Consumer Description

WHILE BACKING UP AND UPON TURNING THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT FORD HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS SINCE 2011 FOR THE ELECTRIC STEERING RACK AND PINION (IT WAS NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR THE 2011 MODEL) GOING BAD AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND THERE HAVE BEEN TSB'S ABOUT SAID PROBLEM AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE REGARDING THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED KNOWING THERE IS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND HAVING TO PAY OVER $2K TO GET THIS FIXED WHEN FORD KNOWS ABOUT SAID PROBLEM AND WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP THE CONSUMER FOR THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT.
