Consumer Description

MY WIFE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH AND NOTICED A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. SHE TURNED LEFT INTO THE FIRST PARKING LOT AVAILABLE. WHILE TURNING, SHE HEARD SOMETHING LOOSE AND RATTLING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. SHE THEN PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE. SHE SHOOK THE STEERING WHEEL SIDE TO SIDE AND A LARGE BROKEN BLACK BOLT FELL OUT. AFTER THAT SHE REALIZED THAT THE WHEEL WAS FREE AND FELL OFF INTO HER HANDS. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY SITTING AT A LOCAL FORD DEALER AND IS SCHEDULED TO BE REPAIRED IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. I DID TAKE SEVERAL PICTURE OF THE BROKEN BOLT HEAD, STEERING WHEEL, AND STEERING COLUMN (WITH THE REMAINING BOLT). THIS CAR IS OWNED BY COUPLE WHO ARE IN THERE 60'S. WE PURCHASED IT NEW AND HAS NEVER BEEN RACED OR ABUSED. *TR
