Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Turn signal are now sporadic. Upon investigating I found that when the tilt is engaged and lowered the turn signals would not work. Raise steering wheel back up it would work. Start to drive down the road they would turn off or not work at all or wok sometimes. Raise the steering wheel they work. Lower it they don't. This indicates from further research on line in Ford f150 forums this is a problem with the wiring being to short and the wires get pulled out of the switch. It is a very common occurrence in f!%) from 98 up to 2004 and are now being reported in newer models as well. …”
