Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | While turning the steering wheel to the right a knocking sound can be heard. Took vehicle to my local ford dealer and it was diagnosed with having a bad steering gear and it needed to be replaced for $1600 plus tax. The vehicle has 35,766 miles on it and is over the 3 year warranty by 5 months. Ford would not give assistance on replacing the part. Someone needs to look into these faulty steering components before someone is seriously injured. Power steering gears should not go out with that few miles. Seeing by the complaints on this page i am not the only one with this issue. |
