I PURCHASED MY 2013 FORD F-150 V6 3.5L FROM JONS FRIENDLY USED CARS BACK IN APRIL OF 2017. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DOING FINE UNTIL RECENTLY (LAST 2 DAYS). AS I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, THE TRUCK WAS DELAYING W/SHIFTING, THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO AND WHICH PUT THE TRUCK INTO FAILSAFE. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS AND IDENTIFYING THE CODE (P0270), IT CONFIRMED THE SYMPTOMS I WAS EXPERIENCING. I GUESS I'M WONDERING IS THIS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT NEED TO REPLACE (OUT OF POCKET) OR IS FORD OR THE DEALERSHIP NEEDING TO GET THIS REPLACED IF IT'S BEEN IDENTIFIED/POSTED ON THE TSB. HOW CAN I SEE IF MY CAR IS COVERED OR NOT?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS IS A GENERAL COMPLAINT AGAINST ALL NEW BLUE AND BRIGHTER HEADLIGHTS. THEY ARE A SAFETY HAZARD. ESPECIALLY IN THE NEW F 150 AND SIMILAR BIG PICK UP TRUCKS WHEN ONE IS BEHIND YOU, THEY ARE HIGHER THAN YOUR CAR AND IT IS LIKE SHINING A SPOTLIGHT IN YOUR CAR. WILL TEMPORALITY BLIND YOU. WHEN ONE COMES AT YOU EVEN WITH LOW BEAMS THEY ARE A SAFETY HAZARD. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A AGE ISSUE. BUT FOUND OUT LAST WEEK AT EYE DOCTOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES ARE COMPLAINING WAS ALMOST IN ROAD RAGE OVER A LARGE PICKUP TRUCK THAT FOLLOWED ME ON MY BUMPER WITH THOSE BRIGHT, BRIGHT BLUE HEADLIGHTS. . WERE THEY EVEN STUDIED BEFORE THE WERE APPROVED FOR USE. A CAR WAS AT AN INTERSECTION NEXT TO ME WITH A BLUE LIGHT TRUCK BEHIND HER. HER CAR WAS LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. SHE HAD TO TURN HER REAR VIEW DOWNWARD TO BLOCK THE GLARE. DO NOT EVEN LOOK IN REAR VIEW MIRROR, WHICH MAGNIFYS THE LIGHTS AND MAKES THEM WORSE. IF YOU ARE AT AN INTERSECTION FACING ONE OF THESE CARS OR TRUCKS WITH NEW HEADLIGHTS, AND THE ROAD IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN YOUR SIDE, YOU ALMOST WANT TO JUMP OUT OF YOUR CAR AND PUT YOUR HANDS AN SIDE OF CAR AND WAIT FOR A PAT DOWN. PLEASE CAN YOU LOOK INTO THIS SITUATION. IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE AS MORE NEW CARD ARE COMING OUT WITH THESE NEW BRIGHTER ANNOYING UNSAFE LIGHTS, THANK YOU

STEERING
WHILE BACKING OUT OF TIGHT PARKING SPOT 9/1/17, WITH MULTIPLE TURNS OF THE WHEEL, TURNED WHEEL ONE LAST TIME TO PULL FORWARD INTO PARKING SPOT DRIVE AREA BUT AT THAT POINT, HEARD A CLUNK AND ALL STEERING CONTROL WAS GONE. CALLED FOR A TOW. TOW TRUCK DRIVE ASSISTED IN THE DIAGNOSIS NOTING THAT THE STEERING BOX HAD DISCONNECTED FROM VAN FRAME RENDERING STEERING WHEEL CONNECTION LINES USELESS. HAD VAN TOWED HOME. AFTER ONLINE READ, LOOKED AT FRAME THROUGH LEFT FRONT TIRE ACCESS AND SAW THE 3 BOLTS WE READ ABOUT. GRABBED THE TOP BOLT AND IT CAME RIGHT OUT. SAME WITH SECOND BOLT. LAST (THIRD) BOLT WAS A BIT JAMMED DUE TO THE STEERING BOX DROP, BUT ALL 3 BOLTS HAD SHEARED AND ALL STEERING WAS LOST. HAD WE NOT STOPPED AT A STORE FOR LABOR DAY HOLIDAY SUPPLIES ON OUR WAY TO CAMPSITE, WOULD HAVE LOST STEERING SOMEWHERE ELSE, LIKE ON THE FREEWAY, POSSIBLY DURING A SIMILAR TURN SITUATION. WE COULD HAVE KILLED OTHERS OR OURSELVES. FOUND THAT THIS FORD E150 STEERING BOLT ISSUE HAS ALREADY BEEN DOCUMENTED. WHY WHEN WE HAD THE VAN SERVICED AND SAID THE STEERING HAD FELT "LOOSE", WHY DIDN'T ANY MECHANIC FIND THIS POTENTIAL?? UN-EXCUSABLE SITUATION. OUR PARENTS, CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN ARE CURRENTLY DEPENDENT ON US. HAD WE DIED DUE TO LOSS OF STEERING, WHAT A NIGHTMARE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN. GRANTED, THE 20-YR-OLD VAN IS RUSTY, BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW TO LOOK UNDER THE LEFT FRONT TIRE AREA AND APPARENTLY, MULTIPLE (NON-FORD DEALERSHIPS) MECHANICS DIDN'T EITHER !!
