Description of the problem	Coming into my parking lot, i lost power steering. It appears that i have a leak. But before this happened, i had some odd sounds happening and some other minor issues with the vehicle that at the time seemed unrelated. Then i lost my steering. I bought this vehicle used in '09, so i expected a few issues along the way. This is not the first major issue i have had, as i had to have the tranny recall issue repaired about a year or two ago. (what is it with ford thinking it is more cost efficient to allow people to get harmed than to fix a problem?!!! Unfortunately i have not had the income to buy a non-ford vehicle, but mark my words, when i do have the income, i will no longer be a ford driver.) not the first time that i have had to get recall work done either, i now have to get the rear seat fixed yet, but cannot drive it to the dealer to get it fixed because i don't have power steering! Ironic? Hhmmmm... I wonder. My car has been sitting since jan 6 2014. No money to fix it until now. Thanks ford -please note: said with sarcasm.
