Tl the contact owns a 2014 Ford Flex. The contact's wife was attempting to start the vehicle however, the steering wheel ceased. The steering assist fault light illuminated along with another unknown warning light. The contact was able to start the vehicle and the vehicle was driven to Ford of dalton (925 shugart rd, dalton, GA 30720) however, the vehicle was not yet diagnosed. The vehicle remained at the dealer unrepaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 54,000.
While driving, I heard a strange noise coming from the steering column. Once I reached my destination and returned to my car and started it, the power steering assist warning light came on. I began to pull off, the vehicle would not steer, and I had to have my car towed home. The next day I called Ford to explained what happened and was told it would cost around $2,000 to fix. I googled it and found out the steering assist had been recalled for that year make and model. I then called the number associated with the recall and keyed in the code related to the make and model. A few moments later, a rep came on the line and asked for my VIN. He informed me that there was a recall in 2015 or 16 can't remember the exact year, but unfortunately, the recall was VIN specific, and my vehicle was not on that list. I found this news to be very disturbing, dangerous, and irresponsible for Ford not to replace or repair this faulty part in all of the 2014 models, not just those with a specific VIN. What is it going to take for them to correct this; prayerfully not someone's life?.
