"Power steering fluid lines corroded through" I have never seen anything like this truck and have owned a lot of cars going back to 1966." In addition transmission lines have rotted out and connections for ac rotted out. I own two other vehicles and store them the same way with no problems. "I have had to replace power steering lines 5 times over the life of this vehicle. Had to purchase a sway bar link kit to repair the sway bar." "Bushings on sway bar links completely came apart. While in there they found a few other things to warn me about that I should consider in the future (one being the timing belt which I've never replaced on this truck so I consider it a good thing)." I'm told these bushings do commonly age out but the repair at Ford wasn't too salty and it was a fast afternoon fix. "Noticed a light thud of a noise when I'd sometimes steer left. "We have had this truck eight years and this is the third set of Ball Joints to be replaced" "steering was sluggish and labored until the ball joints were repaired" An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year. N/A indicates that we did not receive a large enough sample size to provide data for a specific year. Our subscribers provide great insights into their satisfaction by answering one simple question: If they had it to do all over again, would they definitely buy or lease the same model? In addition, respondents also rate their cars in six categories: driving experience, comfort, value, styling, audio, and climate systems. To learn about satisfaction, CR has collected survey data from our annual survey on more than half a million vehicles. Based on this data and further analysis, we predict reliability for the latest year. Extra weight is given to the more serious areas such as major engine or transmission problems. The results are presented relative to the average model that year. Consumer Reports subscribers reported on any serious problems they had with their vehicles during the past 12 months that they considered serious because of cost, failure, safety, or downtime, in any of the trouble spots included in the table below. The reliability charts are based on responses on hundreds of thousands of vehicles from our latest Annual Auto Survey.
