NHTSA Complaint #11090836 — 2013 FORD TAURUS

THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2013 FORD TAURUS LIMITED HAS GOTTEN HARD TO TURN AND IS REALLY BAD AT LOW SPEED AND TAKING TWO HANDS TO TURN. IT ONLY HAS 61700 MILES ON IT. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE AND A RECALL FOR IT. WHEN I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY THEY SAID THAT MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, THE RECALL ONLY COVERS FORD TAURUS SEPTEMBER 7, 2010 THRU FEBRUARY 28, 2012, MY FORD TAURUS WAS MANUFACTURERED IN 2013. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE SAID THAT THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE IS BACK ORDERED UNTIL MID JULY. THIS IS JUST ABSURD THAT MY FORD TAURUS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND FURTHERMORE THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX IT UNTIL MID JULY. THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS ME AND MY FAMILY DRIVE AROUND IN A CAR WITH FAULTY STEERING THAT IS UNSAFE WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE US TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT WITH NO FIX FOR MONTHS.
