Consumer Description

THIS MAY BE A DUPLICATE COMPLAINT BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE I SUBMITTED MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT FORM PROPERLY. YESTERDAY I WAS TRAVELLING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 65 TO 70 MPH WHEN MY STEERING FROZE UP. THANK GOD I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND GOING STRAIGHT BECAUSE IF I HAD BEEN IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING AND THERE WERE OTHER VEH. AT AN INTERSECTION THERE WOULD HAVE ALMOST CERTAINLY BEEN AN ACCIDENT. ALSO THANK GOD MY WIFE WAS'NT DRIVING BECAUSE SHE WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO STEER THE CAR OFF THE FREEWAY. I WAS ABLE TO WRANGLE THE CAR TO A NEARBY FORD DEALERSHIP BUT AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM WITH FORD EXPLORERS FURTHER I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A REOCCURING PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN REPORTED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. IN MY WILDEST IMAGINATION I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING HAS NOT BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM WILL ABSOLUTELY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY TO SOMEONE SOON. I HOPE IT'S NOT ME OR MY FAMILY.
