Description of the problem | Second incident with my 2011 ford f-150. Epas steering gear failed 9 months after purchasing new. Failed again last week. Second replacement of this gear. This is a safety hazard. The first time this gear failed, i was unable to steer, fortunately i was turning at a stop light at slow speed. This most recent time i could still steer but wasn't sure for how long. This is a well known issue with this model truck and should be recalled and properly fixed before someone looses steering at highway speeds. |
