| Description of the problem | This is the 2nd time this has happened. About 5 years ago i was in ocala, florida. After unhooking my goose neck trailer i thought my steering was not right, i pull into homewood suites and completely lose my steering. I had it towed to ocala ford and they find the nut of the pitman arm (steering) had fallen off and was sitting on the axle. Now what if i had been on the open highway with that big trailer full of horses. They put it back on. Today i noticed my steering felt "loose". I had my son get under it and that damn nut is ready to fall off again> and i just had it at oxmoor ford a couple months ago & asked them to check it for me because it scared the [xxx] out me the first time so i had it checked. What is ford going to do to assure me this will not happen again??? I reported this to you all when it happened the first time so you have my previous complaint. Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!
