Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT TIME AROUND 35 MPH AND THE POWER STEERING ALERT LIGHT CAME ON. FOLLOWING THAT ANOTHER LIGHT CAME ON FOR ADVANCED TRACK WARNING. EITHER WAY MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE POWER STEERING RECALL FOR MY CAR SAME YEAR, MAKE ,AND MODEL. I WAS INFORMED THIS BY FORD. PRIOR TO THIS MY CAR WAS DRIVING FINE AND THIS HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN. NOW THE CAR IS VERY HARD TO TURN, FINE TO STEER, AND VERY HARD TO PARK. I DO NOT PLAN ON FIXING AND PLAN TO MOVE ON FROM FORD BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCHING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE I ALSO DISCOVERED THIS HAS BEEN A REGULAR OCCURRENCE FOR THIS SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL CAR. ALSO I NOTICED THAT FORD DID NOTHING SANS THE RECALLS TO RECTIFY THIS SAME PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED TO SIMILAR CARS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
