2010 Ford F-150

I OWN A 2010 FORD F-150 FX4 4X4 5.4L PICK UP. THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT WAS BINDING UP, CAUSING A HEAVY STEERING CONDITION, STEERING NOT RETURNING TO CENTER AFTER TURNING AND A BINDING CONDITION. THE PART WAS REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 36K MILES BY WASHINGTON FORD IN WASHINGTON PA. APPROX 2 YEARS HAVE PASSED AND AT 63K MILES EXPERIENCING THE SAME CONDITIONS WITH FORD REPLACEMENT PART. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO WASHINGTON FORD IN WASHINGTON, PA FOR DIAGNOSIS ON 5/4/17. SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT DETECT OR DIAGNOSE AN ISSUE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR CENTER ON 5/16/17 WHERE TECH DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A BINDING ISSUE WITH THE REPLACEMENT PART. AN AFTER MARKET PART HAS BEEN ORDERED FOR REPLACEMENT. AFTER A LONG SEARCH AT LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIPS FOR THE PART IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A NUMBER OF FORD PARTS DEALERS AS WELL AS BIG BOX PARTS HOUSES HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ON BACK ORDER. WOLTZ AND WIND FORD IN CARNEGIE WAS REPORTING TO ME A 40 QUANTITY BACK ORDER FOR THE PART. MANY COMPLAINTS OBSERVED ONLINE. APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN WITH NUMEROUS OWNERS ONLINE. PLEASE ADVISE. STOCK IMAGE ATTACHED THANK YOU

NOTICED ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR ON FRONT TIRES. TOOK VEHICLE TO SHOP TO HAVE TIRES ROTATED AND ALIGNMENT CHECKED. A SAFETY CHECK REVEALED BOTH FRONT COIL SPRINGS WERE BROKEN.(SEE PHOTOS) FRACTURE OCCURRED AT THE TRANSITION FROM TIGHT RADIUS (PIGTAIL) AT THE BOTTOM, TO LARGER RADIUS. THE SPRING THEN BOWED OUT OF COLUMN AND STARTED RUBBING THE STRUT BODY. VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY HAD A SAFETY CHECK AT THE SAME SHOP AT 47726 MILES ON 1-20-2016 WITH NO SPRING DEFECT NOTED. DEFECT WAS NOTED AT 60800 MILES ON 4-13-17. REPORT GENERATED BY ORIGINAL OWNER. LEFT SPRING FAILURE WAS NOT NOTICED BUT RIGHT FAILURE MAY HAVE OCCURRED WHEN ENCOUNTERING NORMAL POTHOLE THAT CREATED A STARTLING BANG NOT COMMENSURATE WITH THE DEPTH OF THE STREET DEFECT. OWNER DID NOT NOTICE ANY STEERING WHEEL DISPLACEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH A WHEEL MISALIGNMENT. OWNERS CONCERNS. 1) VEHICLE WAS LESS THAT 7 YEARS IN SERVICE LESS THAT 61000 MILES. 2) ESSENTIALLY A SILENT FAILURE, FIRST CLUE WAS ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR. 3) MODE OF FAILURE COULD ALLOW SPRING TO PASS OVER PERCH CAUSING SUDDEN COMPLETE COLLAPSE OF THAT CORNER SUSPENSION. 4) IF SPRING REMAINS IN PLACE, RUBBING ON STRUT BODY WILL CAUSE FAILURE OF THE STRUT ITSELF AFFECTING HANDLING. PICTURES ARE OF RT. STRUT ASSEMBLY. LT STRUT WAS DISCARDED BEFORE DECISION TO REPORT WAS MADE BUT HAD SIMILAR FAILURE,

FUEL PUMP RELAY FUSE MELTED. 2010 F-150 2 WD V8, WAS DRIVING AND PULLING A TRAILER (WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S PARAMETERS WEIGHT WISE, I.E. NOT OVERLOADED, AND IN FACT IT CONTINUED WITH THE EMPTY TRAILER) AND THE TRUCK BEGAN STALLING RANDOMLY, USUALLY WHEN GOING UP A HILL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I WAS HAULING VALUABLE HORSES UP HILLY ROADS AT THE TIME. I HAD IT REPAIRED AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP (CRAIN FORD, LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS 501-570-3737) WHICH INVOLVED MOVING THE FUSE TO A DIFFERENT SPOT. IT SEEMS TO BE ACTING UP AGAIN AFTER LESS THAN A WEEK. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY TO "FIX" IT AND IT NEEDS TO STAY FIXED!
