NHTSA Complaint #11311786 — 2008 MERCURY MARINER

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS AGO. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 75 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE. I BECAME SCARED AS I THOUGHT I MIGHT CRASH WHEN I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND TRY TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. STEERING THE CAR EVEN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WAS HARD FOR ME. THE STEERING WHEEL EVEN SHAKES WHEN IT'S IN IDLE. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AS UPON MY GOOLE SEARCH, IT SHOWED AN OLD RECALL WITH THIS SAME ISSUE I AM HAVING. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO GAVE ME THE CODE OF B2278 WHICH IS STEERING SHAFT TORQUE SENSOR WHICH WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BE HARD TO STEER. I LOOKED BACK AT PAST COMPLAINTS AND IT SHOWS SEVERAL OWNERS HAVING THE SAME STEERING ISSUE BUT DID NOT REPORT IT TO THE MANUFACTURER. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT WHEN THE RECALL WAS ACTIVE THAT THIS ISSUE WAS REPAIRED AT THAT TIME. I CALLED FORD AND THEY REFUSE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE SO THAT LEAVES ME TO GET THIS REPAIRED WHICH WILL BE SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS I DON'T HAVE. I COMPLETED FURTHER RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE IS NO STATUE OF LIMITATIONS ON ANY RECALL AND IN FACT I HAVE 10 TO 15 YEARS AFTER AN ACTIVE RECALL TO HAVE THE RECALLED ISSUE REPAIRED BUT NO ONE WILL HONOR THIS. WHAT CAN I DO?
