Steering problem #1

From the day I took it off the lot truck pulls left and right brakes squeak vibration starts at 55mph fills like rear ended is loss truck swerves . I was driving down freeway when rear sliding window blew out from inside of cab out sounding like a gun shot or tire blew up inside the cab and blew glass all over my 4 year old in back seat . I have had this truck into Ford for a number of things but won't fix vibration or the way truck drives down the road.

Power Steering Light On problem #2

While driving the truck down the interstate the reduced engine power light will illuminate and the truck will begin to lose speed and the engine will die, resulting in difficult steering and braking. The Ford dealer has indicated this issue is being caused by water contamination in the fuel, although the water in fuel light has never been on and the dealership not been able to provide any conclusive evidence of water contamination.
