| Description of the problem | All super duty cab and chassis and vans also since 2011 though 2015 have had the seat moved to the center by 1 1/2 " to allow for the air bag to have room to expand, between seat and door. But they choose not to move the pedals and steering wheel over to the center 1 1/2 " . They left them off set to the seat center by 1 1/2 " to the left of center of the seat. So basically you steer off to the left of center , which is a dangerous and it hides part of the speedometer. So you spend time struggling trying to read the speedometer , which causes you not to look at the road. This should be a major recall /////// |
