NHTSA Complaint #11307730 — 2010 FORD ESCAPE

THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD OCCASIONALLY SHAKE ~1' IN EITHER DIRECTION FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS WHILE IDLING FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS; DID THAT 4/5 TIMES EACH DAY. IT WOULD STOP WHILE DRIVING. THE 3RD DAY A SENSOR ALARM WENT OFF ABOUT 60 SECONDS APART AND BY THE 4TH TIME, IT FINALLY SAID THIS ERROR MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT'. ALL OF THIS PART OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, GETTING ONTO THE EXIT RAMP, ONTO THE MAIN ROAD, THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND PARKING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN LOOKING UP THE CODE, THIS WAS LISTED FOR A RECALL. 1 TECH AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A PART OF THE RECALL. ANOTHER TECH SAID IT WAS NOT AFTER ALL AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THEY INSISTED IT WAS ONLY FOR A FEW VEHICLES YET IT IS THE SAME EXACT RECALL WARNING LISTED. AMERICAN CORPORATIONS AND GOVERNMENT BODIES LACK COMMON SENSE WHILE THRIVING ON GREED AND CONTROL. OBVIOUSLY THE EXACT SAME PARTS WERE USED AND THE EXACT SAME RECALL HAS BEEN LISTED, BUT MAGICALLY DUE TO GREED AND POOR COMMON SENSE, I AM BEING TOLD TO JUMP OFF A CLIFF. LET'S FINALLY TAKE CARE OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND BUILD TRUST TO ONE ANOTHER. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMMENTS STATING THE EXACT SAME THING IN WHICH FORD REFUSES TO FIX THIS. NHTSA, YOU ARE OFFICIALLY ON NOTICE TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND NECESSARY AND MAKE FORD FIX THIS FOR EVERYONE AND NOT WHOM THEY SO CHOOSE. TIRED OF THE GOVERNMENT BEING BLAMED FOR EVERYTHING? ME TOO. SO FOR ONCE DO SOMETHING TO TRULY SHOVE THE BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATIONS DO WHAT THEY PROMISE TO DO AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT A CEO'S 7 FIGURE SALARY AND HURTING THEIR FEELINGS. DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE PLEASE AND STOP WAITING FOR MULTIPLE DEATHS TO OCCUR BEFORE YOU HAVE A MEETING WITH A CATERED LUNCH AND STARBUCKS TO DISCUSS YOUR FEELINGS ON THE MATTER. COMMON SENSE SAYS PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE WORKS!!!!
