NHTSA Complaint #10870829 — 2011 FORD ESCAPE

I FILED A COMPLAINT THE OTHER DAY BUT IT HAS GOTTEN SO MUCH WORSE THAT I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PSCM WAS BAD. ALMOST $1300. IT WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I HAVE THE MONEY FOR IT. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS RECALL #14S05 BUT IT DOES NOT REACH OUR MANUFACTURER DATE. IT IS TIME FOR THEM TO STEP UP AND EXTEND THE RECALL TO COVER ALL OF THE DATES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN LIKE HAPPENED TO ME THE OTHER DAY. I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN IN THE INSIDE TURNING LANE WHEN IT STOPPED WORKING. NOT ONLY DID I LOSE POWER STEERING BUT IT SNATCHED THE WHEEL OUT OF MY HAND. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR NEXT TO ME BEFORE I GOT CONTROL OF IT. IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING, AND IT IS HER VEHICLE, SHE WOULD HAVE HIT THE CAR NEXT TO HER. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT WE ARE THE ONLY ONES COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO PUT A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP ON US TO GET IT FIXED.
