Owner report 11445045 · 2021-12-27 (December 27, 2021)
Without warning my brakes and steering failed on a Freedom Elite RV on a Ford Motor chassis. The vehicle only had 2396 miles on it at the time of occurrence. It turned out to be a pressure hose that broke. Luckily I was in a residential neighborhood with no traffic and driving very slowly when it happened. I shudder to think what would have happened on a hill or in traffic.

Owner report 11465411 · 2022-05-20 (May 20, 2022)
I've had trailer brakes and lights not working off and on with my 2022 F350. They're aware of it and sent a recall. I went to have the recall performed this morning and the dealer told me that the "fix" for the recall also doesn't work and that they'll call me when the "new fix" is ready. Meanwhile, I'm getting into towing season and I'll be towing a large trailer across the country repeatedly with trailer brakes that might work or might not.

Owner report 11488723 · 2022-10-11 (October 11, 2022)
During early morning hours (approx. 2 am) of 10/09/22, while traveling westbound on I-70 through Utah at posted speed (80 mph) I hit a series of road repairs (patches) while in the right-hand lane, with the driver-side (left) front wheel. The front end of the vehicle shook violently, leaving limited control of steering which resulted in the vehicle drifting quickly into the passing (left hand) lane. Fortunately, no one was in the passing lane and control was regained, but only after rapid deceleration through hard braking. The incident was f…
