The contact owns a 1997 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle would kick in and out of 4-wheel drive. While driving less than 55 mph, the steering wheel became stiff and the 4-wheel drive became inoperable. The 4-wheel drive warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The dealer could not duplicate the failures. On a separate occasion, the failure recurred. The dealer advised the contact not to shut off the engine. They replaced unknown modules in the transmission at the cost of $607. The dealer also installed a new dashboard switch at no cost due to the fact that the vehicle had been there four times with the exact same failures. The current and failure mileages were less than 53,000. Updated 04-24-09 updated 04/27/09.
