Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Filed May 3, 2001

ALL THE REPLACEMENT STEERING BOXES ARE ALSO WORN OUT. THAT WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM BUT FORD DOESN'T SUPPLY THE PARTS AND SO FAR, IT SEEMS NO ONE ELSE DOES EITHER. REMANUFACTURERS OF THE STEERING BOXES DON'T HAVE ACCESS THE "OBSOLETE PARTS" EITHER. THE PART NUMBER THAT IS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR TO THE TWO STEERING BOXES I HAVE IS C5AZ-3576-A, TWO OF THEM FOR EACH BOX. THIS IS AN INSIDIOUS DEFECT BEING IGNORED BY FORD AND F SERIES OWNERS ALIKE. AFTER DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM, THE USUAL RESPONSE INCUDES "BRAGGING" ABOUT HOW LOOSE THEIR STEERING IS. :-) WHAT DO YOU THINK? THE ONLY PLAY IN MY STEERING SYSTEM IS IN A SIDE TO SIDE MOTION OF THE SECTOR SHAFT. THE TIEROD ENDS, KINGPIN BEARINGS, WHEEL BEARINGS, STEERING COLUMN UPPER AND LOWER BEARINGS, THE FLEX COUPLING ARE NOT THE SOURCE OF THE PLAY I'M DESCRIBING.*AK

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
