Consumer Description

THE STEERING IS OFF WHEN TURNING LEFT, RIGHT AND WHILE SWITCHING LANES. IT'S VERY HARD TO STEER. IT FEELS LIKE A MANUAL SHIFT DRIVING VEHICLE INSTEAD OF AUTOMATIC, HAVING TO USE BOTH HANDS JUST TO TURN THE VEHICLE. IT WASN'T AS HARD AT FIRST TO STEER. YOU COULD TELL THE STEERING WAS OFF BUT STILL MANAGEABLE. HOWEVER, NOW IT'S AT THE POINT IT'S A MUST TO GET FIXED. WE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT FIXED NOW. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP BUT WAS INFORMED THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC RECALLS FOR MY VIN#. I THEN CALLED THE NUMBER ON OWNER.FORD.COM WEBSITE AND SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE WHO ALSO SAID MY VIN DOESN'T HAVE ANY RECALLS FOR STEERING. I REFERENCED THE RECALL# 15S18 AS IT RELATES TO MY PROBLEM. I WAS STILL INFORMED MY VIN# IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL BUT TO HOLD ONTO MY RECEIPT FROM THE REPAIR SHOP IN CASE IT HAPPENS TO BECOME PART OF THE RECALL THEN WE CAN FORWARD THEM THE RECEIPT. *TR
