Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | On several occassions over the past few weeks, while driving, my steering goes out but the car is still powered. It has happened while in motion but slowing down to make right hand turns. This has happened on local city streets. I am afraid to drive it on the highway due to higher speeds and the danger of crash at higher speeds. It becomes impossible to turn the wheel. Once vehicle is turned off and started again, the power returns. The cause for this is unknown, except it sounds like the same issue as the steering recalls for the 2008-2011 ford escape models previously. |
