| Description of the problem | After getting off of work at 1130 pm i went out to warm up my truck. After bout five minutes i went back out to leave got in the truck began to go home . To my surprise not far down the road when i went to go around bin(corner) my steering had locked up and i could barely move it. Luckily i didn't go off the road and didn't get into wreck or anything over this although it was still pretty scary. The dash would beep and flashed power steering assist fault. So i call someone to help me then get on my phone google in power steering assist fault and the year make and model of my truck and it shows me that there had been a recall on that product or whatever the case may be and this is obviously a repeated problem with this truck. Tried talking to the ford people and not only were they rude but was told it wasnt their problem basically cuz the vin number did not show the recall and i can take it up with the dealership. How can they just do that? There are several complaints on the same thing and i could have very easily been hurt as well as anyone else with this problem. |
