2000 Ford F-350 SD complaints

STEERING ON MY TRUCK WAS FINE FOR THE FIFST 35,000 MILES AND THEN LOST ALL POWER STEERING WHEN STOPPED WITH FOOT ON BRAKE OR OFF THE BRAKE. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO THE FORD DEALOR AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A NORMAL WAY FOR THIS SYSTEM TO WORK AND LIVE WITH IT,I CALLED FORD MOTER COMPANY AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFTEY PROBLEM AS WHEN OFF ROAD YOU CANT GET THE TRUCK TO TURN IF THERE IS ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS AND YOU MUST TRY TO TURN AT LOW SPEED OR NO SPEED. IF IT IS ICY ON THE ROAD OR EVEN ON DRY PAVEMENT IF YOU APPLY THE BRAKES AND TRY TO STEAR OUT OF A SKID SAY TO AVOID A CRASH YOU CANT GET THE TRUCK TO TURN DUE TO YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE.YOU CANT TURN IN SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOTS TO GET INTO PARKING SPACES DUE TO THE STEERING PROBLEM. AND SHAME ON FORD FOR SELLING THESE TRUCKS THAT THEY KNOW HAVE THIS SITUATION (BULLITON 15446) AND NOT TELLING THE CONSUMER THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THESUPER DUTY F-SERIES AND THE EXCURSION AND LEADING YOU TO BELIEVE THAT THE TRUCK WILL FUNCTION AS WEEL AT 5 MILES AS IT WILL AT 40,000 MILES. THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND TO DISCLOSE THE FACTORY BULLITON 15446 TO ALL CONSUMERS LOOKING AT THERE PRODUCT AS IT AFFECTS THE DRIVE ABILITY AND RESALE VALUE OF THE TRUCK. *AK
