Consumer Description

MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE TAKEN A TURN IN MY 2013 F150 AND THE STEERING GOES "STIFF" FOR 5-10 SECONDS. IT FEELS LIKE I DON'T EVEN HAVE POWER STEERING OR ANY CONTROL OVER THE WHEEL. AND IT'S TERRIFYING EACH TIME IT HAPPENS. I'VE ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD INTO THE RAILING WHILE GOING AROUND A SHARP TURN ON A MOUNTAIN THAT COULD OF CAUSED ME TO RUN OFF THE CLIFF DUE TO THE LOCKED UP STEERING.
