Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MPH IRONICALLY HEADED TO AN AUTO STORE WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE WARNING SAID "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" AND "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW." I HAD MY WIFE AND KIDS WITH ME AT THE TIME, AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME BECAUSE THE WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO TURN THAT MY WIFE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TURN IT. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE SHOP WHERE ONLY A FORD MECHANIC CAN ORDER THE PART TO THE PRICE OF $1,300 NOT INCLUDING LABOR. I THOUGHT I WAS BUYING A RELIABLE CAR BUT I WAS WRONG. WHAT CAR'S POWER STEERING GOES OUT SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY DOES AND HAS TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE ONLY A FORD MECHANIC CAN FIX IT? A FORD FUSION. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WANTED MORE MONEY AND MADE A CHEAP CAR THAT WOULD BREAK DOWN SO YOU HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THEM. *TR
