Reported on June 05, 2013
| DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT STEERING WITHOUT WARNING BECAME EXTREMELY HEAVY AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER ALMOST RESULTING IN A HEAD ON CRASH. POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. THE STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LIVERMORE CA FORD DEALER. THEY SAID THEY FOUND THE FAULT CODES BUT COULD NOT VERIFY ANYTHING WAS WRONG OR DUPLICATE THE EVENT. SO THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T FIX ANYTHING PER FORD'S INSTRUCTIONS. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND TONS OF COMPLAINTS CAME UP ON EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. MANY HAD THE ENTIRE STEERING SYSTEM REPLACED. DEALERSHIP IGNORED THIS WHEN I SENT IT TO THEM. *TR | |
