Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“1999.5 Ford-f350 diesel steering sector shaft snapped. Driving down highway, steering wheel was off 1/4 turn. In parking lot, shaft snapped and steering wheel spun freely without any wheel movement. Looks like there was an investigation, action # ea01009 (sector shaft fractures) but no recall. Chat boards have this happening way too often. The only things on a car that should not break are the breaks and the steering!”
