Complaint Summary
STEERING
Owner Narrative
MY WIFE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HER 2012 FORD FLEX POWER STEERING LAST WEEK. THE MECHANIC INSTALLED A NEW PUMP BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE MECHANIC THEN SEARCHED THE NHTSA DATABASE AND FOUND A RECALL NOTICE FOR 2012 FORD FLEX VEHICLES (STEERING POWER ELECTRIC SYSTEM). HOWEVER, THE LOCAL FORD DEALER SAID OUR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I AM HOPING THAT ENOUGH OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM SO FORD WILL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THE FORD DEALER AND THE LOCAL MECHANIC AGREED THAT MY WIFE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE DIFFICULTY WITH MAKING TURNS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE SO WE CAN ADDRESS IT WITH FORD.
