NHTSA Complaint #11385775 — 2013 FORD TAURUS

WHILE LEAVING A PARKING LOT, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON MY FORD TAURUS STOPPED WORKING. I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN SHARP ENOUGH TO STAY IN THE INTENDED FIRST LANE OF TRAFFIC AND WENT DEEP INTO THE SECOND AND ALMOST THIRD LANE. LUCKILY THE PERSON IN THE CENTER LANE WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE LEFT TO AVOID A COLLISION. THERE IS A RECALL THAT DESCRIBE THIS AS (15V340000 OR FORD 15S18) BUT FORD SAYS IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE THOUGH THE DESCRIPTION IS IDENTICAL TO WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM THIS RECALL DESCRIBES IS NOT LIMITED TO THE SCOPE OF VEHICLES FORD CLAIMS AS PROBLEMATIC.
