| Description of the problem | My 2012 f150 with 82k, miles on it 08/08/2019 got in my vehicle starter vehicle it made a strange noise from engine compartment proceeded to back out of driveway and had no power steering. What scares me is what if i had been on the freeway at 50 miles an hour or better and the power steering went out? Also my door lock on driver side would not work paid $400 to have it fixed now the passenger side has failed. My question is what if i could not get out if my trucks power steering went out while driving and crashed i couldn't get out. I feel this is not a coincident,i feel this is factory defective parts! There's too many of the same reported incidents, does someone have to die before we get a fix? My next step is social media and a 20 20 investigation into why no one has made an attempt to save human lives as opposed to bribery and fat bank accounts. I believe it is a power steering modular/factory defect. Also i don't know what is making the door locks fail except for factory defective equipment,i'm not a mechanic just a hard working american citizen, made in america used to mean something! I've made copies of this report for future use. For future correspondence; [xxx] to whomever receives this report i hope doesn't put it in the dead file. Thank you, i think?
