Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A PUDDLE AND TURNING A CORNER, WATER WAS SPRAYED INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND DISABLED THE POWER STEERING. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE AT THE CORNER OR I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM, WITH THE SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING. FORD HAS A TSB, BUT THIS IS A LIFE-SAFETY ISSUE.
