Description of the problem | This is a 2013 car that should not have had to have the steering rack replaced at our cost because warranty has expired, as this should be considered a mfg defect! Ford has had this problem with power assist steering for a long time. Earlier models were recalled and it appears to fix the issue ford has reprogrammed computer so that you do not lose steering while driving, only after you shut off key and try to restart. However, this does not fix the problem. Why is the steering failing, and the repair at$1500. 00 is costly! |
