While driving on interstate 81 near dixie caverns, Virginia, while entering curve on interstate, the steering seemed to fail and would not turn. Impacted the guardrail and came to a stop. No other vehicles were involved. The system to alert 911 also failed. The horn honked for approximately one minute the side curtain airbags deployed. Truck was damaged on the entire passenger side. Inquired at dealership about steering problems with Ford and was told there were none.

Very noticeable popping/bouncing/knocking of steering wheel/column when going over bumps. Occurs at all speeds and all steering angles.

The front end shakes and shimmies @ lower speeds, say less than 50mph from the time we received it. I gave it some time and @ 543 miles I took it in. The dealership determined it was the drive shaft, @ first it felt good, but it was my hoping it was the problem.so here we are, if they don't, how the [xxx] am I suppose to know.the dealership never mentioned they was an issue with the front end. After reading online of the problems with front ends I haven't been back.so here we are...... information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I was driving my month old brand new Ford 150 and completely loss power steering. Thank goodness I was going straight or I am sure that it would have been a lot worse. It is still in the shop they think the steering rack is gone and now I am driving a crappy Toyota Camry as a rental. So not happy I bought Ford because they had a great reputation and love the truck but this is unacceptable.

While driving at speeds around 40 mph the steering wheel has a rattle felt through it. It feels as though the electric power steering is giving feedback or the front shocks are loose. At speeds around 70 mph, this cannot be felt. Ford techs rotated and balanced tires, but that did not fix it. They mentioned that the new electric power steering system works based upon speed. This problem appears to be worse at low speeds and ok at higher speeds. There is definitely a problem that Ford needs to fix!

I experienced a knocking in the steering wheel when driving over small bumps.. it feels like something is loose in the steering. It is getting worse in hot weather. Dealer said it is normal.

While driving in a straight line under 40 mph I can feel a banging in the steering wheel traveling up the steering column it feels like the front of the truck is loose. This happens while driving on smooth roads as well as rougher roads, and is more pronounced when the temps outside go above 75 degrees and the longer I drive it the worse it gets, if it is a cooler day out it does not happen. Ford service dept. Wants to change out the lower steering shaft, but I don't think that is going to solve the problem. I know there are issues with the electronic power steering units in these trucks that cause these symptoms. I don't think a brand new $50,000 truck with 1600 miles on it should be having any problems.

While driving on the interstate with cruise control set approximately at 70mph, I stepped on the gas to accelerate past a vehicle. The truck did not respond but decelerated and the steering wheel began to shake. The check engine light flashed. I continued to drive and with only slight pressure to the gas to maintain speed. After approximately 5-10 seconds the vehicle regained power. The incident happened a second time, same conditions same results. The Ford dealer says its a known problem with parts back ordered. This seems unacceptable if its a know problem. Someone can get in a serious accident at highway speeds if they pulled out in fast moving traffic expecting acceleration to be there.
