STEERING
ON JAN 21ST 2020, WHILE MANEUVERING AT A GAS STATION, I HEARD A LOUD POP/CRACK. THINKING I HAD HIT A STANCHION, I WALKED AROUND MY VAN BUT - NO STANCHION. NOTHING TO SEE SO I GO ABOUT MY DAY. STEERING PULLED TO THE RIGHT, I CHECKED FOR LOW TIRE PRESSURE - PRESSURE, OK. 40 MILES OF FREEWAY DRIVING LATER, I TAKE THE VAN TO THE GARAGE - STEERING FEELS LOOSE. AFTER INSPECTION, THE DANGER I WAS IN, AND THE THREAT I WAS TO THOSE AROUND ME ON THE ROAD, WAS MOST APPARENT. THE STEERING GEAR BOX WAS LOOSE FROM THE FRAME, ONE BOLT HAVING SHEERED OFF. AND THE FRAME ITSELF CRACKED. IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN FINDING THAT FATIGUE FAILURE AT THIS PART OF THE FRAME WAS WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE INTERNET AND YET, AS AN ORIGINAL OWNER, I HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THIS KNOWN AND DANGEROUS DESIGN DEFECT BY FORD MOTOR CO OR LANDMARK FORD. HOW MANY VANS OF THE SAME VINTAGE ARE STILL ON THE ROAD ?? HOW MANY ARE SAFE TO DRIVE ALONG SIDE?? I GUESS I AM LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO WRITE THIS NOTE, COS HAD MY STEERING BOX BROKEN LOOSE WHILE DRIVING ACROSS THE GLEN JACKSON BRIDGE, (I 205), I COULD EASILY HAVE ENDED UP IN THE COLUMBIA RIVER ALONG WITH OTHER INNOCENTS. DISILLUSIONED CUSTOMER. 1994 FORD E150, 170,289 MLS, FRAME @ STEERING GEAR BOX.

RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER FROM FORD (LITERALLY 2 WEEKS AFTER IT 1ST HAPPENED) FOR A SENSOR TO BE RESET BC OF TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTING WHILE IN MOTION. AFTER DEALERSHIP FINISHED TRUCK STILL WAS DOWNSHIFTING WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY OR STREET AT ANY SPEED. TOOK TRUCK BACK AND THEY RESET AGAIN. TRUCK STILL CONTINUES TO DOWNSHIFT WHILE IN MOTION. WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AGAIN IN HIGHWAY. IT IS HARD TO STEER AND CONTROL WHEN IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY. HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART ENGINE TO BE ABLE TO GO AGAIN. FORD IS SAYING WE HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS, BUT THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK IS WHAT IT IS BEING RECALLED FOR. THEIR REMEDY OF REPROGRAMING THE SENSOR IS NOT WORKING AND DRIVING THE TRUCK IS DANGEROUS. WE NEED HELP PLEASE! THEY WON'T FIX THEIR FAULTY PROBLEM.
