4 Transmission Failure problem

Failure Date: 01/10/2017

When I was leasing this vehicle the power steering system assault light started coming on then piwer steering stopped working and I had no power steering at all. My transmission also failed. Ford dealer refused to fix it because I was over the lease mileage. I was sent home with the car without power steering and in need of transmission replacement. The mechanic told me to pay the 3. 000 to fix it because I was risking my life. The manager said there was nothing he could do under the lease warranty. But it was a lease and I did not have the money for repairs. I later discovered 5 recalls for the car. I was only notified of two, steering and transmission. This was in the past few months when I no longer have the car. . Accidents occurred before the steering completely failed. Both involved the car moving without accelerating. It was on a town street at a light both times. I was behind another car both times as well. My car insurance has gone up because of these accidents and I have severe back pain from driving all those months with no power steering. But I had no choice as a single mother working many different locations requiring daily travel. Also, I have to look back for the correct date of when I brought the car for service and was refused repairs by the Ford dealership mechanic department where I leased it, even though the issues were car defects. Therefore, I entered January of 2017, since it was either during 2016 or beginning of 2017 that these issues surfaced. Also, one of these accidents where the car moved without accelerating did mot involve a police report, only the exchange of insurance information. The car speed is not saving in the box below. I was coming to a stop in one accident and was stopped completely during another. This is my best recall of the information.
