STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
WHEN HOLDING THE BRAKES ON LEVEL GROUND OR A STEEP HILL WHLE STANDING STILL, IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL UNTIL THE BRAKES ARE RELEASED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY ON STEEP INCLINES. FORD DEALER SAYS IT'S DUE TO STEERING GEOMETRY BUT YET IT IS WORSE WHEN ENGINE COMES OFF FAST IDLE AND POWER STEERING PUMP IS TURNING SLOWER DUE TO LOWER ENGINE SPEED. ON A RECENT TRIP I WAS IN A FRIENDS RATHER STEEP DRIVEWAY IN THE SMOKEY MOUNTAINS AND IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BACK OUT OF DRIVEWAY AS I COULDN'T HOLD THE BRAKES AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT THE SAME TIME TO STEER OUT ON TO THE MAIN DRIVE. HAD I RELEASED THE BRAKES I WOULD HAVE CRASHED THROUGH A RETAINING FENCE AND WENT DOWN THE THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTIAN. IT IS OFTEN NECESSARY TO TO POSITION THE WHEELS WHILE HOLDING THE BRAKE AT A STANDSTILL, ESPECIALLY IN MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN. FORD NEEDS TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. MY FORD DEALER HAS RECEIVED NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS CONDITION AND IT IS A TOPIC OF CONVERSATION ON MANY ONLINE BULLETIN BOARDS SO IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT PECULIAR TO MY TRUCK ONLY. *AK
