| Description of the problem | The steering wheel got stuck when i turned and never returned back on its own. The gear box has been replaced twice, this is now the third time i have to replace the gearbox, on top of all the aggravation and safety concerns i have the dealership now says they cannot get the part, it is on back order being built??? And that they might have to give me a non ford built gearbox??? I have been waiting for over 1 month with no success. This truck is a business truck and i am sooo upset how this has been handled by ford. I am now going to try to file the truck under the lemon law. We need our truck. Please help!!!! |
