Description of the problem | My son had just driven to altoona, pa from wash dc, parked the car, and went into house. Came out of house, got into car to drive to state college , pa where he is a student at psu. Was unable to steer the car. Luckily this didn't happen while he was on the highway. Car had to be towed to stuckey ford in hollidaysburg, pa. Shouldn't such a dangerous malfunction,especially with only 40,000 miles , qualify as a recall ? Cost of repair was $2495. 00. |
