NHTSA Complaint #11374177 — 2012 FORD FOCUS

I HAVE HAD A STEERING ASSIST DEFAULT PROBLEM FOR WITH MY 2012 FOCUS. THEY RECALLED 2013-2018 FOCUSES BUT NOT MY YEAR.WHEN I WOULD START IT THE STEERING ASSIST DEFAULT WOULD SHOW ON MY DASH, IT WOULD BEEP AND IT WAS HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL. I WAS TOLD BY AUTONATION FORD THE RECALL INCLUDED EVERY YEAR OF THE SYSTEM EXCEPT MINE AND JUST TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND THIS WAS WORKING UNTIL LAST MONTH. I WENT TO A LARRY MILLER FORD DEALER AND THEY WANTED $2400 TO REPLACE IT AND CONFIRMED MY YEAR GOT SKIPPED ON THE RECALL. MY 2012 FOCUS HAS THE SAME STEERING SYSTEM AND PROBLEM AS THE 2013-2018. MY YEAR WAS UNLAWFULLY CHEATED OUT OF THE RECALL! I HAVE NO POWER STEERING AND HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MANUAL STEERING NOW! AND I HAD TO PAY $145 ON 10/21/2020 TO FIND OUT IT WOULD COST ME $2400 TO FIX IT BEACUSE THE RECALL WASN'T GOOD FOR MY 2012 ONLY 2013-2018!
