| Description of the problem | Steering shaft assembly binding causing serious safety issue. Vehicle has 37,000 miles currently. I paid ford dealer to inspect the vehicle and they state the steering shaft assembly was "binding". It was reported that the part was on a "national backorder". When i contacted ford they would not assist with the repair, only make a note in "my file". Serious safety issue and the need for a recall needs to be investigated. |
