 Description of the problemDriving down the road and a message pops up on the screen. It says "steering assist fault". It should have said omg don't panic and slow the truck to a complete stop and try not to die because you have lost all of your steering capabilities. I could not imagine if i was around too many vehicles or one of my children were driving the truck. This is such a major safety concern that all f150s with this potential problem should not be driven until repaired. With all of the safety measures and companies such as you guys why on earth is this truly life threatening issue allowed? Apparently, the 2013 model is not part of the recall for this problem? There are many complaints and many easily found forums talking about this issue. There has to be deaths attributed to this issue. For what is worth the other issues are nonlife-threatening but noless annoying and should be recalled. I have two 2013 f150 fords and both have had their rear windows replaced due to the defrost breaking. The lariat has had it's replaced twice, twice! Both trucks have had their sunroof guts replaced. One almost flew off the vehicle driving down the highway. Complaints and forums galore talk about all three of these issues.
