NHTSA Complaint #11420343 — 2013 FORD F-150

On 6/6/2021 I was slowing down to turn left into a strip mall and lost all power to my steering in my recently purchased 2013 F150 with 65,650 miles on it. This was only day 4 of me driving it as it was bought on 5/29/21. The battery warning appeared on my dash. I was able to maneuver my way into the parking lot safety, but this could have been a much worse situation if I was traveling faster, on a curvy road or needed to avoid something in the road (a child, tire, stalled vehicle). I was frightened for my life and fear this could happen again. Major safety issue not only for me, but other drivers on the road. The battery was not the issue and is currently at the repair shop being looked at.
