I was driving home from school and all of a sudden I couldn’t turn the wheel. I didn’t know what was happening I called my grandmother terrified. She told me to go home and turn the wheel really hard to get it in the parking lot and park. I had the car towed to fire dealer. They said I need a steering assembly. My car was not on the recall list and the warranty was out 3 months. The cost would be $2,300. This is a safety issue and it’s the same issue as the 2011 Ford Fusion’s that were recalled. I want to upload the billing and need my vin added for the cost to be covered for repair. I thank you in advance for your assistance.
