WAS DRIVING CAR IN THE PARKING LOT LEAVING WORK AND WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. STEERING WHEEL HAD LOCKED UP ON IT, I STRUGGLED TO TURN THE WHEEL AND IT WOULDN'T TURN. ENDED UP CRASHING INTO A CONCRETE LIGHT POLE. WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 15 MPH AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND KNEE INTO THE DASH. HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. ALSO, THE WEEK PRIOR, MY LOW TIRE INDICATOR LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND EVERY TIME I WOULD CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE IT WAS FINE. *TR

TURNED ON THE IGNITION AND PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, REALIZED THE CAR WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL. WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC", AND "STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQ'D." THE CAR WAS SO DIFFICULT TO TURN THAT IT IS COMPARABLE TO TURNING THE WHEEL OF A CAR WHEN IT IS NOT RUNNING. A TOW TRUCK HAD TO BE CALLED TO TAKE IT TO THE FOR GARAGE. THE FORD GARAGE KEPT IT OVER NIGHT IN ORDER TO GET A PART FOR IT, THE PART WAS REPLACED AND THE CAR WORKED FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AND THE SAME EVEN OCCURRED. *TR

RAINING: THE HIGHEST SPEED SETTING WAS NOT FAST ENOUGH TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, CITY AND HAD TO PULL OVER DUE TO THE HIGH SPEED FOR THE WIPER IS NO DIFFERENT THEN BEING ON LOW SPEED.

FRONT END: EVERY TIME YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL I GET A CLUNKING NOISE AND YOU CAN FEEL IT IN THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAS BEEN A ONGOING PROBLEM. *TR
