general problems of the 2012 Ford Focus Electric

The steering wheel on my car is starting to lock up when you are driving the steerling wheel gets stuck and its hard to control the car,.

Twice since we have owned this car the steering wheel locks up after the engine is started. My wife says there is a message on the dash display about the steering. Both times she showed me the steering being locked up in the driveway of our home. I was able to correct the problem by turning off the ignition switch and restarting. She told me this morning it has happened to her while driving once on a highway at 60 mph . She was able to strong arm the steering wheel to the shoulder. I am extremely concerned about this problem. I still owe a lot of money on this car and I can't even give it away with this kind of problem.

I started the car this morning and the steering would not work. I came inside the house, looked up the problem on line and found a terrific amount of hits. I also saw that without warning the steering can stop all together causing an accident. I also saw that sometimes you can go back to the vehicle and start it up again and the steering problem may go away. This is very alarming. What if I am driving and the steering goes out? this, of course, can lead to injury or death to the driver or to others involved in a crash.
