NHTSA Complaint #10421413 — 2012 FORD FOCUS

IN MY BRAND NEW 2012 FORD FOCUS WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH IT IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO KEEP THE CAR IN IT'S LANE WITHOUT CONSTANT ADJUSTMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE BEING BUFFETED BY STRONG WINDS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE FASTER THAN 60MPH DUE TO THE FACT THE VEHICLE ACTS LIKE A SNAKE GOING BACK AND FORTH SO MUCH. I'M NOT ALONE IN THIS, THE ONLINE FORD FOCUS COMMUNITY "FOCUSFANATICS.COM" HAS REPORTED MANY CASES OF THIS OCCURRING. THE THREAD OF COMPLAINTS IS HERE HTTP://WWW.FOCUSFANATICS.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=261200 THE SOLUTION APPEARS TO BE HAVING THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING RACK REPLACED. I'M WORRIED A PROBLEM SUCH AS THIS COULD CAUSE A SEVERE ACCIDENT IF SOMEONE ISN'T EXPECTING TO FIGHT WITH THEIR STEERING WHEEL. I ALMOST HIT A CAR ADJACENT TO ME BECAUSE OF THIS. IF HE HADN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN BAD. I REALIZE YOU ARE VERY BUSY BUT I SINCERELY HOPE YOU TAKE THE TIME TO REVIEW THIS ISSUE AND THE THREAD I POSTED IN ORDER TO PREVENT POSSIBLE INJURY'S OR DEATHS IN THE FUTURE. IT WOULD BE TO THE BENEFIT OF MANY IF FORD WERE TO RECALL AND FIX AFFECTED MODELS. *TR
