Consumer Description

THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC LIGHT COMES ON REGULARLY WHILE TRYING THE STEERING WHEEL AT LOW SPEEDS. IT USED TO NOT BE AS COMMON, BUT HAS GOTTEN WORSE I. THE PAST 6 MONTHS. TODAY I TRIED SLOWING DOWN WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND THE STEERING G LOCKED UP ON ME MID-TURN. BASED ON THE SAME DIAGNOSTICS AS HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM, IT'S INDICATED THAT THE ENTIRE STEERING RACK WILL NEED REPLACED. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH NOT JUST THE 2011 MODELS, BUT WITH THE 2012 AND 2013 MODELS AS WELL.
