3 Steering Failed problem

Failure Date: 07/23/2018

At just over 71,000 miles our 2015 Ford Focus se electrical steering rack failed and needed full replacement at an out of pocket cost of almost $1800. During a turn on a city street, the steering failed and make it almost impossible to turn the steering wheel, making this part an obvious safety issue. Had it gone out at the wrong time, a serious accident would have taken place. We have contacted Ford and voiced our concerns but they would not agree to compensation for an obvious safety issue because the part in question was not yet recalled. We have since parted with the car after the replacement of the failed part, fearing the safety of driving the vehicle any more. Upon research the problem, we found similar instances on car complaints. Com including the well known transmission failures on this vehicle. I believe a similar issue occurred in Ford Focus models before 2015 and also on their fusion line of cars in the same range of years of around 2013-2015 I would like the NHTSA to look into the 2015 Ford Focus for a recall on the steering system and submit to you that you will not be short in finding 2015 Focus owners with the same issue after a quick search on the web.

4 Steering Failed problem

Failure Date: 07/09/2018

2015 Ford Focus. Driving home, almost crashed head on due to loss of steering in my vehicle. Purchased new 3 miles in June 2015. Still trying to get service for recall on powertrain, always told parts are not available or service requests backed up. The vehicle is unsafe and can cause fatality on the road. My current mileage is 53,181 and in no way should the steering system fail. My car is in the shop at the dealer and the cost for repair is $2100. 00 plus tax which I do not have. I have researched and found many complaints about the same issues I am reporting. There should be a safety recall on the steering system. I'm struggling each day getting rides back and forth to work and I no longer feel safe with my child in an unsafe motor vehicle that could cause crash/collision. Ford needs to take responsibility for defects and recall all Ford Focus 2015 so that others consumers can get their car repaired. As I stated before I almost crashed head on due to steering failure. Not safe to drive on the rode.

5 Steering Failed problem

Failure Date: 12/07/2017

The steering went out once before. I took it to a shop and they said it corrected itself. However I was driving down us1 south and the steering went it while I was driving at 55mph. This car isn't unsafe and needs to be recalled. This is twice the steering has failed while I was driving without warning.
