Description of the problem | Drove to work fine, on my way home, alert comes on steering wheel fault and then i can barely turn the wheel. I panic and pull into auto zone, which they say i may need power steering fluid so i buy a bottle. Look in the car book to see where to put it, turns out this car isnt equip with that, i have an esp! Get in the car again and everything is fine no alert and i can drive it fine. Next day i go to drive and again i have an alert and can not drive!!! This is my 1st car ever and in the 2yrs i've had it nothing but recalls on it! This needs to be a recall to many are complaining about the same issue. What if this happen on a highway!?!?! On top of this i'm still waiting for a fix to the gas gauge issue, and the transmission was supposedly fix but it's still doing the same thing after a full stop, it has a hard time going again!!!!! I will never by a ford vehicle again |
