MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL "FROZE" I WOULD DESCRIBE IT AS THE OLD MANUAL STEERING SYSTEMS. HE WAS DRIVING ON A STATE ROUTE GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD INTO A CURVE WHEN IT HAPPENED. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A LARGE GRAVEL LOT AHEAD FOR HIM TO STEER STRAIGHT INTO. I DON,T BUY FORDS' CLAIM THAT THE STEERING FUNCTIONS AND ONLY DIFFICULT. TELL THAT TO A FRIGHTENED YOUNG DRIVER OR AN ELDERLY PERSON. THE ERROR DISPLAYED BELOW IS WHAT WAS DISPLAYED ON DASH AND WHAT IS FOUND NUMEROUS TIMES FROM OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS. THE CONTINUED HISTORY OF THIS ISSUE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! WHILE I HAVE NOT FOUND AN FATAL INCIDENT RELATED TO THE ISSUE, I DO NOT MY FAMILY TO BE THE FIRST. PLEASE REVIEW THIS OCCURRENCE NATIONALLY AND I IMPLORE YOU TO ISSUE A RECALL.
