| Description of the problem | While driving, the vehicle lost power completely so power steering was non-functional. Was able, with much difficulty, to guide the vehicle off of busy road and on to side street. Darn lucky i wasn't involved in accident. Had vehicle towed to crossroads ford in cary, n. C. Here is word for word what the mechanic wrote. "vehicle towed in. Customer states vehicle turns over but won't start. Check and advise. "could not duplicate concern. Ran oasis. No codes. Read past hotline reports for bad pin fit for fuse 27 in under hood fuse panel. Tried to relocate to different location. Wire terminal damaged during removal. Installed inline fuse holder to fuel pump wire. Installed 20 amp fuse. Test drove and no problems at this time." so basically, this was a flaw in manufacture regarding pin fit for fuse 27 that caused vehicle to cease power while driving and endangered passengers. I called ford service at 800-392-3673 and case was opened. Case # [xxx]. Customer service rep at crossroads ford was [xxx] and mechanic was [xxx] . I spoke with service manager [xxx] and he was made aware of situation and i'm waiting for his reply as to if there will be compensation. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
