Consumer Description

TWICE IN ONE WEEK THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE POWER STEERING FAILURE, SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK LIGHT CAME ON AND THE STEERING WAS DIFFICULT. FORD DEALER IS POSSIBLY GOING TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY, THEY ARE WAITING ON AN OK EMAIL SINCE THE CODE THAT THEY FOUND IS DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE THEY ARE "FAMILIAR" WITH. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED WAS WITH MY SON WHO HAS A LEARNERS PERMIT. VERY SCARY FOR A FIRST TIME DRIVER IN A NOT EVEN 2 YR OLD VEHICLE! *TT
