| Description of the problem | I was driving about 35 mph when all of a sudden a warning for power advance flashed on the car. It got hard to steer so i took it to the dealership the same day at 99,000 miles. They said that a new steering gear is needed and that it is not covered under warranty, the cost would be around 1500. 00 they told me. There was a recall for steering in june of 2015 ive had this vehicle since march of 2015, my car wasnt under recall which it needs to be cause there are other milans with the same issue. Ford's number for this recall is 15s18. |
