What owners wrote
Making a left hand turn the steering failed causing the truck to run into a pole. The truck is being repaired using a much stronger steering box by my ford dealer. This is being paid for by my insurance co. Even thow the truck has only 26000 miles on it and is under factory warrenty. I will get the undersize broken steering box. The truck has the original suspension,wheels,and tires it came with. Thanks ford.
Tl*the contact owns 2005 ford f350 superduty. While driving approximately 65 to 75 MPH, he hit a bump in the road and the vehicle proceeded to shake violently causing him to almost lose control of the vehicle. He was able to regain control of the vehicle when the speed decreased to 30 MPH. An independent mechanic was unable to diagnose the failure. The mechanic stated that nothing was wrong with the vehicle. He contact notified the manufacturer; however, they have not responded.
