Started last year . Problem occur forward or backing up. Steering will become heavy and turning to the right. While driving steering wheel will get locked and the car will simultineouly stop but engine stays on. I will have to turn the car to off and turn back to on. Then I resume driving until it will occur again. This happened multiple times. I am not able to drive the car since I feel it is dangerous and unsafe. I contacted the Ford dealer they declined any recalls. They claimed recalls are only available for the prior year 2011. The cost to repair could be up to $1300 as an estimate based on the symbol diagnosis code that appear on the dashboard. Strted a year ago with mileage around 135,000 and continue till todate . Wheel bearing were exchanged by other repair shops unkowing to me of the recall.
