At approximately 46,000 miles I was driving on a freeway in the rain and felt the steering was a little "jerky" I thought it was the wet road condition and wind. A few minutes later an alert popped up on the dashboard saying steering failure and to pull off road safely. I wasn't far from the Ford dealership where I purchased the car. After a diagnostic was done, I was informed that is was the rack and pinion. The dealership quoted me over 3,000. 00 to replace. After consulting with my retired mechanic brother and another mechanic friend, they suggested I contact Ford. It took over 3 weeks but Ford offered to take on part of the cost. I was out of pocket $855. 00 for the repair, but was also without a car for 3 weeks. I still feel that they should have covered the entire repair. I hope this post will help generate a recall, as I've seen others who have had the same issue. I'm under the impression that if a recall is issued, I will be reimbursed for the money I paid for this repair. Everyone I've spoken to with knowledge of cars and their mechanics agree that the rack and pinion should not go out before at least 100,000. Miles.
