2011 Ford F-150 complaints

HEATER BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR COMMONLY FAILS PREVENTING DEFROSTER TO OPERATE, VERY COMMON WELL KNOWN PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING AND UNDER NO PARTICULAR COMMON CONDITIONS, THE DASHBOARD, INSTRUMENT GAUGES, INTERIOR LIGHTING, HEADLIGHTS, NAVIGATION PANEL SUDDENLY BEGIN FLASHING AND BLACKING OUT. THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS, COME BACK TO NORMAL, BUT TYPICALLY WITH A "TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE" MESSAGE ON WITH THE TROUBLE LIGHT REMAINING ON. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. ONCE IN A WHILE, IT LASTED LONGER AND CLUNKING NOISES SEEMED TO COME FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN. HOWEVER, A FEW OCCURRENCES WERE WHILE TURNING AND THE POWER STEERING WAS OUT. I TOOK IT TO A BELLE TIRE NEARBY AND THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, SAYING THE DEALER HAD TO UPDATE THE ABS MODULE AND GAVE ME A PRINTOUT OF TSB 12-11-18 [ATTACHED SCAN]. THEY CIRCLED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES C1278 AND C1963 AS THE ONES THAT POPPED UP IN THEIR ANALYSIS. I FIND NO RECALLS OF THIS ITEM, BUT THE STEERING ISSUE IS CERTAINLY DANGEROUS.

WHILE DRIVING, NORMAL CONDITIONS, VEHICLE DROPS FROM HIGHER GEARS TO 1ST GEAR. REAR TIRES LOCKED UP, SPEEDOMETER WENT CRAZY. CHECKED CODE P0720. HAPPENED MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. LATEST INCIDENT, TRANSMISSION MADE HARD SHIFT, SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER AND MPG INDICATOR ALL WENT DEAD AND THE "WRENCH" ICON APPEARED ON THE DASH DISPLAY. READ CODES, CAME UP WITH P0720 AND P0722. AFTER RESTARTING, ALL GAUGES WORKED. VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE WITH CAUTION. RESEARCHED RECALL NOTICES, FOUND 16N02 "MOLDED LEADFRAME EXTENDED WARRANTEE", BUT IT ONLY COVERS F150'S MANUFACTURED ON CERTAIN DATES AT CERTAIN PLANTS. MY TRANSMISSION IS THE SAME TYPE AND MODEL NUMBER....6R80 AS ALL F150 ECOBOOST MADE IN 2011 AND 2012. I CALLED FORD AND THEY STATED MY VIN DID NOT SHOW UP UNDER ANY RECALLS, AND I WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE OF "STIPULATIONS". I CANNOT COMPREHEND THAT FORD WILL ONLY COVER CERTAIN CRITERIA, EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS THE SAME AT ALL MANUFACTURING LOCATIONS. IF A TRANSMISSION MODEL IS FAULTY, IT IS FAULTY REGARDLESS OF WHERE OR WHEN IT WAS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE, AND FIND IT DISTURBING THAT FORD WILL ALLOW THESE VEHICLES TO REMAIN ON THE ROAD WITHOUT THEM FIXING THEM, OR WORSE STILL, PASSING OFF THE COST TO THE OWNERS, MANY OF WHOM CANNOT EASILY FORK OUT THE MONEY OR TIME TO HAVE THEM FIXED AT THEIR EXPENSE. THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURRING ARE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

TAKATA RECALL. THE BRAKES WILL LOCK UP AND WON'T STOP THE TRUCK EVEN WHEN PUSHED IN ALL THE WAY. AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT WILL GO AWAY BUT HAVE STILL ALMOST HIT SEVERAL THINGS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HOPE THAT THIS CAN BE FIXED. THANKS

FOR THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH MY TRUCK DOWNSHIFTING ON ITS OWN. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS GOING 60 MPH AND IT SEEMINGLY WENT FROM 6TH GEAR DOWN TO 1ST OR 2ND MAKING THE TRUCK FEEL LIKE IT HAD HIT SOMETHING AND LOST POWER. IT DIDNT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR A MONTH AND A HALF AND NOW HAPPENS MORE AND MORE OFTEN. DIAGNOSTICS SHOW IT MAY BE A OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR ISSUE. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAID THERE WAS INDEED A RECALL BUT MINE WAS FROM THE WRONG FACTORY AND WAS NOT INCLUDED. SAME ISSUE AS EVERYONE ELSE, BUT MY FACTORY DIDN'T GET INCLUDED? CONVENIENT FOR FORD, IT SEEMS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND NO ONE REALLY WANTS TO TAKE IT ON, IT SEEMS... GO SEE A TRANSMISSION SHOP ONE GUY SAYS... FRUSTRATING AND RATHER SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I AM WONDERING IF MORE TRUCKS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. TSB 13-6-8. ?

BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE. SCREEN WENT BLANK TO INDICATE GEAR. VERY LOUD NOISE WHEN IT FINALLY SHIFTED INTO GEAR AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. DEALER REPAIRED AND SAID IT WOULD BE UNDER RECALL. IT TOOK A COUPLE OF MONTHS TO GET PARTS AND DEALER SAID NOT TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A LOUD THUMPING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE REAR SLIDING WINDSHIELD FRACTURED. JACKY JONES FORD LINCOLN, INC. (714 NEW HIGHWAY 68, SWEETWATER, TENNESSEE, (423) 337-5066) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DISCLOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 157,882.

WHILE DRIVING 60MPH ON THE INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR CAUSING THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP AND SEND IT INTO AN UNCONTROLABLE SKID.

BAD TRANSMISSION LEADFRAME ASSEMBLY AS PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED BY FORD IN A RECALL CAUSING VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER AT 65MPH REQUIRING VEHICLE TO BE STOPPED AND RESTARTED; FORD HAS IDENTIFIED ISSUE AS 16V-248 BUT TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE MISSED THE CAMPAIGN AS MY VEHICLE BUILD DATE WAS 11 DAYS PRIOR TO THEIR RECALL DATES; HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT AT SAME PLANT (DEARBORN) AND HAD SAME IDENTICAL ERROR CODES FOR PROBLEM; FORD REP AT 866-436-7332 TOLD ME THAT ALTHOUGH PROBLEM SEEMS THE SAME NOTHING CAN BE COVERED; TO RESOLVE COST ME $751.27. ALWAYS OCCURRED WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED AND THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC.

EVIDENTLY AS YOU ALL ARE PROBABLY AWARE, THE 2011 F-150 6R80 TRANSMISSION WAS RECALLED ON A LOT OF TRUCKS. THE SPEED SENSOR OR TRANS RANGE SENSOR OR LEAD FRAME IS WAS/BAD SO A SATISFACTION PROGRAM WAS INITIALLY MADE 'ONE FREE LEAD FRAME' OFFERED FOR UNDER 10 YEARS OR 150K MILES . NOW THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY TRUCK BUT A. IT'S 2011 B. IT WAS PRODUCED FROM THE KANSAS PLANT, ONE OF TWO PLANTS WHICH INITIATED THE RECALL. C. THE INFAMOUS P0705 CODE IS READING. PRETTY MUCH WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS MY HEAD ACHE OF A TRUCK DESERVES A RECALL EVALUATION, AT THE VERY LEAST A NEW LEAD FRAME PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP. I THINK MY TRUCK SLIPPED THROUGH THE CRACKS AND IT NEEDS FIXING! BY THE WAY THIS CAUSES MY TRUCK TO DROP TO LOW GEARS(INNAPROPRIATE GEARS) AT HIGH SPEEDS AND CAUSES IT TO NOT WORK AT ALL AT TIMES!!!

BF GOODRICH BF15L3110317 TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. ON THE WAY TO WORK ON 11/05/18 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I SUDDENLY HEARD A RUMBLING SOUND COMING FROM THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE GUARD RAIL ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKY FOR ME, NO OTHER CAR WAS BESIDE ME WHEN I HAD TO PULL OVER SO QUICKLY BEFORE CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK OR ANYONE ELSE. I TOOK THE TIRE BACK TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND ASKED IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY RECALLS ON THAT SET OF TIRES PURCHASED IN 2017. THE SALES REPRESENTATIVE STATED NOTHING LISTED, BUT STRANGELY THE TIRE HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED FOR SALES. CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND GAVE THEM ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND AWAITING CAR CARE CENTER TO CONTACT THEM WITH ALL THE DETAILS. HOPEFULLY THIS IS NOT A TREND WHERE OTHER CONSUMERS ARE AT RISK.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 F150 I GOT OF I99 AT THE TYRONE EXIT. WHILE SLOWING TO A STOP AT ABOUT 35 MPH THE TRUCK SHIFTED FROM 5THGEAR TO 1ST WHICH CAUSE THE WHEELS TO SQUAWK AND SLIDE ALMOST CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL, I PULLED OVER IN THE BK PARKING LOT SHUT IT OFF AN RESTARTED ONCE I PUT IT IN GEAR TO DRIVE IT SHOWED I WAS IN 5TH GEAR SO I SHUT IT OFF AGAIN WAITED A FEW MINUTES S TD STARTED IT AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT WAS IN 3RD SO I REPEATED. THE NEXT TIME IT WAS IN FIRST SO I DROVE HOME THE BACK ROADS TO BE SAFE AS I GOT UP TO SPEED IT STARTED TO ACT UP AGAIN THE SPEEDOMETER SHOW I WAS GOING 0MPH BUT I WAS GOING 25MPH AGAIN THE TRUCK SLAMMED IN AN OUT OF GEAR I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEAL THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A LEAD FRAME HOPE THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM AS I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. I DO HAVE VIDEOS OF WHEN ITS ACTING UP BUT I CANT FIGURE OUT HOW TO UPLOAD THEM.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

