NHTSA Complaint #11382932 — 2009 FORD ESCAPE

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AT 45 MPH, THE "POWER STEERING SENSOR FAULT" LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK SAFELY, HOWEVER, ONCE I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN, I NOTICED A LOSS OF STEERING. THERE HAVE BEEN A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THIS VERY ISSUE, YET MY VIN NUMBER ON THE CAR WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL LIST. HAD THE LOSS OF STEERING OCCUR WHILE DRIVING, I WOULD'VE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE MANY CURVED ROADS WHERE I LIVE IN FLORIDA. ANOTHER RECALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR A MONTH.
