NHTSA Complaint #11141186 — 2008 FORD ESCAPE

MY 2008 ESCAPE (BUILT NOV '07) HAD RCL 14S05 PERFORMED NOV 2014 WHEN THERE WERE NO STEERING SYMPTOMS. HAD CAR IN FOR NEW TIRES ON MY OWN DIME, DEALER WANTED TO DO OPEN RECALL. I LET THEM. IN 2007 AND EVER SINCE, MY STEERING WENT BAD. INTERMITTENTLY THE WHEEL ROCKS IDLING IN PARK. ALWAYS LACK OF ASSIST PARKING MANUEVERS, DEPENDING ON AMBIENT TEMP. I SEEK FORD TO RE-OPEN RECALL 14S05 TO FIX THIS STEERING LACK OF ASSIST DESIGN PROBLEM. IT IS BAIT AND SWITCH FOR FORD TO CALL THE RECALL CLOSED IF YOU HAD REFLASH DONE AT EARLY POINT IN TIME WHEN STEERING DESIGN FLAW EXISTS THAT RIDES WITH VEHICLE FOR ITS LIFETIME. OR REIMBURSE/SEND ME NEW STEERING TORQUE SENSOR.
