NHTSA Complaint #10822912 — 2008 FORD ESCAPE

MY STEERING WENT OUT AFTER I HAD STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF. I HAD GOT BACK IN THE CAR 30 MINUTES LATER PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THE STEERING WAS GONE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAD PURCHASED IT FROM BECAUSE I HAD SEEN ON SOME SERVICE PAPERS FROM THEM THAT STATED A RECALL ON THE FORD ESCAPE WAS IN PLACE #14S05. HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE. MY MILEAGE IS 101,500. THIS IS THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT I HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT MY IGNITION SWITCH BECAUSE IT WAS GIVING ME PROBLEMS AND WAS TOLD THAT IT DIDNT GIVE THEM A PROBLEM. 2 MONTHS LATER SWITCH IS ALMOST GONE COMPLETELY, I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT SORRY YOUR EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS.
