 Description of the problemI had just unhooked a 10,000 lb. Horse trailer with a horse in it which is this trucks main job. I pulled out of the far-thought i felt my steering pull to the right & it seemed like i had to over-correct the wheel to pull i left, i slowed down-drove down the road turning the wheel left & right-everything seemed fine-drove 20 minutes back to my hotel, go to pull in a parking spot & my truck went straight almost hitting the car parked in the spot to the left i was pulling into. I backed up, my steering wheel would spin around many times in both directions. My steering was completely gone! I shiver to think of what a nightmare it could have been had it not broke in a parking lot!!!!!!!!!!! It is at ford of ocala. They called & said a nut had fallen off & they put it back on & put lock tight on it-i am supposed to feel safe??????? Has this happened to anyone else???.. Updated 03-13-13 *bf the consumer stated the nut on the bottom of the steering column came off. It was sitting on the frame. The consumer stated she was charged $58. 00 to have it put back on.
