Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL // FOR SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT ON MY CAR. MOST OF THE TIME IT HAPPENED AS I STARTED THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND START AGAIN AND IT WAS FINE. FEW TIMES I WAS DRIVING AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEE OTHER FORD CARS ARE UNDER RECALL FOR RHIS PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR MY FOCUS. FORD OBVIOUSLY IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND IS IGNORING IT. SO DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE FORD TAKES NOTICE OF HOW MANY CARS THEY MANUFACTURED ARE FAULTY AND THEY ARE PUTTING US COMSUMERS AT RISK EVERY TIME WE HAVE TO BE ON THE ROAD. NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OR THE EXPENSE OF GETTING PROBLEM FIXED. AND IT SHOULD NOT BE UP TO THE CONSUMER TO FIX FAULTY CAR MADE BY FORD, IT IS FORD THAT NEEDS TO PLACE RECALL ON THIS CAR AND FIX TO HAVE ALL THIER CONSUMERS SAFE ON THE ROAD. IF NOT I CAN GUARANTEE I WILL NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO BUY FORD.
