1999 Ford F-150 steering complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 50 of 50, newest first, as owners wrote them.
We could hear and feel a "clunking" through the steering wheel. Took the truck to the dealer to have it checked. Found that the lower steering shaft was broken and was advised to stop driving the vehicle until it could be repaired. Was also told by the service manager that this problem was fairly common with the f150 and in fact they had the required part to fix it in stock. This truck is only two years old and has never been driven off-road or involved in any type of accident. I am very concerned that this type of failure could occur, and apparantly is not uncommon. The break was apparantly in a "knuckle" in the steering shaft, which is why we could still steer the vehicle at all.
While traveling and without any indication vehicle stalled. Engine check light came on, and steering wheel locked up. Please provide further information.
The steering geometry and suspension travel lend the vehicle to excessive over steer resulting in loss of control. Yh
Was going 65mph when the steering got real stiff. Was hard to turn. Had come to a stop. Unable to turn steering to turn wheels. Master clutch slave cylinder had very little resistance on the clutch when the pedal was pressed. When the vehicle is cold it can happen. Vehicle is very difficult to shift into another gear. Will be taking vehicle to dealer.
While driving on wet road conditions vehicle loses all steering power. Making steering extremely difficult. The problem was reported to the manufactue/dealership. The problem has not been adressed. Please provide any further information.
Lost control of vehicle while driving 45-50mph on rain slick roads. Vehicle hit a pole, head on, on side of road & neither air bags deployed upon impact. Driver hit head on steering wheel. Had emergency treatment.
Consumer was driving approximately 35-45 MPH when another vehicle pulled out. Consumer swerved/lost control and ran into a yard, hitting a big tree. Shoulder seat belt strap did not lock. Consumer's chest hit steering as steering wheel broke down and went into the dashboard. Consumer's head hit the windshield and cracked it. Pictures are available. Ak
The steering on my 1999 ford f150 supercab (lariet model) will not come back to centering. When I slightly turn the wheel to the left or right it just keeps on going in that direction. I have had this in the dealer for them to look at and they admit there is a problem so thay contacted the ford engineer and was told they all do the same on the 1999 f150 pick-ups with supercab and v-8 engine. It seems to be only on this suspension on this model. I have driven others and they do the same. This is a very serious steering problem. I almost was involved in an accident on snow covered roads due to this problem. This vehicle and others I drove of the same style from the dealer were all the same. I would appreciate an investigation on this very serious steering problem. This vehicle just will not go down the road straight without forcefully turning the steering wheel back to center to constantly correct it.
While driving at 10 MPH and pulling into the driveway steering started working intermittently, and the consumer could'nt turn the steering wheel the way he was turning.
