Consumer Description
OUR CAR WAS RECALLED FOR A POWER STEERING FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING BECAUSE IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER. FORD REPAIRED THE STEERING PROBLEM. THE CAR THEN EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM 8 MONTHS LATER AND FORD IS REFUSING TO COVER THE REPAIR. THEY CLAIM THAT WE ARE PAST THE 1 YR / 12K MILE WARRANTY BUT WE HAD BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER SEVERAL MONTHS EARLIER AND THE CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT FIND THE FAULT. THE CAR'S POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AFTER THE FAILURE THE CAR WAS 200 MILE OVER THE WARRANTY. FORD NOW CLAIMS THAT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE COST OF REPAIR. CLEARLY THE REPLACEMENT PART THEY USED WAS DEFECTIVE.
