| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: When traveling down the freeway and you go to make a lange change to the right or take an exit ramp. some times the sterring wheel won't move when you try to turn it to the left(acts like the steering freezes). after sufficient force you can force the steering wheel to the right,then the steering responds and every thing is all right until the next time it happens. the problem is that you have to react quickly especially if taking an off ramp or find yourself colliding with the sound wall. this is something i do not enjoy that thought at all. i feel that this is a very serious saftey matter and one of these days someone is going to be killed because of this. this is an intermittent problem only occurring at freeway speeds. i have talked to other people that drive probes and have the same problem. i also talked to the ford dealership and their responce was since the warrenty has expired that there is nothing that they can do about it. also searched your data base of recalls and s/b's and found nothing that pertains to this situation. i hope that you can help us with this serious problem. thank you for your time and help. *ak |
