Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MY STEERING WHEEL BECOMING LOOSE. THE NUT THAT HOLDS THE STEERING WHEEL ON LOOSENS EVERY 5 TO 6 MONTHS.I HAVE CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY RECALL DEPT. AND THEY DONT REALLY CARE ABOUT MY PROBLEM.I FEEL THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE.I AM VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE A MECHANIC IN THE FAMILY,SO IT DOESNT COST ME $300-$400 DALLARS EVERY TIME THIS OCCURS.BUT IT IS STILL A WASTE OF MY TIME AND MY MECHANICS TIME EVERY TIME THIS PROBLEM ARISES. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK TO ME ON WHETHER OR NOT THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO LOOKED INTO OR NOT.....THANKS DAWM M BAN. *AK
