Consumer Description

I OWN A 2005 FORD TAURUS SE WAGON WITH 33K MILES. WHILE DRIVING THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH, I BEGAN TO EASE OVER INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN MOVE BACK INTO THE LEFT LANE WHICH SENT MY FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL INTO A MAJOR OSCILLATION WHICH I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCE IN A CAR BEFORE. I DON'T SEE ANY RECALLS FROM FORD ON THIS ISSUE BUT WONDERING IF YOU MAY HAVE RECEIVED ANY SIMILAR ACCOUNTS BY OTHER OWNERS. NO TELLING WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD THIS OCCURRED DURING WINTER DRIVING OR WET ROADS. ALSO, IT HAPPENED ORIGINALLY WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH A SIMILAR REQUIREMENT TO DO A SUDDEN CORRECTION BUT IN THIS CASE SHE WAS TRAVELING LESS THAN 40 MILES AN HOUR ON A CITY STREET WHEN AGAIN THE FRONT END WENT INTO A MAJOR OSCILLATION AND DIFFICULT TO BRING BACK UNDER CONTROL AND THE CAR BACK TO CENTER. PLEASE ADVISE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *TR
