| My ford dealer reports that a squirrel chewed through the (plastic) fuel line of my 2011 ford f 150, leaking gas, resulting in a pool of fuel on the top/exterior of the fuel tank. ostensibly the squirrel also chewed, but did not chew through the wall of the tank itself. thank you for your attention to this matter. | |||
| STEERING | |||
| 06/18/2011 | 20 | ||
| This vehicle, a 2011 e-150 ford van wagon has power assisted steering. same problems experienced to a lesser degree reported in 2 complaints filed on the 2010 e-150. steering becomes uncontrollable starting at 50 mph and becomes progressively worse as speed increases to 75 mph. the 2 prior incidences referenced above occurred between 50-75 mph. any slight adjustments by driver, especially at 70 mph, creates sway conducive to rollover. it seems as if the power assist interferes with driver's control of steering wheel. at higher speeds, over-steer is created and when the driver makes a correction, a swaying effect is created. as speed increases, the power assist function is supposed to diminish, giving driver full control. technicians at dealership confirmed above symptoms and stated an engineering problem because alignment was according to specs. first occurrence was when there was only 60 miles on the odometer. thereafter what is described occurred every time in the range between 55-75 mph. steering and handling is extremely dangerous at speeds above 55 mph. | |||
