While driving 65 mph started to change lanes, and noticed another vehicle in same lane, and swerved back to the right. As soon as she turned wheel to right she lost control of vehicle, it went across 2 lanes of traffic to left, and hit a tractor trailer head-on . Airbags did deploy. Consumer and passenger sustained minor injuries. Consumer stated it felt like vehicle was on ice. Prior to this, when driving over a bump, vehicle was hard to control.

Poor front end alignment, vehicle starts to go from side to side while driving. Has not contacted dealer yet.
Consumer states that car pulls to the left, dealer found no problems with tires and was unable to duplicate complaint on road test.
While driving could hit a pothole or bumps and chassis will make vibration, and could feel the vibration on the steering wheel.
Dealer (bob sight Ford) told me this is a common problem with Ford and Mercury and that Ford has re-designed the front-end components. This repair cost me $966. Ford has still not offered a recall despite many failures of these parts.

Steering is very hard to control, it goes where bumps and dips take you. Car will jump all over the road. Steering has constant pull to left with lots noise. Also steel to steel slamming noise. Steering colum inside car moves. Dealers look make some adjustments,say found no problem. But problems continue. I returned for repeat preformance. Very rough ride front and rear . Electrical problems surfacing, lights flickering,dash,dome headlights etc. , engine cut out as if I turned it off and then came back on each time ihave been sitting still, talk about a dangerous driving situation! again the dealer checks it out finds no problem says they cant always find a problem until it happens and they have the car when the problem occurs. Alot of good thats going to do driving down the highway at 60mph with 5 kids in the car!!! the air conditioning doesn't cool well at first they said no problem the weather got very hot ,they set an appointment. They found low pressure replaced low prssure clutch switch. I took the car in again for poor front end and steering control now adding to the list aloud slamming together of 2 pieces of steel coming from the left front tire area either going over bumps or dips I can't tell which because it happens randomly. The solution, the dealer checks the right side! so the car goes back again .

There is a constant feeling that the tires and front end are both out of alignment and tires out balance(they are not) causing a constant rough ride on the smoothest pavement beginning at 55mph. Dealer has changed tires twice re-balanced tires 4 times and re-aligned 3 times. Can you check.
Vehicle pulls to the left while driving.
The consumer stated the front end of the vehicle was lower than normal which caused damage to the front end when parking. The dealership provided a temporary fix by putting shims under the front end. While driving at 15 mph in the rain, the vehicle suddenly lost power steering. The consumer had to use excessive force to steer. This resulted in injuries to the consumers arm. This failure was due to the tensioner pulley falling off. The parts were replaced. The driver side seat belt plate failed to lock in the buckle. The dealership replaced the entire seat belt assembly. Also, front rims have excessive brake dust. Dealer inspected brakes, but weren't able to duplicate concern of consumer.
