| Description of the problem | I have a 2010 lincoln mkt and i have been having trouble with the power steering. It randomly stops working and it difficult to steer the car. I almost hit a mailbox today because the steering became so stiff and the alert came up on my dash. There is a recall for the 2011 and 2012 models but the nhtsa recall should include the 2010 models as well. I have children and this is a huge safety hazard! I won't even be able to resell the car in this condition as it is random. Please consider looking into this issue promptly as i can see there have been other complaints and my situation is not unique. I pray to god i don't get in an accident because i don't have any other options for transportation and will try to avoid using the interstate in meantime. Thank you for your time! Please update me at [[xxx] or [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
