THE FIRST TIME, I MADE A LEFT ,AFTER THE LIGHT CHANGED, AND THE BACK END MADE 180 DEGREE SWING TO MY RIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE WHEEL AND PUT THE TRUCK BACK IN THE LANE. TRAFFIC IN THE LANES TO MY RIGHT WHERE HELD BACK BY THE RED LIGHT. THE NEXT TIME I WAS COMING TO THE CORNER TO MAKE A LEFT AT ABOUT 35 MPH AND THE TRUCK MADE TWO 360 DEGREE SPINS AND ONE 180 DEGREE FLIP AND STOPPED JUST BEFORE AN OVERNIGHT PARKED SEMI-TRUCK, ALSO THE THREE CARS COMING TO THE LIGHT ARRIVED JUST AFTER MY TRUCK CAME TO A STOP. BOTH TIMES IT HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY THANK GOD. !!! THE TRUCK HAS NOT MOVED SINCE.!!!!!

TAKATA RECALL: PROBLEM WITH FORD DEALERSHIP I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL IN JANUARY. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER (PURVIS FORD) IN FEBRUARY, AGAIN IN MARCH AND AGAIN LAST WEEK (JUNE 4 ). I SPOKE WITH I BELIEVE THE SERVICE MANAGER THE LAST TWO TIMES. BOTH THESE TIMES I RECALL LEAVING ALL PERTINENT INFORMATION. THIS PROCESS IS TAKING TOO LONG. I WAS TOLD FORD HAS NOT SENT THE REPLACEMENT DEVICES. BUT I WAS ALSO ASKED WHERE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. THAT SHOULD NOT MATTER. WHAT RESPONSIBILITY DO FORD AND THE DEALER HAVE TO FIX MY VEHICLE QUICKLY? I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AND WILL NOT HAVE PASSENGERS. I BELIEVE FORD IS BEING NEGLIGENT IN THEIR EFFORTS TO PROTECT ME AND MY FAMILY.
