Consumer Description

THIS CAR WAS JUST PURCHASED. PARKED CAR IN DRIVEWAY AND THE NEXT MORNING MY WIFE COULD NOT START THE CAR. I CALLED SELLER AND HE SAID TO 'WIGGLE" STEERING WHEEL AND CAR WOULD START.WIFE COULD NOT ACCOMPLISH THIS FEAT. I TRIED AND WITH MUCH FORCE GOT THE WHEEL TO MOVE AND THEN CAR STARTED. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE IN STEERING WHEEL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A REAL POOR DESIGN. I AM TAKING THE CAR TO : LOCKSMITH AND THEN FORD DEALER TO SEE WHAT THE "FIX" ACTUALLY IS. HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND OTHERS. *TR
