What owners wrote
June 25, 2007, we were in montana and had just come down from approx. 14,000 ft. Pass, closed sun roof on our 2008 ford f350 crewcab diesel, all 4 occupants (3 adults & 1 child) fell asleep @ 2:00 pm in the afternoon. Passenger woke as we were going off the pavement, tried to put truck back on pavement but front of truck would not get under control, hit mail boxes and veered to left (still unable to control) not speeding, hit head on into trees, rolled to roof.
I'm the owner of a 2008 ford pickup truck model f-350. The truck was taking servo times to a dealer to have the problem fixed. We are having problems with the steering wheel that it locks by itself you want to turn left and the car goes right or straight and you loose the control I almost got killed .the dealer sad that they cant seen to fix the problem one dealer sad that he replaced the gear box but never did.
