Description of the problem | Purchased the car used with only 10k miles, after leaving dealership driving home on freeway speeds i noticed the car would not track correctly as is wanders left and right with a jerking pull requiring correction inputs the whole trip. Took car to dealership, first thing they did is rotate and balance tires. Did not fix problem. I have read of numerous reports of this same issue. When will ford stand up to this problem before it takes someones life. The electronic steering problems are a serious and dangerous issue. I do not recommend anyone purchase any ford focus until this poor system is replaced, or a recall is instated to fix this serious issue. |
