NHTSA Complaint #11364647 — 2018 FORD F-150

IN HEAVY RAIN ON 10/15/2020 VEHICLE PULLED HARD TO THE LEFT. RESULTING IN VEHICLE HYDROPLANING OF OF I26 AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WENT INTO THE MEDIAN HITTING A BUNCH OF SMALL TREES AND TEARING UP THE VEHICLE. I BARELY MISSED A LARGE TREE THAT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURIES TO ME AND MY 6 YEAR OLD SON. LUCKILY NO INJURIES WHERE SUSTAINED. PREVIOUS TO THE INCIDENT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING OCCASIONAL PULLING TO THE LEFT. ALSO A GRINDING NOISE. BELIEVE TO HAVE A PROBLEM ON THE LEFT FROM SIDE. INCIDENTS WHERE SO OCCASIONAL THAT I DID NOT TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR REPAIR BELIEVING THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIND AN ISSUE THAT HAPPENED ONLY VERY RARELY. (MAYBE ONCE PER MONTH) AFTER THE INCIDENT I GOT LOOKING AROUND AND FOUND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FROM FORD THAT I BELIEVE IS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. FORD SHOULD BE RECALLING VEHICLES FOR THIS SO THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT INJURED. BULLETIN NUMBER IS 18-2273. PICS AND BULLETIN ATTACHED.
