“I have a 1995 Ford F-250 4x4 truck. The steering shaft coming out of the steering box has broken in half twice. Once on 12/24/01 and once again on 2/02. In both cases, I lost complete control of steering. Ford tells me that there is no recall and I am the only case that they know of in which this has happened (let alone twice). Yet I have an aquantence for whom this has also happened.”
NHTSA complaint #10020699, filed 2003-05, 165,000 miles“Intermittently while driving and all of a sudden there were no brakes/ steering, and no control. Engine continued to run when this happened. It has happened 3 times within the last four months. Dealer was not able to duplicate problem. Ford was aware of this problem. The vehicle's ignition switch is a major problem that Ford company has to recall.”
