problem #1

May 282003

E-150 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 72,161 miles
The steering linkage fell off my 1999 Ford E150 van nearly causing a severe accident. My wife was driving the van. My four children with her. She lost control of the van after the linkage fell off. She barely had time to stop before going through a fence. I am an engineer. It would seem that steering linkage would be comprised of components with an insignificant risk of failure. We do not trust the van anymore. It is hard to imagine what might have happened to my family if they were on the freeway when the linkage fell off.
