This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The passenger side front radius arm bushing failed on my 1995 Ford F-150 resulting in the loss of steering. The vehicle had 74,900 miles at the time of incident. The failure was repaired at courtesy Ford in syracuse at a cost of $549.21. The reason I was given for the failure was rot. I was about to enter an interstate and had this failure occurred then it probably would have resulted in a fatal accident. Since this is a item that is crucial to safety I feel that this item should not have failed. Also, when being repaired, the driver side bracket was also repaired as it was about to fail also.
While driving steering became difficult due to the pitman arm being loose. Did not lose control of vehicle. Occurs at any speed. Vehicle was not in accident. Took dealer, refused to repair due to being out of warranty.
