Consumer Description

WHILE MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 2013 FORD FIESTA THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE WHILE SHE WAS IN A PARKED POSITION, THIS TIME HOWEVER IT WAS WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. AFTER THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. THIS IS DEFINITELY A CONCERN BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO WARNING WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR 8 MONTHS AGO FOR OUR DAUGHTER, SHE HAS BEEN A LICENSED DRIVER SINCE DECEMBER 2015. THE CAR HAD 1 PREVIOUS OWNER, NO ACCIDENTS, LOW MILEAGE. HAD RECALL ISSUE FOR DOOR LATCHES TAKEN CARE OF AS WELL AS REPROGRAMMING THE TCM 3 DAYS BEFORE STEERING WENT OUT.
