“The passenger side front radius arm bushing failed on my 1995 Ford F-150 resulting in the loss of steering. The vehicle had 74,900 miles at the time of incident. The failure was repaired at courtesy Ford in syracuse at a cost of 549.21. The reason I was given for the failure was rot. I was about to enter an interstate and had this failure occurred then it probably would have resulted in a fatal accident. Since this is a item that is crucial to safety I feel that this item should not have failed. Also, when being repaired, the driver side bracket was also repaired as it was about to fail also.”
NHTSA complaint #10013637, filed 2003-03, 74,754 miles“The right front radius rod bushing mount failed. This resulted in the right front tire moving rearward, loss of steering control. Had it occurred at high speed, serious accident could have occurred.”
NHTSA complaint #10025357, filed 2003-07, 15 miles“Steering pump started growling when steering was corrected due to the steel part of steering hoses being rusted, and one of them had rusted through, causing fluid to spray out under pressure. Thereby emptying power steering reservoir, and causing loss of steering. Brakes repaird due to failure.”
