FORD SERVICE STEERING GEAR Complaints

2012 FORD FOCUS "ELECTRIC STEERING CONTROL" WENT OUT, COULD NOT TURN STEERING WHEEL. LUCKILY I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY LEAVING TO RUN ERRANDS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. GOOGLED TO FIND OUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2011. FORD HAS BEEN NOTIFIED TWICE BY NHTSA AND ARTICLE IN NEW YORK TIMES DATED12/24/15 AND YET FORD IGNORES THE PROBLEM. THEY HAD RECALLS ON OTHER FORDS-FUSION, OR ANY VEHICLE USING NEW ELECTRIC STEERING SYSTEM BUT NOT THE FOCUS. FOUND OUT ON LINE THE CHARGE FOR CORRECTING PROBLEM AT $1700.00. MY FORD FOCUS WAS UNDER 60000 MILES AND 2 MONTHS PAST 5 YEARS , SO NO WARRANTY FOR STEERING PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN RECALL. GOT VEHICLE TO FORD AND COST TO REPAIR $1700.00, HAVE THEM BRING CAR HOME WITHOUT CORRECTING PROBLEM. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS.

THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN DETERMINED TO BE FAULTY, AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED MAY 31, 2017. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH NECESSITATING DEPLOYMENT OF THE FRONT AIR BAGS, THE PSAN INFLATORS MAY RUPTURE DUE TO PROPELLANT DEGRADATION OCCURRING AFTER LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE CYCLING. I LIVE IN VIRGINIA, A CLIMATE KNOWN TO BE EXTREMELY HUMID, WITH HOT SUMMER SEASONS AND WINTERS WITH TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING; THIS CLIMATE PRODUCES THE WORST FAILURE RATE IN THE PSAN INFLATORS. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED 144 DAYS AGO AND NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE TO ME AS OF TODAY; THERE IS NO DEFINITE DATE AS TO WHEN ANY REMEDY WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ME.

FORD STILL DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION TO MY AIRBAG RECALL AND IT HAS BEEN A YEAR FROM BEING NOTIFIED.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER ASSISTED STEERING (DPAS) SYSTEM ON MY 2012 FORD FOCUS HAS FAILED. THE VEHICLE IS UN-DRIVABLE ABSENT EXTREME FORCE. EMERGENCY MANEUVERS ARE OUT OF THE QUESTION. THE VEHICLE IS UTTERLY UNSAFE TO OPERATE. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND RESETTING THE ECU HAVE NO EFFECT.

I OWN A 2013 FORD FUSION. POWER STEERING UNIT HAS FAILED FOR A SECOND TIME. FIRST EVENT OCCURRED AT 36,360 MILES. DEALERSHIP "RE-BOOTED" THE PCM, PROBLEM SOLVED. YESTERDAY, 7/21/2016, POWER STEERING UNIT FAILED AGAIN. DEALERSHIP RESPONDED THAT THEY COULDN'T "RE-BOOT" IT THIS TIME AND AN ENTIRE RACK WAS "PROBABLY" WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO REPAIR IT THIS TIME, ($1500). THIS PROBLEM CAUSES THE STEERING TO BE EXTREMELY HARD STEERING. MY WIFE COULD NEVER DRIVE IT. I LIKE THE CAR, BUT THIS PROBLEM IS UNACCEPTABLE.

WELL IF FORD WOULD HAD SET THEIR PRIORITY STRAIGHT THE FIRST TIME INSTEAD OF SPEEDY DELIVERY EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY WOULD BE PLEASE, HAPPY. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY THIS TO GET IT FIX. WHY RECALL ON VAN TO FIX THERE RUST PROBLEM BUT NOT ESCAPE. WHY ? TRYING TO MAKE EXTRA POCKET MONEY OF THIS PROFIT. MAYBE. TO MANY FORD CUSTOMER HEADED TO OTHER BODY WORK SERVICE FOR REPAIRS.
