Description of the problem | Three separate incidents. All three incidents happened while first starting vehicle, putting vehicle in reverse, and then the steering wheel locks up and a steering assist failure warning comes on. Steering wheel will not move. Had to pull back in to parking spot and turn car off. Upon turning the vehicle back on, the steering wheel is back to normal and the warning is gone. Terrible vehicle. Feel unsafe driving my child in it. Never will buy another ford ever again. |
