I PURCHASED USED IN 2012 AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER WITH A VERY WIDE TURNING RADIUS. I'VE DRIVEN OTHER FORDS AT A LOCAL AUCTION HOUSE SAME YEAR/MODEL THAT STEER FINE AND TURN TIGHTER. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN MINE THAT'S DIMINISHING ITS SAFETY AND USABILITY.

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A TWO LANE ROAD IN MY 2008 F250 PICKUP (DIESEL) ON 26 JAN 2016 ABOUT 35 MPH, AND CAME UPON A STOP SIGN. I RELEASED THE GAS PEDAL AND STARTED BRAKING. THE ENGINE STARTED ACCELERATING, EVEN THOUGH I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE (HIGH), SO ALL FOUR TIRES WERE SPINNING FAST, AND KEPT THE VEHICLE MOVING FORWARD. I STOOD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET, AND AFTER GOING SEVERAL FEET INTO THE INTERSECTION, IT FINALLY STOPPED. I QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, AND A FEW SECONDS LATER THE PROBLEM STOPPED. I THEN CONTINUED ON MY WAY. THE VEHICLE HAD 37,062 MILES.
