MERCURY Complaints

THE WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASH APPEARED AND THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THE CAR STILL OPERATES AFTERWARDS, BUT THE WRENCH LIGHT IS STILL ON AND STEERING IS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS.

THERE IS A FEDERAL RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TWICE WITH MATHEWS FORD IN NEWARK, OHIO. THEY HAVE FAILED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN THEY SAID BECAUSE OF COVID THEY WERE NOT FIXING THEM. I SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE FROM FORD WHO SET UP A SECOND APPOINTMENT. THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO PICK UP THE CAR ON 02/24 AND NEVER ARRIVED.

REAR-ENDED A SNOW PLOW GOING 30-35 MPH WHEN I WAS GOING 60 MPH AND THE DRIVER-SIDE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY.*DT*JB*DT*JB*DT*DT*JB*JB*DT*JB*JB*DT*JB*DT

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET MY POWER STEERING COMPLETELY GAVE OUT AND IT SAYS A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF ON THE DASH. I ALMOST WRECKED THE CAR BECAUSE IT VEERED OFF TO THE RIGHT. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TOW THE CAR HOME.
