Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING UP A HILL GOING AROUND CORNER AND STEERING FAILED NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT . THERE WAS NO WARNING AND THE STEERING JERKED TO THE LEFT IN A RIGHT HAND TURN. WAS BARELY ABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE . I AM A FAIRLY MUSCULAR PERSON AND IT TOOK EVERYTHING TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET VEHICLE HOME LUCKILY I WAS ONLY A COUPLE MILES FROM HOME. AN AVERAGE PERSON WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND AN ACCIDENT WOULD LIKELY HAPPEN . UNDER RESEARCH WITH FORD WITH ELECTRONIC STEERING THIS IS HAPPENING REGULARLY AND ACCIDENTS ARE HAPPENING.THERE IS NO WARNING AND THE STEERING WHEEL GETS JERKED TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER WITH VERY LITTLE CONTROL ON THE VEHICLE.THE VEHICLE I WAS DRIVING WAS MOVING WHEN THIS OCCURRED.
