2010 FORD F-150 Complaints

The system that failed was in the steering/gear shaft. The shaft is failing due to corrosion/rust. The vehicle has erratic steering when turning left or right. The steering does not rebound making it difficult to steer the vehicle which can cause a serious crash. I have had the problem with the steering and almost running off into a ditch. Trying to regain steering is difficult as it seems it gets stuck in position (left or right) and heavy when manually trying to control or correct the steering. The engine intake manifold suffer from the same safety issues that causes the corrosion or rusting of the manifold bolts making it very difficult to maintenance /repair cracked manifolds in the vehicle. The culprit as Ford knows it is salty road conditions. I live in Michigan where salt is applied to the roads often to keep roadways open for travel in the winter months. Ford has found remedies for newer model F-150s that suffer the same issues but has not offered remedy for older models such as mine. These trucks should be afforded the same recall privileges as newer vehicles.

Driving at 5 mph in traffic. Truck suddenly pulls hard right and involved in a glancing blow to a vehicle next to me. Steering wheel then was able to wobble loosely in 3 dimensions with no effect on tire direction. Had turn wheel at least 20 degrees rotation before feeling any engagement: a clunking sound and extremely hard steering with minimal tire response. Truck had to be towed from the accident scene. MANY reports of same problem seen via internet search Several lawsuits noted with various model years. Ford dealer states the steering column parts are obsolete.

I recently bought this truck 12/31/21. On 1/14/22 I was stopped in a parking lot at a stop sign , I was at the sign no one was ahead of me , with my right foot on the brake waiting the Truck began accelerating to the point the rear tires broke traction and the truck rear end started moving to the side , with my foot still on the brake pushing harder ( the pedal felt like the ABS system was pushing against my foot ) I immediately turned the ignition to the off position . After a few seconds I started the truck it idled ok so I proceeded as normal . My drive home was around 25 miles with no more issues . I have only talked to a few people and googled what may have happed but all I’ve seen is unless it can be duplicated or some kind of code shows up this will be hard to diagnose , also I was told it may be worth my while to contact this organization NHTSA . Thank you .
