| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I bought this vehicle on 4/21/2015 with the impression from the dealer that i could order the telescopic steering wheel and have it installed. I am 6'4 and have to sit farther back so i can't safely reach the steering wheel to drive without the telescopic feature. After talking with ford dealers, ford company, and aftermarket shops, ford does not make a kit or have a way to install the telescopic feature in a truck after it has been manufactured. I am not stuck with this vehicle and not only uncomfortable but unsafe. |
