Description of the problem	I was driving to pick up my daughter from school and the car steering stiffened up. I was in the parking lot so luckily nothing happened. I stopped and restarted the car but it was still stiff that it was impossible to turn and take car out of the lot. I had to leave the car there and bring the kids home on my own. Not what you can expect from a new car and certainly very luck y to not happen on the highway. Ford saying it is a manufacturing defect and they forgot the harness in the power steering. It was then taken from a new car and placed on my car. I am not comfortable with it but they said they cannot give me a new car.
