What owners wrote
Regarding 2004 ford f150 4x4 pickup: several months ago I experienced steering problems. Our local dealer fixed a problem with the front brakes. He stated that they have had a number of 2004 4x4 pickups with the same problem, though there has been no recall. Last week the vehicle crashed, which resulted in serious injuries (multiple head fractures) to my wife, and the vehicle being totaled. I was driving on a straight two-lane country road, up a slight graded. Suddenly the vehicle turned sharply to the left.
I was getting into my truck and when I was about to start my truck and leave my airbag deployed in my face my arm also hit my face an d I bruised up right away and swollen, I called a tow truck my insurance had my truck towed to the ford dealership, they told me they will not be able to take care of damages unless I pay them out of my pocket they did tell me there was a recall on my truck for the air bag deploying on there own, next day ford motor company told me they could not help me as well because they claim…
