FORD SERVICE STEERING GEAR Complaints

I WAS LEAVING SCHOOL AND PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE, A CHIME CAME ON AND A MESSAGE WAS SHOWN SAYING POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. I PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND DROVE STRAIGHT HOME. THIS JUST HAPPENED AND BY READING THE COMMENTS I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR ANYMORE, EVEN TO THE SHOP. I DO NOT MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR THE MAINTENANCE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED RIGHT AWAY. THIS SOUNDS TO ME LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!!! IF IT HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING I COULD BE LIABLE TO HIT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE ELSE AND MY CAR BE DAMAGED. I FEEL A RECALL IS VERY NECESSARY! *TR

OUR NEW (6,200 MILES) FORD FUSION HYBRID EXPERIENCED TOTAL POWER STEERING FAILURE. THE STEERING WHEEL COULD NOT BE TURNED. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE GETTING READY TO START A TRIP FROM HOME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. HAD WE BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE AND TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED DUE TO INABILITY TO STEER. IT HAS BEEN FIXED BUT THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. THE INTERNET HAS SIMILAR STORIES FROM OTHERS ALONG WITH SEVERAL CLASS ACTION SUITS. *JS

EVERY TIME I ASK FOR, RECALLS LOOK UP BY VIN IT GOES TO A SCREEN THAT SAYS, INTERNET EXPLORER CANNOT DISPLAY THE WEB PAGE. I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR THE AIRBAGS, I HAVE A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. *TR

I WAS IN A ACCIDENT ON AUGUST 21, 2014. TWO OR MORE DEER'S RAN OUT IN FRONT OF MY 2002 FORD EXPLORER AND I RAN OFF THE ROAD HITTING A POLE. IT CRUSHED THE WHOLE FRONT END AND MY AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. MY TRUCK IS A TOTAL LOSS AND I DID HAVE ON MY SEAT BELT BUT THE AIRBAG SHOULD OF DEPLOYED. *TR

FORD ESCAPE HYBRID: THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY AT 68 MILES PER HOUR SPEED, WITH THREE PASSENGERS, AND SUDDENLY A "CLICK SOUND" BEEN HEARD AND THE STEERING WAS "LOCKED". WHEN THE STEERING GOT LOCKED (UN-MOVABLE), THE BREAKS WERE HARD TO PUSH, AND APPLIED. BUT LUCKILY EMERGENCY LIGHTS BEEN PUT ON, AND THE VEHICLE BREAKS WERE PRESS HARD, AND THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE EMERGENCY LANE ON THE FREEWAY. AFTER THAT, THE STEERING WAS LOCKED DOWN AND NEVER MOVED. TOOK THE CAR TO MECHANIC AND THEY REFERRED TO FORD, SINCE THEY HAVE RE-CALL ON THE SIMILAR ISSUE. FORD DECLINED ANY RECALL, AND QUOTED FOR $3200 TO FIX THE CAR. THIS PART IS NOT AVAILABLE FROM ANY OTHER MANUFACTURE BESIDES FORD ITSELF. THE FAILURE COULD HAVE CAUSED A DEADLY ACCIDENT, TAKING EVERYONE LIVES WHO WERE SITTING IN THE CAR AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. *TR

2012 FORD FOCUS 24,000 MILES. DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY THE DEALER, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A PAIR OF TIRES HAD SEVERE ABNORMAL WEAR. TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED PER CAR MANUFACTURE SPECIFICATIONS. DEALER REPORTED THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR AND PURCHASING A NEW PAIR OF TIRES WOULD RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. UPON MY INVESTIGATION, CUPPING IN A 2012 FORD FOCUS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO NO CAMBER ADJUSTMENT TO THE REAR SUSPENSION. CUPPING ALSO REDUCES TRACTION AND BRAKING POWER. MY CONCERN IS FOR SAFETY, AND BELIEVE THE CAR MANUFACTURE HAS FAILED TO PROPERLY DESIGN THE GEOMETRY OF THE SUSPENSION CORRECTLY TO MEET. *TR

I WAS AT THE SCHOOL TO PICK UP MY KIDS,I TURN ON MY FORD EXPLORER 2002 XLT V6 4.0 TO DRIVE AND THEN THE SHIFT LEVER BROKE ON NEUTRAL POSITION, THAT WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE, HOW WILL I PARK MY CAR? IF IT HAPPENED ON A DOWNHILL, HOW ARE WE GOING TO PARK IT.IS THAT POSSIBLE TO MAKE A RECALL A FORD COMPANY TO FIX THE CAR. *TR

I OWN A 2008 FORD GT500 I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR NOT SENDING THE PROPER SIGNAL TO ACTIVATE THE AIRBAG FOR DEPLOYMENT I CONTACTED THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO DISCUSS HAVING THEM MEET A KNOWN RECALL WITH THIS AIRBAG SYSTEM THERE WAS A REPAIR MADE IN 2010 TO THE UNIT HOW EVER THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE AFTER THE INITIAL REQUEST TO CORRECT THE KNOWN PROBLEM THE SUPERVISOR I SPOKE WITH STATED FORDS FINAL DECISION WOULD BE THAT THEY KNEW THE PROBLEM EXISTED BUT WERE ONLY REQUIRED TO INITIATE A REPAIR ONCE AND EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG STILL EXISTED THEY WERE NOT OBLIGATED AND WOULD NOT MAKE THE REPAIR OR CONTINUE TO DISCUSS CORRECTING THE ISSUE I REQUESTED TO SPEAK WITH SUPERVISORS SUPERIOR AN WERE REFUSED ANY FURTHER ANSWERS OR HELP AND WAS THEN HUNG UP ON THE KNOWN AIRBAG ISSUE INCREASES THE CHANCE OF NECK INJURIES DURING DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG SHOULD THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOY AT ALL OBVIOUSLY FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS NO CONCERN FOR CONTINUING TO PUT PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER BY REFUSING TO REPAIR A KNOWN ISSUE WITH ITS PRODUCT. *TR

ALL FOUR TIRES HAD TO REPLACED BY ME AFTER ONLY 12,000 MILES. TWO OF THE TIRES BLEW OUT. POWER STEERING FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. SERVICE ADVANCETRAC IS ALSO NO LONGER WORKING. I HAVE TRIED TAKING MY CARE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX ANYTHING. THEY TOLD ME THE TIRES WERE MY FAULT, AND I TOLD THEM EITHER THEY THINK I AM STUPID OR THEY WERE NOT THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHED IF THEY THINK I BELIEVE ANY OF THESE ISSUES WERE MY FAULT. I CALLED FORD AND THEY WERE NO HELP. THEY TOLD ME IT IS UP TO THE DEALERSHIP IF THEY DECIDE TO FIX ANYTHING BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT OWNED BY FORD. I CURRENTLY HAVE LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW . FORD IS A HORRIBLE COMPANY AND DOES NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTY . THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO WAS PARK PLACE MOTORCARS IN DALLAS TX. THEY HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR BUT IF THIS WAS HONORED BY FORD I WILL TAKE IT. NO WAY I EVER BUY ANOTHER FORD. *TR