STEERING BINDS WHEN TURNING, BOTH WHEN GOING INTO A TURN AND RETURNING TO CENTER (STRAIGHT). MOST NOTICEABLE ON CITY STREETS. I MUST USE EXTRA ARM STRENGTH IN BOTH MANEUVERS. PROBLEM FIRST NOTICED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE SINCE. COLD WEATHER (WISCONSIN) SEEMS TO EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE SRS LIGHT ON SEVEN TIMES AND REPAIRED. SEAT BELTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND PARTIAL WIRING HARNESS REPLACEMENT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE 2015.

VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS WHILE DRIVING ABRUPTLY AND WITHOUT CAUSE. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY AND CITY SPEEDS AS WELL AS WITH AND WITHOUT A TRAILER IN TOW. THE FRONT END STILL IS ALL OVER THE ROAD, FOLLOWING TIRE REPLACEMENT, BRAKE REPLACEMENT AND ALIGNMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO THE REVERSE POSITION AS THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO INDICATE THE REVERSE POSITION.

KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION. SHIFTER INTERLOCK SWITCH IS BROKEN SO IGNITION SWITCH DOES NOT RECOGNIZE IT BEING IN PARK TO RELEASE THE KEY.

VEHICLE LOSES POWER STEERING CAN'T TURN THE WHEEL TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON BUT IT HAPPENS SO FAST AND YOU NEED TWO GROWN MEN TO TRY TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL JUST TO GET OFF OF ROAD TO SAFETY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO THE WRONG GEAR AND LOST POWER. AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED AN ELECTRONIC SENSOR INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

TRUCK WILL BE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 50 MPH OR HIGHER, AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL WAVE BACK AND FORTH AND DROP TO 0. TRANSMISSION TRIES TO COMPENSATE AND DOWNSHIFTS DRASTICALLY CAUSING A VERY HARD SHIFT AND SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC. THEN THE SPEEDOMETER WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL SPEED. VERY EASILY COULD BE REAR-ENDED IN A HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATION. HAVE TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS OVER THE LAST MONTH WHO SAY THE SAME THING, THAT IT SHOULD RECEIVE A MOLDED LEADFRAME REPLACEMENT, BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL (16N02). MY VIN MATCHES THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, MANUFACTURING PLANT, AND MANUFACTURING DATES WITH THE RECALL. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE MAY BE DIFFERENT PARTS, BUT IT IS MY FIRM BELIEF THAT SOME VEHICLES WERE LEFT OUT OF THE RECALL. EVEN WHEN FORD EMPLOYEES ARE SAYING THE FIX IS THE SAME AS THOSE ISSUED IN THE RECALL. VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE, AND TO CHARGE SOMEONE $1,800 WHEN IT SHOULD BE REPLACED FOR FREE, IS BEYOND SAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN STARTED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. AS A RESULT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS INOPERABLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED.

SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC. STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHEN MAKING TURN LIGHT CAME ON. LOOSES TURN SIGNAL AND STEERING.

STEERING STARTED STICKING WHEN TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT AND WHILE DRIVING YOU COULD FEEL IT COME AND GO! TOOK IT TO REPAIR SHOP AND HAD A WHOLE NEW ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM INSTALLED COST A LITTLE OVER 1700$

I WAS DRIVING WHEN I LOOKED IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE BACK WINDOW. BEFORE I COULD PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. THE CASING AROUND THE WINDOW HAD BEGAN MELTING AND WAS DRIPPING DOWN THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAB. REAR DEFROSTER WAS ON AND NOTHING IMPACTED THE WINDOW

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED MY TIRES WEARING ON THE OUTSIDES AFTER GETTING AN ALIGNMENT DONE IT STILL CONTINUES. AFTER TAKING IT TO A SHOP AND THEM NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM, THE NOTED THAT THE RACK AND PINION BOLT WAS WORN OUT AND THEY CAN'T REPLACE IT WITHOUT REPLACING THE WHOLE STEERING ASSEMBLY

EXCLUDED FROM RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION LEADFRAME. THIS VEHICLE DANGEROUSLY SHIFTS ABRUPTLY TO A LOWER GEAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM IN A SLOW CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND NEEDED TO BACK UP. THIS TK SHOULD OF BEEN IN RECALL. SAME SR80 TRANS AS ONES RECALLED.

