NHTSA Complaint #11217789 — 2011 FORD EXPLORER

THERE WAS A RECALL 14E-001/13S14, THEY RESET MY COMPUTER DID NOT REPLACE THE PART WHICH FINALLY FAILED WHEN I WAS DRIVING MAKING STEERING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT HAD I NOT BEEN FAMILIAR WITH MANUAL STEERING IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM I HAD TO REPLACE THE PART THAT WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM AND THE RESET ON COMPUTER WHICH WAS THE ONLY THING DONE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PRACTICE OF QUICK FIX TO OVERRIDE THE SYSTEM TO PROTECT A BOTTOM LINE NOT THE BUYERS OF FORD VEHICLES. HAD THEY REPLACED THE PART INSTEAD OF RESETTING MY COMPUTER THIS WOULD NEVER OF HAPPENED.
