ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T TURN AFTER STARTING UP MY 2012 FORD FOCUS SE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, AND THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED AS IT SHOULD. HOWEVER, THE NEXT DAY IT DID IT AGAIN. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THE ELECTRONIC RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON ISSUE (THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE), YET NO RECALL FROM FORD. DISCOURAGING.
