Regarding manufacturer's recall number 18s08 (steering wheel separates from the steering column. I called the local Ford dealer in lynbrook, NY to have the safety repair and was informed on 3/21 that Ford had not sent the parts and that they were not expected for "months. " I then called Ford's national customer service line to complain about the safety issue. I was told a letter would be sent after April 30th about when the parts would be available. This is not a timely manner to correct a major life-threatening safety issue. This car is issued to me by my employer.
While driving, the steering wheel started to loosen. It almost felt like it was going to come off. I was traveling on I-94 from milwaukee to the chicago area, so it was flat road, good conditions. I dropped my speed to 55 as I was afraid to go the posted 70 mph with the steering wheel as it was. When I got home I had it towed to the dealer and they said the bolt inside the steering column was loose. They fixed it.
