| When the tilt steering is tilted down, the turn signals will no longer work. i have a friend who has a 2001 ford expedition who has had the same problem except he also lost his driving lights. when he went to have his vehicle repaired, the serviceman told him that he had just repaired another ford vehicle with the same problem | |||

| I was driving my 2001 ford f-150 supercrew on oct 7 2005. i had finished coming through a sharp 180 degree turn going approximately 10-15 miles an hour. when i straightened the steering wheel the front of the truck began to shake violently. i was able to get the truck stopped in about 100 feet. when i got out i noticed that the passenger side inner tie rod had broken free from the trucks steering rod and was hanging down. i did not wreck the vehicle, but was shaken up as i had my 4 month old and 3 yr old in the truck with me. i did some research and found that ford had issued a letter of inspection that i had not received regarding this issue with the tie rods. the vehicle had to be towed at a cost of $80 and i have to replace the tie rod, but since one failed, i am replacing all the tie rod components, the cost is $164 for parts. i feel that ford needs to recall this vehicle in order to correct the problem. had i been on the highway, traveling at highway speeds we would have rolled the vehicle and possibly been killed, please help. lt dan d'aurora us navy nurse corps. *nm | |||
