    Steering

    Twice in the last 5 years i have experienced total steering loss while driving ford f-250 v10 triton pickup truck, i am fortunate to be alive, both times the connection to the steering box broke. There have been no aftermarket modifications done to this truck. Very serious issue! Truck is in the shop now following most recent failure. I fear thinking about the consequences had either of these two failures occurred…

    Service Brakes · Steering

    While driving back home from shopping my brakes (anti-lock style) locked up and violently shook my vehicle all over the road i was driving on. I had limited or no control at all of this incident. Was doing about 40 mph. Truck acted as if brakes were applied on and off 50/60 times so fast that there was nothing to do but hang on to the steering wheel. At one point i thought i was going to flip over as the truck went…

I was very fortunate to have been able to get the truck to the…

    Steering · Suspension

    After traveling over small bumps, like railroad tracks most recently, at around 30mph, one front wheel started bouncing violently, making vehicle loose control until truck could be brought to a stop. Had experienced this numerous time in the past but thought problem was solved by adding a steering stabilizer a few years ago. Problem has returned. Each time, this has nearly resulted in a catastrophic accident. *tr

    Rotor · Steering

    Vehicle is hard to steer while driving. Vehicle had been to dealer and problem was reoccurring. *ak steering is becoming difficult to handle at higher speeds. Consumer has to continually be aware because you never know when the steering will fail. Also the front rotors needed resurfacing at 25335 miles. The right front was badly warped and was causing a vibration while in motion. It was grabbing at stops or when…

  • Accelerator Pedal · Steering

    Consumer was pulling out of an intersection onto a four lane highway. The consumer floor the accelerator pedal in order to get up to speed with oncoming traffic when the vehicle suddenly idled down. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who determined that the throttle stopping device on the pedal assembly bent when the pedal was floor and caused the truck to idle down instead of up. The steering wheel did not respond…
