POOR GAS MILEAGE; HAS AVERAGED 15.4 MILES PER GALLON, AND FORD ADVERTISES 16 CITY TO 20 HIGHWAY. OTHER F150 OWNERS REPORT POOR GAS MILEAGE. IS THIS FALSE ADVERTISING BECAUSE I WOULD NEVER HAVE PURCHASED TRUCK GETTING 15.4 MILES PER GALLON WHEN I TRAVEL MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. I HAVE A LOUD RATTLE NOISE UNDER TRUCK AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND MUFFLER HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED! ALSO, VIBRATION VIA GAS PEDAL FROM ENGINE (?) NOTED BETWEEN 45 AND 55 MPH. *AK

STEERING
THE STEERING ON MY 1999 FORD F150 SUPERCAB (LARIET MODEL) WILL NOT COME BACK TO CENTERING. WHEN I SLIGHTLY TURN THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT IT JUST KEEPS ON GOING IN THAT DIRECTION. I HAVE HAD THIS IN THE DEALER FOR THEM TO LOOK AT AND THEY ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM SO THAY CONTACTED THE FORD ENGINEER AND WAS TOLD THEY ALL DO THE SAME ON THE 1999 F150 PICK-UPS WITH SUPERCAB AND V-8 ENGINE. IT SEEMS TO BE ONLY ON THIS SUSPENSION ON THIS MODEL. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHERS AND THEY DO THE SAME. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS STEERING PROBLEM. I ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON SNOW COVERED ROADS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS I DROVE OF THE SAME STYLE FROM THE DEALER WERE ALL THE SAME. I WOULD APPRECIATE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS VERY SERIOUS STEERING PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE JUST WILL NOT GO DOWN THE ROAD STRAIGHT WITHOUT FORCEFULLY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO CENTER TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT IT.
