 Description of the problemAs i was driving home with my daughter i had turned a corner going a low speed like 10mph and the steer assist fault warning light came on and my steering wheel locked up as i was turning and i had to force my car straight. I moved off to the side and i was so scared. My daughter who is autistic also said mommy i'm scared. I had no idea if it was safe to try and get home or if i should sit there. I am so frustrated that i bought this car to replace a car that had gone out and have only had it for 5 months. I'm even more upset that i trusted that the 2013 ford focus was a stable car and here i am about to have to shell out money that i don't have to get it fixed. I'm outraged that this type of thing is happening to many ford owners,and i'm regretting that i even chose this car. They boast about being american made yet it's bad quality american made. I also have an issue with the car jerking and shaking while driving or stuttering. Although this is equally dangerous it is tolerable. I hope this company makes it right with their customers and think of our safety before they keep making these cars. Im very disappointed beyond words. Major work on a car with only 44,890 mikes on it. Shame on you ford
