Issue ID	329632

Brand	FORD
Model	F-150
Model Year	2001
File date	13/09/01

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Loose steering, second (replacement) steering gear. The original steering gear was noisy and the dealer replaced it with a used, rebuilt unit at 3,264 miles. Current (used) gear has excessive free play, the vehicle wanders and is difficult to control on the highway. Ford refuses to supply the dealer with a new gear. The dealer refuses to replace or adjust the loose gear. I feel the safety of the vehicle is in question with the used gear in it due to lack of traceability of the gear in case of a recall or safety campaign. *ak
