| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The vehicle was in motion on a highway going 65 mph when suddenly the advancetrac light illuminated and a message appeared (power steering malfunction service now). I had to use great force in order to turn the wheel just to exit the highway and safely park my vehicle. The estimated cost for repairs are completely ridiculous for a person who is financing the vehicle. In addition, the later model mercury milans have been recalled for the same issue; however, the 2010 milans were somehow left out of the recall and that is completely asinine. It should be included immediately in that recall. |
