While driving on a fairly rough highway I'm AZ, 180A, traveling about 50 mph over bumps and repaired cracks in the pavement, the steering wobbled and shook which did not seem far out of the ordinary on this particular stretch of highway. Suddenly, without warning, the steering failed causing loss of control of the vehicle, the driver was unable to steer the truck which veered off the road and sent us directly into the embankment of a dry wash. The truck hit the embankment head on 50-55 mph. I was riding as passenger of my vehicle since I was 8 months pregnant and experiencing severe heartburn all morning. My fiance drive and 3 of my children were in the back seat. After crashing head on into the dirt wall I was pinned in between the dashboard and seat. I suffered serious life changing injuries as a result. One of the firefighters who arrived in the scene inspected and confirmed the steering was broken. I was sent by helicopter to Flagstaff regional medical center where I spent 10 days

As soon as the truck started, it popped out one of its spark plug. The truck started shaking and made a hollow noise and began to smoke and quickly caught on fire. The fire burned the entire truck.

THE EMERGENCY PARKING BREAK DOES NOT WORK, I DON'T THINK IT EVER HAS. I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED TWICE OVER THE YEARS AND IT QUICKLY QUIT BOTH TIMES. IT FEELS LIKE NORMAL RESISTANCE WHEN YOU PUSH IT IN WITH YOUR FOOT, AND DOES A NORMAL CLUNK AND RELEASE WHEN YOU RELEASE IT, BUT IT DOES NOT AT ALL HOLD THE TRUCK IN PLACE. IT IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION SO IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT FOR THIS TO NOT WORK. AN EXAMPLE, THAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH REGULARLY IS HOOKING UP TO A TRAILER. I NEED TO GET OUT TO SEE HOW CLOSE I AM AND I HAVE TO PUT IT IN GEAR (ONLY REVERSE WILL HOLD IT, THE OTHER GEARS WILL SLIP AND THE TRUCK WILL ROLL) AND TURN IT OFF TO GO LOOK.

ON NOVEMBER 26TH 2017, MY TRUCK STARTED HAVING A SIGNIFICANT MIS-FIRE IN CYLINDER #4. TRAVELLING AT ABOUT 30 MPH ON CITY STREETS; THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE ALTHOUGH DIFFICULT TO LIMP THE VEHICLE HOME AS IT DID NOT ACCELERATE WELL. UPON REMOVING THE SPARK PLUG; IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD THREADS IN THE SPARK PLUG PORT HAVE BEEN DAMAGED. THIS WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN EJECTED SPARK PLUG HAD THE VEHICLE BEEN CONTINUED TO BE OPERATED. SINCE THIS IS THE 3RD DIFFERENT CYLINDER THIS HAS OCCURRED ON WITH NUMEROUS REPORTS FROM MULTIPLE OWNERS OF THE SAME ENGINE DESIGN BY FORD; I HAVE DECIDED TO FILE THIS REPORT. THIS IS THE 2ND REPORT I HAVE FILED WITH THE NHTSA. THE FIRST REPORT I FILED WAS BECAUSE THE 2ND TIME THIS OCCURRED; A SPARK PLUG EJECTED FROM THE #3 CYLINDER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN SPEED IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. THAT OCCURRENCE ALSO CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION AND HAD TO BE PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY. EVEN TH
