| Description of the problem | While driving the truck steering got locked making the truck unsafe to drive on the highway. We took it to the local ford dealer, who could not explain why this happened. The dealer also informed us that they had to replace the same part on other vehicles in guam. Also, ford has recalled 2014 f150s assembled in one plant for similar, if not same problems. We believe that this requires further research and an action need to be taken immediately before serious accidents happen causing loss of life. We did not get a satisfactory answer from the dealer. According to the dealer they brought it to the ford about this issue and informed them that they had to perform same work on other vehicles in guam. I appreciate if nhtsa take up this issue and investigate to avoid accidents and keep the highways safe to the citizens. Thank you very much for your understanding and time to look into this issue. |
