Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL PULLS EXTREMELY HARD TO THE LEFT.I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND THANKFULLY NOT ON THE HIGHWAYNOW EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED THE STEERING AUTOMATICALLY (AND BY IT'S SELF) TURNS HARD AND FAST ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT. THIS HAPPENED AT ABOUT 156,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A FORD MECHANIC BUT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THERE ARE NO CODES OR INDICATOR FAULT LIGHTS OR WARNINGS. IT WS MADE AT THE KANSAS CITY PLANET BUT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. I GUESS SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO DIE OR WORSE TAKE THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION.ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT FORD'S ELECTRONIC STEERING AND STILL NOTHING BEING DONE. MAKES YOU WONDER WHO'S REALLY CALLING THE SHOTS HERE.
