Description of the problem	On the morning of 12/13/12 i was on my way to my daughters daycare & my work going around 70 mph on i-75 south with my 22 month old daughter in her car seat, when my steering wheel locked up on me in my 2010 ford escape. I couldn't move the car to get over onto the shoulder. I started to panic! My alignment was a little off i guess, so my tires led me to the left (thank god) & i was able to stop my car on the shoulder by slowing down & letting my car glide over. I had power steering fluid at the time, but yet i wasn't even able to strong arm the steering wheel to get it to move. It was completely locked! The ford dealership told me i had to have the whole steering system replaced and will cost me $1,200. My (2010) 3 year old car is no longer under it's 36,000 warranty, so of course ford thinks i should pay for it! How can a steering wheel not be able to move side to side??? It's a steering wheel! This wasn't caused by any lack of maintenance or vehicle up keep. There should be no reason a 3 year old car should need a whole new steering system! This could have killed my 2 year old daughter & i if the express way started to curve. I was blessed i-75 was going straight at the time! Please recall this, so no one else is killed or they are put in harms way. Here is a website with other people who have had problems...... Http://www. Carproblemzoo.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
