Consumer Description

I AM EXPERIENCING A SEVERE PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING ON MY TRUCK. WHEN PARKED, STOPPED, OR IDLING, I AM UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEELS IN EITHER DIRECTION, REGARDLESS OF SURFACE. THIS IS AN ISSUE OF SAFETY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND ALTHOUGH THEY ARE HELPFUL AND SYMPATHETIC, THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT APPRECIATE PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER AS WE PULL OUR TRAVEL TRAILER AND MIGHT INCUR AN INSTANCE WHERE I WOULD NEED MY TRUCK TO BE ABLE TO TURN AND IT WILL NOT. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND AM WAITING FOR A REPLY.*AK
