| Description of the problem | I lost complete control of steering of my lincoln while driving ( no steering whatsoever) and fortunately the direction of the car was heading toward the shoulder of the turnpike. And i got off the road onto shoulder. Scary!! This car was recalled twice for the steering shaft and was to have been repaired. Or was it!?? This could have been a major accident, with loss of steering!! Ford needs to stand behind this incident and cover the cost of repairs!! How many others with lincoln towncars have crashed with loss of steering and never lived to tell their story!! |
