Description of the problem | I was driving down a city street and an engine light appeared and instantly power steering stopped while i was in motion. I had to slowly drive the car back to the house which was 10 mins away and park it which obviously was not easy considering the circumstances. Ford stated that there were no recalls on electrical or power steering for this model but i have seen that some other models have had electrical issues and its concerning. Luckily, i was the only person in the car and my children were not present. I am also thankful i was not on the interstate when this occurred as this could have been a potentially dangerous situation. This occurred yesterday, 8/26/2020 in indianapolis, in. |
