Description of the problem | Starting a month or two ago while driving, the power steering on my ford f150 stopped working leading to an inability to turn without using a lot of strength. The issue appears to be relatively intermittent but frequent. This means sometimes i have the ability to steer normally, but more frequently than not i am muscling the vehicle through turns. The only precedence i can find for this issue is a recall on my same make, model, and year for the electric power steering, but upon talking with ford, my truck was not identified as part of the recall, even though all of the symptoms match. I cannot find any other precedence for the issue, and cannot find any guidance. All i know is that the vehicle is not safe to drive, as there is no telling whether or not i will be able to steer. On carcomplaints. Com, it appears that about 70 other people have reported the same issue. Which leads me to believe the issue is very prominent, as i'm sure only a small percentage of people have reported the issue to this site. |
