Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | I only bought the car last year. Now, i cannot hardly steer it. The steering wheel locks up. I have to fight to turn it. A few mechanics took a look at it, at a shop, and they said it was the steering column, that it is defective. There are other reports about ford knowing there is an issue with the steering. I want a car that is safe. This car has had issues, continuously, since i bought it. Now, i am stuck with paying almost $400/month on a car that i cannot drive. This is not fair. Besides not fair, i do not want to end up dead, or any of my family members dead, because of a defect in the safety of the vehicle. |
