Consumer Description

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING RECALL. THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING JUST RANDOMLY WENT OUT ON MY FOCUS. DROVE TO THE BUS STOP AND IT WAS WORKING FINE. GOT IN IT TO GO TO WORK AND THE STEERI G WHEEL WOULDN'T BUDGE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE ENTIRE ELECTRIC POWERING HAS TO BE REPLACED. $1600!!! THERE WAS NO WARNING OR ANYTHING. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND READ THAT PEOPLE ARE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THEIR ELECTRIC POWER STEERING JUST LOCKS UP WHILE THEY ARE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS FORD FOCUS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I REGRET BUYING IT.
