I have been having issues with this vehicle in the steering. It will pull to the left or right at any given time going down the road. We are a full service shop and own this vehicle. We have checked everything and contacted Ford. They recommended changing the steering shaft that goes to the steering gear box. We did, but it still does it. Not sure what to do next. We are in the process of changing the steering gear as we have no other options.

I was making a left hand turn when the steering started to wobble, shimming. I was traveling at approx. 45 mph and had to slow to 20 before it stopped. This pick up has had small shimming before but nothing this bad. I just replaced the shocks and had it aligned. It seems to be even worse and yes I have the tire pressure at the recommended 80 psi. It is dangereous. Ford sent a letter April 2009 09L02. They pretty much said the NHTSA was looking into it and live with it. Please help!

I was driving on interstate 75 when the truck and steering wheel started vibrating violently, as I applied the brakes to slow the vehicle it pulled sharp to the left taking the vehicle onto the median. Once the vehicle stopped, facing in the opposite direction I got out and checked the left front wheel, it was too hot to touch. I let it cool and then proceeded to the nearest exit. I had the left front wheel inspected, but no problem was discovered. I continued on my trip from Tennessee to Florida. On the return trip the problem happened three times, each time I stopped and let the wheel cool before continuing. I researched this problem on the internet and found that several other individuals have experienced the same problem. I believe the ntsb should require Ford Motor Company to recall these vehicles and correct the problem before someone is injured or killed. There is sufficient documentation on the internet to justify the ntsb taking action.

Driving on a corner onramp the truck's power steering gave out and the vehicle became almost impossible to steer. I applied the brakes and the steering returned. This has happened numerous times while driving. No issues were found with the power steering pump. Recently had the power steering system flushed and that seemed to improve the problem; however, it's starting to return. Will be taking it back in again to see if the issue can be fixed.

- Schenectady, NY, USA

I was slowing down to make a left hand turn and I completely lost the ability to steer. I could not budge the wheel at all. My brakes still worked, but it didn't feel 100%. it has happened at least 10-15 times in the last year. When it happens, I can shift the truck into neutral and rev the engine and I'll get my steering back. Also, if I shift into neutral and turn the truck off and back on again, the steering will work. The only time it happens is when I'm slowing down from highway speeds, 55+ mph. It has happened when towing also. This is my father truck, but I use it for the family business.

During U-turn, a curb was traversed by right front tire. After steering came back straight, steering wheel was off center 25 degrees with truck pulling left. An alignment was done to correct that lasted a month. Steering wheel drifted back to 25 degrees off center and truck pulled to left. A second alignment was completed by a different dealer correcting problem for the most part. Vehicle still pulls left and or right on certain roads, with play in steering wheel that cannot be adjusted out. Conclusion is steering box is pretty "light duty" for a Super Duty rated truck. Truck was on second steering gear box with first developing a drifting issue several months after purchase - dealer determined correction could only be made by box replacement. Current miles are 37,600. Fuel prices inhibiting miles.
