NHTSA Complaint #11361975 — 2010 MERCURY MARINER

I'M VERY UPSET AND ON THE VERGE OF TEARS! AS I PULLED OUT OF THE BANK YESTERDAY, I MADE A LEFT HAND TURN AND MY STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY LOCKED ON ME! I ALMOST WRECKED! ON JULY 21, 2014 I TOOK MY CAR TO FREEDOM FORD IN MCALESTER, OK FOR RECALL #14S05. I WAS TOLD THE MODELS WOULD BE UPDATED TO " POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT! SO AFTERWARDS I LEFT ON MY MERRY WAY KNOWING THAT I WOULD NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS ISSUE AGAIN! WRONG! IS THERE ANYTHING FORD CAN DO TO BACK UP WHAT THEY SAID? THEY SAID UPDATING THE MODULES WOULD "PREVENT" THIS FROM HAPPENING? WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST SAY THAT IN A FEW YEARS IT WILL HAPPEN SO BE CAREFUL?? I"M SO UPSET! PLEASE HELP ME! I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY THE $1,600. PART THAT FORD SAYS I NEED! I REALLY THING THERE SHOULD BE AN UPDATED RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE THAT WAS NOT RESOLVED BY UPDATING MODULES!
