Consumer Description

TOOK MY VEHICLE TO FORD DEALERSHIP AS I WAS HAVING 3 WARNING LIGHTS COME ON & WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL IT MADE A LOUD NOISE. THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE & WHEN THEY RETURNED THE STEERING LOCKED UP & ALMOST CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HIT A BUILDING. THE STEERING LOCKED UP WHICH CAUSED YOU TO NOT BE ABLE TO STEER. IF THIS WOULD OF HAPPENED WHEN I WAS TAKING MY SON TO TOWN WE WOULD OF WRECKED THE TRUCK. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE & THEY SAID I CAN'T DRIVE IT.
