Consumer Description

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IN OUR 2009 FORD ESCAPE STOPPED WORKING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IT. THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON ON THE WAY TO WORK AND THEN THE STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE WORK AT THE END OF THE DAY. IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL FOR 2009 FORD ESCAPES AND NEEDS TO BE ADDED.
