Consumer Description

THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY DIDN'T WORK. UPON SEVERAL RESTARTS, IT BEGAN WORKING AGAIN BUT SOMETIMES STOPS WORKING WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. THIS EVENT HAS BEEN REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2008 - 2011 FORD ESCAPES BUT MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT HAS THE SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM AS THE CARS THAT WERE RECALLED. FORD WILL NOT TELL ME WHY MY 2011 WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. THE COST OF REPAIR IS APPROXIMATELY $1,000. I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED BUT WON'T INCLUDE MY CAR.
