STEERING
AFTER DRIVING TO XYZ LOCATION 3 MILES FROM MY HOME I PARKED MY CAR FOR A WHILE TO PICK UP STUFF FROM THE PLACE. AFTER AROUND 30 MINUTES I JUST DROVE MY [XXX] FORD CROWN VIC 2006 P71 AN EX POLICE CAR FROM THE PARKING LOT. JUST AS I JUST ACCELERATED AND TURNED THE VEHICLE TOWARDS MY INTENDED DIRECTION ALL OF A SUDDEN I COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL ON MY STEERING WHEEL. RECENTLY I HAVE HAD A RECALL ON A STEERING WHEEL SHAFT AND I GOT IT REPLACED AT FORD DEALERSHIP; FURTHERMORE I PRESUME THAT LOOSING THE CONTROL OF STEERING WHEEL THIS TIME IS RELATED TO THE PREVIOUS RECALL REPAIR. I LEFT MY CAR AT FORD DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG PASSIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM DEFAULT ALARM LIGHT AND ALARM SOUND GOES OFF WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAPPENED RANDOMLY MULTIPLE TIMES OVER A PERIOD OF 6-18 MONTHS. SOMETIMES I FIND BLOWN FUSES, OTHER TIMES ANALYTICAL TOOLS SUGGEST BAD PASSIVE RESTRAINT GROUND. CURRENTLY UNKNOWN CONDITION AND UNKNOWN IF AIR BAG SYSTEM ACTUALLY WORKS. CAR HAS EXPERIENCED DOZENS OF FAILURES LIKE THIS, DIRECTIONAL FAILURES, PARKING BRAKE FAILURE, GAS CUT OFF FAILURE, COOLING FAN FAILURE, PAINT FAILURE, REMOTE MIRROR FAILURE, WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH FAILURE, DEFROST FAILURE, HEAT CONTROL FAILURE, IGNITION FAILURE, AND MANY MORE. PASSIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM FAILURE IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY I HAVE BEEN PERPLEXED BY. OF ALL THE FAILURES, FORD ONLY ACCEPTED THE GAS SHUT OFF FAILURE. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO KEEP THE AUTOMOBILE OPERATING. *TR
