Description of the problem | Takata recall. When pulling out into traffic on a very busy highway as the on coming traffic speed limit is 50mph, i'm pulling out on the highway with a safe distance between cars on this busy road as i accelerated my 2010 f150 fx4 super crew cab "with my family in the truck i might add" the truck just down shifts and it slams me and my family forward "like i hit a tree going 30mph" the truck shuts off completely and a symbol of a wrench pops up on the dashboard. With no power steering, no power breaks, no way to safely move the truck off the road at this point due to the traffic i was trying to avoid was passing me going at least 50mph almost getting rear ended by several cars and semi trucks, i push the flashers on and pray that nothing bad happens and coast until the truck finally comes to a stop after about 30-45 seconds. I get out of the truck after the group of vehicles pass by and inspected to see if the engine or transmission was blown up or leaking fluid and nothing at this point so i'm stressed out because my family and i could have very well died and there is no proof of this when i restarted the truck no symbols was present when inspected by a mechanic. I keep telling the mechanic that it has no power any more, it sooooo sluggish i can't even drive the truck much anymore, only on short trips to the store. We had to cancel or vacation and cancel the purchase of a camper for our vacation. I'm sorry but if ford was a real symbol of safety and security of its owners this would have never happened in the first place. This needs to be fixed asap!!! |
