Claim number 11-3548-745 - while in stop and go traffic in the far right lane, vehicle 1 was traveling immediately behind vehicle 2, as vehicle 2 stopped for traffic, vehicle 1 attempted to change lanes, when suddenly the steering would not respond, causing vehicle 1 to collide with rear right side of vehicle 2, injuries were a result of impact.
On september 30, 2005 I emailed ford my concern with the power steering hose failure on my 2000 f350 truck ([xxx], 153,440 km). I subsequently spoke to their customer service representative, and to the supervisor in that department, and could not believe the run-around I received regarding my concern. They claimed they had no access to performance records on vehicles and could not comment on my concern. They simply tried to bounce me back to the dealer, with whom I had already discussed my concern.
