NHTSA Complaint #10874124 — 2014 FORD EXPLORER

I AM HAVING A MAJOR CONCERN OVER THIS RECALL GIVEN THE FACT THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE UNTIL THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2016. HOW CAN FORD ALLOW 75K+ DRIVERS TO DRIVE WILLINGLY KNOWING THERE MAY BE A POTENTIAL ISSUE WITH THEIR STEERING. THIS IS EVEN MORE SO OF A CONCERN FOR ME SINCE MY FAMILY AND I ARE SCHEDULED TO TRAVEL NORTH 16 HOURS TOMORROW. HEAVEN FORBID BUT WHO WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES TO MY VEHICLE OR MY FAMILY BECAUSE FORD WAS NOT PROACTIVELY PREPARED TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE? WHO WILL REIMBURSE ME FOR A RENTAL SINCE I CANNOT RELY ON MY VEHICLE I PAY GOOD MONEY FOR AND ON TIME EVERY MONTH? THIS IS MY VERY FIRST FORD VEHICLE I HAVE HAD FOR 6 MONTHS AND THIS IS THE 2ND STEERING ISSUE IVE ENCOUNTERED AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND CONCERNED. JUST THREE WEEKS AGO I HAD TO HAVE MY STEERING RACK REPLACED. THIS IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE!
