STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
STEERING HAS NO POWER ASSIST WHEN STOPPED AND BRAKES ARE APPLIED. VEHICLE IS DIFFICLUT TO PARK WHEN ON AN INCLINE DUE TO INABILITY TO TURN WHEEL WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. I ALSO HAVE CONCERN ABOUT HOW THE THE VEHICLE WILL RESPOND IN AN EMERGENCY STOP SITUATION IF THE WHEEL CANNOT BE TURNED WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED HARD. WITH THIS SYSTEM I MAY BE ABLE TO STOMP AND STAY BUT NOT SURE IF I WILL BE ABLE TO STEER. IHAVE TAKEN TRUCK TO DEALER FOR THIS CONDITION BUT WAS REFERRED TO FORD SPECIAL SERVICE MESSAGE #12995 AND TOLD THE CONDITION WAS NORMAL.*AK
