| Description of the problem | My son was only traveling straight at a low speed on a side street when he was no longer able to steer his truck. He then applied the brakes to stop. He had to turn off the truck wait a few minutes then turn it back on several times to get home. We checked to see if this major manufacturing defect was covered by warranty or a recall. No warranty of course (2014 f150 with 53,000 miles) the recall for this exact problem was for trucks built between may 26, 2014 and june 19, 2014 and of course my son's was built in october 2014. We are told that it will cost somewhere around $2000 to try to fix this and more than likely it will continue to fail even after being "fixed". Ford knows it |
