Steering Rack And Pinion problem #1

Rack and pinion epas failed--gradually at first, then completely. This part has been recalled in other Ford models but not in mine--yet. The repair bill was $2800. It happened within a few days of 3-yr warranty expiration and I filed a claim with Ford. They reduced the cost by $2000, but I still have an $800 bill to pay today, as the car has been fixed. I feel it should be all covered under a recall exemption. Shop is serramonte Ford, 999 serramonte blvd, colma, CA 94014. Repain # 227 328.

Steering problem #2

I was driving to work just gotten off the freeway in the city of cerritos and all of a sudden a warning came on and said steering loss stop safely and then it locked up and pulled to the right. I almost hit the car next to me but was lucky. I was able to get it to the side of the road using all my strength but it was terrifying and someone could have really been injured or worse. I have only had it 2 and 1/2 years.
