NHTSA Complaint #11232770 — 2014 FORD FOCUS

TAKATA: THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR IS IF YOU PUT GAS IN THE CAR THE CAR WILL NOT START YOU HAVE TO KEEP TURNING AND PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL UNTIL IT REGISTER THAT THERE IS GAS IN THE CAR. THE READ WILL SAY 98 MILES UNTIL YOU NEED GAS BUT IF YOU DONT PUT GAS IN BEFORE THEN THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND THAT READS AT ABOUT A QUARTER TANK OF GAS. THEN THERES TIMES I GET INTO THE CAR TO GO AND THE STEERING COLUMN WILL LOCK TO WHERE YOU CANT EVEN TURN THE WHEEL. I LOOKED IT UP AND I SEE THERES BEEN PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COLUMN PLUS IT LITES UP IN THE CAR STEERING WHEEL DEFAULT I CALLED THE FORD BUT THERE SAYING THERE IS NO RECALL ON ANY OF THE TWO THINGS IM TALKING ABOUT. ITS NOT SAFE WHAT IF THE WHEEL DECIDES TO LOCK WHILE I AM DRIVING OR THE CAR SHUTS OF BECAUSE IT READ 98 MILES BEFORE YOU NEED GAS BUT THATS NOT THE CASE. I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THE WHEEL LOCKED. WITH THE GAS WAS ON THE ROAD AND THE CAR SHUT OFF LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO A GAS STATION.
