NHTSA Complaint #10733434 — 2012 FORD FOCUS

POWER STEERING ASSIT POPS UP THE DAY AFTER PURCHASING AND RESTARTED CAR. ISSUE WENT AWAY UNTIL AFTER USED CAR LOT WARRANTY RUNS OUT. ISSUE SEEMED TO ONLY HAPPEN IN THE WARMER MONTHS OF THE YEAR. HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 40-50 TIMES. FINALLY COMPLETELY WENT OUT ON JUNE 10TH 800 MILES AWAY FROM HOME WHILE MY WIFE AND KIDS WE ON A TRIPPED TO SEE HER PARENTS. HAD TAKEN CAR TO DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES OVER ISSUE SINCE WE PURCHASED AND THEY FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE BUT THEIR HANDS ARE TIED TIL I PAY THE $1850 OR A RECALL HAPPENS. SO RIGHT NOW IM STROKING A CAR NOT ON ONE BIGASS PAPER WEIGHT. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL DO A RECALL BEFORE THEY MEET THEIR"BLOODSHED QUOTA"! ITS SAD PROFIT MARGINS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. HEY FORD YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS BEFORE YOU KILL OFF CLIENT BASE!!!!
