Owner report 11112278 · 2018-07-18 (July 18, 2018)
AFTER A YEAR OF THE BATTERY DRAINING EVERY FEW DAYS AND MANY MONTHS IN SERVICE, A FORD SERVICE CENTER FOUND A SEVERELY RUSTED STEERING COLUMN INSIDE THE RV. THE VEHICLE WAS THEREFORE NOT GOING FULLY INTO PARK. (I AM ENTERING MARCH 1, 2018 AS THE DATE, BUT WE WERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY FROM MARCH 2017-OCTOBER 2017 EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM.)

Owner report 11673149 · 2025-07-13 (July 13, 2025)
The drivers seat is 3-6 inches to the right of the steering wheel causing hard steering/handling at times (curves). No accidents involved. Our first long drive with this vehicle. The issue does not sound like a big deal but the drivability is definitely a problem. In my opinion.
