NHTSA Complaint #11298244 — 2016 FORD FOCUS

HELLO, MY CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND IN A TURN. IT WENT OUT LIKE A LIGHT BULB WOULD. NO WARNING. I WAS LUCKILY AS NO TRAFFIC WAS COMING WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THE ARCH OF THE CURVE WAS FAVORABLE FOR THIS SITUATION. I NOTICED THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. GOD FORBID IF I WOULD HAVE HAD MY GRANDCHILDREN WITH ME AND THERE WAS TRAFFIC!! THIS HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS AN ISSUE BEFORE WITH EARLIER MODELS AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED BUT THE ISSUE STILL REMAINS WITH THE NEWER MODELS AS WELL. SOMEONE WILL HAVE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT SOON WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF LIFE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMETHING UNFORTUNATE HAPPENS. THANK YOU! :-) [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
