Consumer Description

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ON APR 21ST AND THE STEERING WHEEL FELT A LITTLE SENSESTIVE/ARTFICAL BUT IT WAS WINDY OUT SO I THOUGHT IT WAS MAYBE DUE TO THE CONDITIONS OUTSIDE. SO WE TRAVELED ABOUT 30 MINUTES THEN THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON STATING "STEERING LOSS STOP SAFELY" CAME ON WHICH WAS A SHOCKING SO WE PULLED OVER TO CHECK FOR ISSUES. AT THIS TIME THE STEERING WAS STILL OK JUST JUST TOUCHY, SO I RESTARTED THE CAR THINKING IT WOULD RESET THE COMPONENTS THAT WAS MAYBE THROWING THE MESSAGES, THE RED WARNING WENT AWAY BUT WAS RETURENED BY THE SAME MESSAGE AS WE PULLED IN TO THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME BUT AT THE SUGGESTION OF THE DEALERSHIP THEY ASKED THAT I REMOVE THE BATTERY FOR 1 HOUR TO SEE IF THE COMPONENTS WOULD RESET DUE TO THAT BUT DID NOT HELP THINGS AT ALL SO I HAD TO BRING IT IN ON 4-20 WHICH THEY INFORMED ME OF THE $2K BILL TO FIX WHICH IF YOU DO RESEARCH IS A HIGHLY COMMON ISSUE WITH-IN THE F-150, EXPLORER AND FLEX LINE UPS. SO MY QUESTION, WHY IS FORD NOT OFFERING TO FIX AN ISSUE WHICH CLEARLY MAKE THE CAR TOTALLY UN-SAFE AND UN-DRIVEIBLE?
