| Description of the problem | Received power steering assist fault and was unable to turn vehicle. Searching online ford has recalled older models of the f150 but there are numerous complaints of this happening on several ford models. This is a serious, serious safety issue. Further ford is screwing customers over by not recalling these vehicles and making customers replace the entire steering rack at a cost of almost $2000. 00 at minimum this should be included in extended warranties which it is not. Vehicle was reversing out of my garage when the fault occurred and it cannot be reset. The vehicle is now inoperable. |
