Consumer Description

THE STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING AND IS VERY HARD TO TURN. THERE IS NO LIGHT OR CODE. IT'S VERY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT FORD WILL BE HEARING FROM OUR LAWYERS. THIS SHOULD'VE HAVE BEEN RECALLED ALONG WITH THE OTHER MODELS AND YEARS THAT HAD THE SAME ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PROBLEMS.
