STEERING
DURING DRIVING THE STEERING RANDOMLY LOCKED UP. STEERING WAS NOT JUST STIFF (AS WOULD HAPPEN WITH THE CONVENTIONAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING); THE STEERING FELT LOCKED AS IF THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND THE WHEEL TURNED TO LOCK IN SOME VEHICLES. HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY AND TURNING CORNERS THE FIRST TWO TIMES, THIRD TIME WAS WHILE TRYING TO PARALLEL PARK. LOCKED UP WHILE TURNING BOTH TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT. THESE THREE OCCASIONS HAPPENED DURING A 10 MINUTE PERIOD. UNLOCKED SIMILARLY RANDOMLY (ATTEMPTED CRANKING HARDER ON THE WHEEL, JIGGLING, POWER CYCLING THE VEHICLE; NO LINK TO ANY OF THESE). A FEW WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS TRIP, THE STEERING BECAME SUDDENLY NOTCHY (FOUND HARD SPOTS IN ROTATION OF WHEEL THAT I POPPED OVER WITH MORE FORCE) WHILE DRIVING ~STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY, RETURNED TO NORMAL WHEN DRIVING HOME. THEN OVER THE FOLLOWING WEEKS THE WHEEL STOPPED RETURNING TO CENTER AND BECAME STIFF ALL THE TIME AND NOTCHY FREQUENTLY. ATTEMPTED REPLACING INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT, THINKING U-JOINTS WERE BINDING, BUT DID NOT FIX NOTCHY, STIFF STEERING. DIAGNOSIS AT MECHANIC REVEALED ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WAS NONRESPONSIVE TO ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION AND NOT RESPONDING TO COMMANDS WHEN COMMUNICATION WAS ESTABLISHED. REPLACEMENT OF POWER STEERING UNIT FIXED PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, WHILE TOWING OUR RV, "LOW BRAKE FLUID" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND BRAKES FAILED. THE ONLY WAY I COULD SAFELY STOP WAS USING THE TRAILER BRAKES. I BELIEVE OUR VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN CURRENT RECALL, BUT FORD IS STATING OUR VIN IS NOT PART OF RECALL.

THE BACKUP CAMERA WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN PLACED IN REVERSE, THE BACKUP SCREEN THAT DISPLAYS THE IMAGE FROM THE CAMERA IS BLANK. THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION SHIFTER HAS TO BE PLACED BACK INTO PARK OR PLACED INTO NEUTRAL, THEN BACK INTO REVERSE FOR THE CAMERA SCREEN TO DISPLAY AN IMAGE. THIS OCCURS WHEN STATIONARY OR MOVING. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN JUST AFTER THE PURCHASE OF VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED CAMERA, BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. RELYING ON THE CAMERA SCREEN TO FUNCTION WHEN NEEDED AND NOT WORKING, CREATED A NEAR MISS ON HITTING A FIXED OBJECT.

ENGINE
TRAVELING DOWN A TWO-LANE ROAD ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK'S ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER AND AN ERROR MESSAGE POPPED UP ON THE SCREEN. HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BLOCKING TRAFFIC DUE TO NO SHOULDER. HAD TO PUT TRUCK IN PARK, TURN OFF MOTOR AND ONLY THEN WAS ABLE TO GET MOTOR RUNNING AGAIN. MANAGED TO GET 1/4 MILE BACK HOME. FOUND OUT FROM MY OBD DIAGNOSTICS THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS STUCK. ONLY OPTION WAS TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY TO ENSURE IT DIDN'T OCCUR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR WORSE, A MAJOR INTERSECTION. NO PROBLEMS SINCE REPLACEMENT.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I STARTED MY TRUCK WITH AUTOMATIC START SO THAT IT COULD WARM UP. WHEN I WAS READY TO LEAVE I WENT OUTSIDE, GOT INTO TRUCK AND PUT THE KEYS IN. I WAS ABOUT TO BACK UP WHEN I NOTICED MY BACK WINDOW HAD FOG ON IT SO I TRIED TO TURN ON THE REAR DEFOGGER. THE LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON SAYING THAT IT WAS ON SO I PUSHED THE BUTTON A FEW MORE TIMES. THE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. I WAS ABOUT TO BACK MY TRUCK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A LOUD BANG AND MY SON, WHO WAS IN THE BACK SEAT FACING FORWARD WITH HIS SEATBELT ON, SAID THE BACK WINDOW IS CRACKING. IT WAS THE REAR WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I GOT OUT TO LOOK AND NOTHING HAD HIT THE BACK WINDOW, IT JUST BROKE ON ITS OWN. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS A FAILURE TO THE REAR DEFOGGER OR THE WINDOW
