Consumer Description

THE CAR NEEDS NOW A REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING GEAR. THE PRICE IS OVER $1500. THE CAR DIDN'T LET ME TURN RIGHT OR LEFT AND I JUST BOUGHT IT AT A CERTIFIED CARMAN FORD DEALERSHIP. IT SHOWED PROBLEMS AT 117650 MILES. THIS IS A SCAM, I PAID FOR INSURANCE AND I BROUGHT THE CAR TO CHANGE THE OIL EARLIER ANS THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY DEFECT. NOW, I CANT USE MY CAR. I WAS IN MOTION, THE CAR SEEMED TO MOVE TO ONE SIDE, THEN AT HOME WHILE STATIONED, I COULDN'T MOVE THE CAR AT ALL. NO EVEN RIGHT OR LEFT.
