NHTSA Complaint #11156107 — 2013 FORD EXPLORER

MY EXPLORER LIMITED 2013 HAS THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM DAMAGED, LOCKED AND I ALMOST HAD A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT WHEN IT LOCKED WHILE DRIVING. I LEARNED ABOUT A RECALL FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE, HAD A CHAT SESSION A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT FALL INTO THE RECALL DATES RANGE FOR BARELY 6 MONTHS. I CONTACTED FORD AGAIN FOR RECONSIDERATION? IT IS EVIDENT THAT MY PROBLEM IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PART EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE ONE COVERED BY THE RECALL. I HAD READ A LOT OF INFORMATION ON LINE AND THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IS IDENTICAL TO MINE. NO DOUBT THAT MY CAR WAS EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL DATES.
