Consumer Description
MY SON WAS DRIVING OUR 2013 FORD FOCUS ON A CITY STREET AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THANK GOODNESS HE OR NO ONE ELSE WAS NOT INJURED AND WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE CAR HOME. TURNS OUT THE POWER STEERING MODULE WENT OUT. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN OCCURRING PROBLEM IN PRIOR YEAR MODELS AND HAD RECALLS ON THEM. HOWEVER, THE 2013 MODEL DID NOT HAVE A RECALL AND WE HAD TO SHELL OUT OVER $1700 FOR REPAIRS OUT OF OUR OWN POCKET.
