Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND LOST POWER STEERING ADVANCE TRAC WARNING AND SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW WENT ON. SHE WENT INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT. TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER EST COST WAS 2800 DOLLARS FOR NEW RACK FOR STEERING. WAS TOLD THE INTERNALS WERE DAMAGED. NOT HAPPY AND I WASN'T SURE THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. ARGUED WITH THEM AND TOLD THEM THEY WERE WRONG AND REFUSED REPAIR BUT WAS STILL CHARGED A DIAGNOSIS FEE. BROUGHT CAR HOME AND TOOK THE WHEELS OFF AND CLEANED EVERY THING THAT HAS TO DO WITH STEERING AND TRACTION. I NOW HAVE POWER STEERING. BAD DESIGN ON THIS CAR THE SENSORS WILL PICK UP A PROBLEM AND TURN ITEMS OFF TO PROTECT THEM FROM OVERHEATING. I HOPE THIS HELPS OTHERS DON'T TRUST YOUR FORD DEALER THEY WILL TAKE YOU FOR THE MOST EXPENSIVE ITEM. *TR
