“All three bolts on the steering compartment went out and lost control of my pickup truck. I was leaving from my driveway when this happened driving 2 MPH per hour. An hour prior to this my daughter drove this vehicle on a highway and I am glad nothing had happened to her, thank god. I called inter-mountain towing company in slc, ut and they took it to Ford performance dealership. They replaced it and I asked for old bolts so I can send them to you, but they said these are inside my pick up truck. We checked and there were none. I also have photo of those if you need it. …”
