Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | While driving at averagely about 40 mph the power steering on the ford escape 2012 just fails. This makes it incredibly impossible to control the vehicle and the only remedy is to cut off the car and start it again. This incident has happened multiple times in the past and is still continuing to happen sporadically even after being to the dealership multiple times at which they claim each time that the issue has been resolved. I really hope ford takes time to resolve this issue before someone gets killed and there is a huge class action lawsuit as i understand that this same problem occurs on different ford models across multiple year models. |
