| Steering problems |
The contact owns a 2017 Lincoln Navigator. The contact stated that upon start of the vehicle, both the "hill start" and "service advancetrac" warning messages appeared on the instrument panel. The steering wheel had become stiff as a result of the failure and the contact used excessive force to steer the vehicle home. The contact initially assumed the failure was related to battery; however, after replacing the vehicle's battery, the failure persisted. The contact then called the dealer who informed him the failure was likely related to the steering rack. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 162,000.
