What owners wrote

Steering and computer aided systems along with tires that were not disclosed to be used under 40 degrees caused loss of steering input and control which lead to hitting a curb and damaging suspension components as well as the drive-ability of the vehicle is worse that before. There are known issues with the steering on the 2013 focus st and after 6 months of going back and forth, ford cannot remedy the situation and the care is unsafe to drive at any speed as the lack of steering control cause unnecessary movement…
