I have been driving a Ford F150 for 20+ years and this is the first time Ford refuses to fix their problem with the lower steering shaft which my dealer stated they have fixed on numerous vehicles. Ford recalled for the autos but not their trucks?? Come on Ford and people complain and they'll have to recall it.

Seemed like my power steering was not working, turned out the whole front end linkage, bearings, and all the other stuff that makes up the front steering had to be replaced due to rust. I don't drive the truck very often in the summer time, I drive my motorcycle, and it all rusted up. That will teach me to leave it parked. Unbelievable to me that so much damage comes from lack of use.
