The contact owns a 2011 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that while driving at speeds above 55 mph, the front end of the vehicle would violently shake and vibrate. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who replaced the brake pads and brake calipers however, the failure persisted. The mechanic later informed the contact that the steering box was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 93,000.

The steering wheel will turn from right and left uncontrollable driving into a rain storm the steering wheel turned all the way to the left l could not hold the steering wheel spun me around three times and hit a guard rail.

Intermittent steering issues with the electronic steering, which causes the steering wheel to violently jerk out of your hands while driving. When it fails, its near impossible to turn the wheel. Happened several times in all driving situations - driving on the highway, stuck in traffic, pulling into a parking space, etc. It's extremely dangerous for my family, and ridiculous Ford hasn't issued a warranty for their steering issue.

When car started and I put it in gear it started going but steering wheel would not turn( it was not in locked mode. )it flashed check trac system -chech engine cut car off then back on it was ok. Later I tried to crank it , it wouldnt start read where if you got out locked with key waited till lights went off unlocked it with key it would crank did this and it cranked took it to Ford place put it on computer said was a problem didnt know what would have to check every wire in car could cost up in the $3000 or more. Still doing the dance to crank car. Works most of the time sometimes have to do it twice. The steering has done the not working thing like 3 more times just hope the steering wheel does not lock up while I"m driving I have done everything they suggested on line but it hasnt fixed the problem there are a lot of cars that are doing the not starting seems to be the security system causing the problem like tho the Ford place knows nothing about the problem. Suggested I get rid of the car which I cant afford to do.

The contact pulled to the side and called a friend who towed the vehicle to the contact's residence. The contact called a local dealer and was told take the vehicle to the shop for diagnoses.

When the car was about 3 years old, I started to feel a quick loss of power in the steering when making a turn. It had only lasted a second and only happened at low speed in parking lots but happen while I was driving so I took it to the Ford dealer in fullerton CA. They said it was a software problem and they updated the software. The problem disappeared but then reappeared about a year later. I continued to drive it cause it was only occasionally at low speed for a half second in parking lots. Then in the morning of October 16, 2015, the steering of the car locked while I was in the middle of the street for about 5 seconds. Two yellow warning lights then came on in the dash and the steering released. One warning light said "service advance trac. " I slowly drove it to the Ford dealer in fullerton on residential streets since it was nearby. I no longer felt safe to drive the car. I told them the problem. They kept the car until October 20. The mechanic told me he had to change the entire power steering system because of an internal failure and the charge to me was $1733. I complained but had no choice since I needed the car repaired. I have seen very similar complaints on the internet about other Mustangs. Ford recalled several other models earlier this year for the same problem; ¿a potential intermittent electrical connection in the steering gear¿ that Ford says ¿might result in the loss of electric power-steering assist while driving. ¿ these models included 2011¿2012 Ford fusion, 2011¿2013 Ford taurus, 2011¿2013 Ford flex, and 2011¿2013 Lincoln. I believe Ford knew of the problem but decided to pass the cost of repair to affected customers rather than do the recall of that model. This risked the life of myself and others because it resulted in a loss of control while driving. I believe I am entitled to the cost of this repair from Ford. Thank you.

While attempting to make a lane change on the freeway at 70 mph,, I had to make a correction and move back into my original lane due to someone wanting to change into the same lane at the same time. The front end swayed back and forth out of control. Almost had an accident. This happened again at 65 mph on 09/14/2012. On 10/03/2012 I bought the car into the dealership I bought the car from. They investigated this problem and said the Mustang v6 model has a tendency to do this and said it would take about $700 in parts and labor to possibly fix this problem. . I filed a complaint with the Ford district manager and he disagreed with the dealership saying there are no handling problems with the 2011 Mustangs.
