Consumer Description

IT WAS NOTED THAT THERE IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN RELATION TO THE DESIGN OF THE RACK AND PINION CAUSING A NOISE ON THE RETURN OF THE WHEEL. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP, FORD, THE ENTIRE RACK AND PINION SYSTEM SHOULD BE REPLACED AND THEY ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM. IN A CAR NOT EVEN THREE YEARS OLD THIS SHOWS A DEFINATE NEED FOR A RECAL OR AT LEAST SOME MANUFACTURER SUPPORT. THANK YOU
