STEERING
POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING ON THE FREEWAY, CAUSING ME TO VEER ONTO THE SHOULDER UNTIL I COULD MANUALLY REGAIN CONTROL. NO DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. POWER STEERING IS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NOT FUNCTIONING MORE THAN FUNCTIONING. SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR OTHER YEARS WITH THE SAME EQUIPMENT DUE TO THIS, BUT NOT 2013. I'VE FOUND LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE. SOMEONE COULD'VE EASILY BEEN KILLED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR, AND I STILL WON'T FEEL TOTALLY SAFE IN MY VEHICLE ANYMORE KNOWING THAT THIS CAN RANDOMLY HAPPEN AT ANYTIME.

FORD, F-150, 2013 ECOBOOST (109K MILES). WHILE DRIVING THE BREAKS BECOME HARD AS A ROCK, FAIL TO STOP TRUCK AND CHECK BREAK SYSTEMS WARNING COMES ONTO DASH. HAPPENS DURING MOIST WEATHER CONDITIONS.

THIS BREAK FAILURE HAPPENED 4 TIMES TO DATE, DURING HIGH SPEEDS, AVERAGE SPEEDS AND LOW SPEEDS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. NO RECALL FOR MY VIN, ALTHOUGH THE TRUCK MEETS RECALL DETAILS.

2013 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST WITH 62000 MILES. CURRENTLY GIVING CEL CODE P0016. THIS IS THE TIMING CHAIN STRETCH ISSUE. MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A VEHICLE. SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH 62K MILES. NOW THAT I AM 2K MILES OUT OF POWER TRAIN WARRANTY IT IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH I HAD IT TO DEALER FOR SERVICE AND NOTHING WAS EVER MENTIONED WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE RATTLE FOR SOME TIME.
