STEERING
THE ELECTRIC POWER STEER IN MY 2013 FORD F150 TRUCK IS FAILING TO WORK PROPERLY. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE PROVIDING AN POWER ASSIST AT ALL AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEN TAKING SLOW SPEED SHARP TURNS(90 DEGREES) THE STEER SEEMS TO LOCK UP AND I HAVE TO APPLY ALOT OF FORCE TO THE STEER WHEEL TO GET THE TRUCK'S WHEELS TO COME BACK STRAIGHT AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION. I PURCHASED THIS F150 NEW FROM SUGARLOAF FORD IN WINONA MINNESOTA IN 2013.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
TAKATA RECALL FOR FORD F150 2009-2014 EQUIPPED WITH REAR SLIDING WINDOW WITH DEFROST FEATURE. REAR WINDOW OR SECTIONS OF THE REAR WINDOW WILL SHATTER IF THE REAR WINDOW & SIDE MIRROR DEFROST SYSTEM IS ENGAGED. A SECTION OF MINE BROKE TODAY WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. HAD 22 MILES TO DRIVE IN THE SNOW BUT IT WAS NOT THAT COLD OUTSIDE AND I ONLY HAD THE REAR DEFROST ON WHEN WE FIRST LEFT WORK AND HEADED OUT. DEFROSTER TIMES OUT AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES SO IT WAS OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND THEN THE DRIVERS SIDE PANEL POPS AND CRACKS. I EVEN HAD THE REAR WINDOW OPEN A WEE BIT SO I COULD PUSH MORE AIR THROUGH THE CAB TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD BETTER.. WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT, I THOUGHT A TREE BRANCH HIT THE TOP OF THE ROOF. BUT THE NOISE SOUNDED A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN SOME OBJECT HITTING THE TRUCK. THE DRIVER REAR PANEL IS SHATTERED BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER GLASS PANELS. DEFINITELY AROUND THE HEATING ELEMENT WIRES AND THE PANEL IS STILL INTACT.

STEERING
2013 FORD F-150 STX WITH 45K MILES-- STEERING SUDDENLY BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND WOULD BRIEFLY FREEZE UP WHEN CITY DRIVING, MOVING AT 20-40 MPH. I TOOK IT TO WOLTZ AND WIND FORD AND FOUND OUT THAT THE TRUCK HAD ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST STEERING.AN INTERMEDIATE SHAFT WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $428.FURTHER RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM HAS SHOWN THAT THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS TYPE OF STEERING THAT CAN LEAD UP TO TOTAL STEERING FAILURE AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I NOW AM QUESTIONING WHETHER TO KEEP THIS TRUCK THAT COULD COST ME $2000 TO FIX WHEN THE RACK NEEDS REPLACED OR POSSIBLY EVEN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. OTHER FORD VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM HAVE BEEN RECALLED SO WHY HAS THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECT IN THIS TRUCK NOT BEEN RECALLED?

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH AND THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT TWICE. THE SECOND DOWNSHIFT REVVED THE ENGINE VERY HIGH CAUSING A QUICK JERK AT THE FAIRLY HIGH SPEED. THIS OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 6000 FT ON A TWO LANE STRAIGHT MOUNTAIN ROAD. HAD THIS OCCURRED A FEW DAYS EARLIER WHEN DRIVING ON SNOW AND ICE, I WOULD HAVE SURELY LOST CONTROL AND COLLIDED HEAD ON WITH THE LARGE BOULDERS OR HUGE PINE TREES. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY.
