Consumer Description
I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK. I WAS ON HWY 109 GOING 45 MPH. I WAS ABOUT FOUR MILES FROM MY WORK AND SUDDENLY MY POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING THE WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO MOVE. I COULD BARELY GET IT TO MY JOB. I MADE IT THERE AND TURNED OFF MY CAR. I STARTED IT BACK UP TO SEE IF THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM THE A WARNING LIGHT POPPED UP THAT SAID POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. I STILL HAD NO POWER STEERING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY CAME AND GOT MY CAR BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE EPS BOLTS. THEY CALLED ME THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THAT WASNT THE PROBLEM THAT I NEEDED MY STEERING RACK REPLACED. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND MY CAR HAD NO SYMPTOMS OF THE STEERING RACK BEING BAD. THE WHEEL DIDNT SHAKE AND IT WASN'T HARD TO STEER OR KEEP MY CAR IN THE LANE . I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW IT COULD JUST GO OUT WITH OUT WARNING. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE. WJY ISNT THOS A RECALL. IVE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SOLUTION IF I WOULD HAVE WRECKED AND BEEN INJURED OR IF MY SPECIAL NEEDA CHILD WAS IN THE CAR AND I WRECKED. SOMETHING NEEDA TO BE DONE
