Description of the problem | I have the car parked in my driveway when i went to drive it gives me the message "steering assist fault service required". The steering wheel is extremely difficult to turn. The car has 48,288 miles which i've only put 12,088 of it. I have only had the car 14 months when this occurred i've contacted the dealer which they stated the extended warranty i requested was never purchased when i told them the warranty paperwork that was given to me was expired before i purchased the car. I am furious with the dealer, and ford. I don't have $1,500 for the repair and without a car i can't get to work. Now i have to worry of having it repossessed because i can't make the car payment. |
