STEERING
RECENTLY, THIS CAR STARTED INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAYING THE "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" CODE AND AT THE SAME TIME THE STEERING WOULD SEIZE UP WHEN IN MOTION. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. ON INVESTIGATION, 2011 LINCOLN MKS VEHICLES WITH THE 3.5L GTDI ENGINE (MY VEHICLE) WERE SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED BY RECALL 15S18 WHICH ADDRESSES THIS EXACT SAFETY SITUATION. WHEN I CALLED BOTH THE FORD DEALER AND THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE, THEY INDICATED THIS VIN IS NOT COVERED AND THAT THEY COULD DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD IT BE COVERED (TRANSLATION--I GET TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIR). IT IS CLEARLY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. HOW CAN FORD JUSTIFY NOT COVERING THIS CAR WHEN THE RECALL WAS QUITE LARGE IN SCOPE AND CARS OF THE SAME YEAR, SAME MODEL, SAME ENGINE WERE SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL? THANKS! *TR

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT MY CAR IS INVOLVED IN THE MASSIVE TAKATA RECALL A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, AND HERE IT IS SEPTEMBER, AND I HAVEN'T BEEN CONTACTED TO GET THIS CORRECTED. THE RISK OF METAL FRAGMENTS HITTING A PASSENGER IS UNSETTLING TO SAY THE LEAST. WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG TO GET RECTIFIED? GOD FORBID I AM INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION WITH A PASSENGER. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WHEN I CAN EXPECT THIS TO BE RESOLVED. THANKS

STEERING
I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM A TRIP OUT OF STATE WHEN I WAS DRIVING I CAN FEEL THAT IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL IT WAS KIND OF STIFF. AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT GOT WORSE TO THE POINT TO WHERE IT HAD A MIND OF ITS ON AND THE LIGHT CAME ON SAYING LOSS OF POWER WHEEL STEERING. I THEN GOT OFF ON AN EXIT THINKING I NEEDED POWER STEERING FLUID STOP AT AN ORILEYS STORE AND BOUGHT SOME TO COME TO THE FACT THAT MY CAR DOESN'T TAKE POWER STEERING FLUID ITS ELECTRICAL. I STILL HAD AND HOUR TO GO BEFORE I MADE IT TO MY ONE OF MY DESTINATION, IT WAS A HARD DRIVE BECAUSE THEN THE STEERING WHEEL BASICALLY LOCKED UP.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHENEVER I DRIVE 55 MILES PER HOUR OR HIGHER DEPENDING ON WHERE I AM AND I ATTEMPT TO STOP THE VEHICLE OR I HAVE TO COME TO AN ABRUPT SLOW DOWN, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SLOW DOWN PROPERLY AND IT MAKES A REVVING NOISE UNTIL THE VEHICLE SPEED GETS TO APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES PER HOUR. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE LINCOLN SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEVEN (7) TIMES, SIX (6) TIMES FOR BRAKES, THEY HAVE DUPLICATED THE ISSUE SIX (6) TIMES, THEY SHAVED THE FRONT ROTORS THREE (3) TIMES AND REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS ONCE. THE LINCOLN DEALER HAS STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN OVER 60 MILES PER HOUR. I ALSO TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT HE DUPLICATED THE ISSUE AT HIGH SPEEDS AND THE ISSUE COULD BE THE TYPE OF BRAKES THE VEHICLE HAS ON IT. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND I FEARED FOR MY LIFE EACH TIME I GOT BEHIND THE WHEEL.

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY FAILS UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, OR TWICE WHILE DRIVING. BOTH TIMES DRIVING, I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MPH ON A RURAL STREET, AND WAS ABLE TO PULL DIRECTLY INTO A PARKING LOT THAT WAS PARALLEL TO THE ROAD WHICH REQUIRED LITTLE STEERING. IF YOU SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, AND RESTART THE CAR, IT USUALLY RESETS ITSELF. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT WHEN THE POWER ASSIST STOPS WORKING, IT TAKES EXTREME STRENGTH TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. I HAVE A 1965 MUSTANG WITHOUT POWER STEERING. THERE IS NO COMPARISON BETWEEN BOTH VEHICLES, THE LINCOLN DOES NOT STEER WITHOUT PULLING WITH BOTH HANDS IN ONE DIRECTION ON THE STEERING WHEEL.
