Description of the problem | The power steering on my car went out as i was driving, making it very difficult to make turns. I was on a city street and was able to pull of the road. I turned off the engine, made a phone calls. I started the engine again and headed home ( about 5 miles) there was no power steering. It was very difficult to maneuver. Two days later we took the car to our local mechanic. He told us that ford has trouble with the steering system and that we needed to take it to a ford dealer. We took it to liberty ford in parma, ohio. Even though this is a safety issue and ford is experiencing many cases of this problem, the dealership said ford is not covering any of the cost. |
