Consumer Description

POWER STEERING FAILED SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING NEARLY CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR 2007 FORD ESCAPE VEHICLES AND THERE IS A RECALL - BUT FOR SOME REASON IT ONLY COVERS 2008-2011 EVEN THOUGH THE MESSAGE BOARDS SHOW DOZENS OF 2007S WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IN FACT, MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME KANSAS CITY PLANT DURING THE COVERED PERIOD (AFTER AUGUST 18, 2006), YET IT IS INEXPLICABLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. AFTER HAVING THE POWER STEERING MODULE REPLACED WITH A USED ONE. THE STEERING FAILED AGAIN AFTER BARELY A DAY. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE FORD 14S05 RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V284000.