10 MILES FROM MY DESTINATION,PS WENT OUT. IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER. I WAS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY (US 290) FROM CHANNELVIEW ,TX TO WALLER,TX AND BACK I HAVE A 2011 FORD F-150 XL 5.0 L / 8 CYL / FLEX FUEL 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC (ELECTRONIC) FUEL INJECTION AFTER ABOUT 45 MINUTES PARKED AND TURNED OFF,IT WORKED FINE. I DECIDED TO GO HOME,60 MILES. 30 MILES IT WORKED FINE THEN WENT OUT AGAIN.

LEAK DEVELOPED BEHIND THE A/C COMPRESSOR THROUGH THE FIREWALL CAUSING A BUILDUP OF WATER UNDER THE FLOORBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DESTROYING THE RUGS. LEAK HAD TO BE FIXED AND RUGS ALL REPLACED DUE TO MOLD ANDREW MILDEW. HAPPENED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME WHEN THE A/C WAS RUNNING.

CAR WOULD BE DRIVING NORMAL, AND SPEEDOMETER WOULD DROP OFF, DROPPING TO 0 MPH. UPON WHICH TIME, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD TRY AND COMPENSATE, AND DOWNSHIFT HARD TO MATCH THE SPEED. SPEEDOMETER WOULD THEN GO BACK UP TO NORMAL SPEED AND TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT BACK. MATCHES IDENTICAL ISSUES WITH 16N02, BUT MY VIN (DESPITE BEING THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, AND MANUFACTURED DURING THE SAME TIME FRAME AND AT THE SAME PLANT AS THE OTHERS) DID NOT SHOW THIS AS A RECALL.

AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT, AND TURNING ON THE TRUCK THE VACUUM PUMP IS EXTREMELY LOUD. IF DRIVING THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY THE BRAKES WILL NOT WORK UNLESS PUSHED VERY HARD. AFTER ABOUT 3 MINUTES THE SOUND DIMINISHES AND THE BRAKES WORK ADEQUATELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED ENTIRE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WENT OUT. UPDATED 11/19/18*JB

WET ROADS DOING 45 TO 50 MPH AND IN A FLASH TRUCK DECIDED TO GO ABOUT 5 MPH TRUCK WENT SIDEWAYS INTO THE ON COMING TRAFFIC LANES THEN THE TRUCK WENT ONLY 5 MPH AND I HAD A COMPUTER CHECK ON IT AND SAID THE 6R80 TRANSMISSION IS BAD AND FORD HAS A RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION 2011/2012 BUT NOT MY TRUCK IT WAS BUILT IN NOV 10 2010 BUT IT THE SAME PROBLEM EVERYONE ELSE IS HAVING AND IT DANGEROUS

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK WILL SHUT DOWN NO POWER, THIS HAPPENS MAINLY WHILE ITS RAINING AT FIRST NOW ITS STARTING TO DO THIS MORE OFTEN. THE BCM IS LOCATED IN AN AREA THAT WHEN IT RAINS THE WATER HAS SHORTED THE BCM AND NOW I AM HAVING THE TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND OR NOT START. I HAVE BEEN TO FORD SEVERAL TIMES AND THEYRE STATING THERE IS NO RECALL DUE TO THIS. I HAVE HEARD THE SAME COMPLAINT FROM OTHER F150 OWNER WHOSE BCM IS IN THE SANE EXACT SPOT AS MINE. FORD IS NOT WILLING TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM BUT CHARGE SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE PARTS AND DIAGNOSTING TEST TO ONLY NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUES.

AFTER THE AIR CONDITIONING IS ON WHILE CAR IS IN PARK AND IDLING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, THE STEERING POWER ASSIST IS LOST, ESPECIALLY ON LEFT HAND TURNS. SO IF I TURN LEFT, THE STEERING WHEEL MUST BE MANUALLY TURNED BACK TO STRAIGHT OR THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO TURN LEFT. AFTER THE TURN, IF MY HANDS WERE NOT ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND MANUALLY STEERING THE CAR BACK TO STRAIGHT, THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TURNING INTO OPPOSING TRAFFIC. ON A WINDY ROAD, THE TRUCK WILL CONTINUE TO GO IN THE DIRECTION OF THE TURN AND NOT RETURN TO THE STRAIGHT AHEAD TRACK WITHOUT MANUALLY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. IT IS A VERY SCARY SCARY SITUATION. THE NEXT DAY MORNING AFTER COOLING OFF ALL IS GOOD. THIS HAPPENS BOTH ON THE HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREETS ONCE IT OVERHEATS SOME COMPONENT.

DRIVING 80 MPH ON TOLL ROAD SERVICE LIGHT COME ON FOR A SECOND AND WENT OFF DROPPED INTO 5TH GEAR TRUCK SPEEDOMETER READ 0 MPH PULLED OVER TURNED OFF TRUCK STARTED BACK UP RAN FINE UNTIL I GOT HOME
