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.

THE FORCE OF THE WIND OVER THE HOOD DIRECTS THE STREAM OF WASHER FLUID FROM THE WASHERS TO A PLACE BELOW THE WIPER BLADES DUE TO DESIGN.

AT HIGHWAY SPEED (55 MPH) THE WIND OVER THE HOOD DIRECTS THE STREAM OF FLUID FROM THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS TO LAND BELOW THE WIPER BLADES, CAUSING IT TO BECOME COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE. THE DEALER INFORMS ME THAT THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM FOR WHICH THERE IS NO REPAIR. *AK
