Took the car in for a oil change the dealer wrote up a list of problems need to repair on this car . This car was in the garage and driven weekly it only has 30,600 miles on it. I think it will cost me 2500 dollars to repair this car. I never had anything like this before with a car.

While driving down the road steering was stiff and then loosened up noticeably. Problem when making a right or left hand turn. Car would hesitate after turning. Would hear a grinding or popping noise while making turns. Contacted dealer and manufacturer, not able to help.

The shudder in the steering is bad when braking from higher speeds and causes loss of directional control, the replacement of the pre-load spring in the rack as per Ford's TSB did not work to correct the shuddering.

While driving on any highway at different times in a corner or turn in road, the steering just goes away; it feels like the steering wheel is not connected to the linkage for a split second, but then it returns and it doesn't happen again. Brought vehicle to dealer several times. Dealer said that there wa snothing wrong with steering.
