What owners wrote
While trying to make a slight left turn from curb side parking to get on the road, the steering wheel seized without warning and since I was not able to make it turn to the right I was hit in the front by a car coming from behind. The vehicle was turned off and resetarted. In addition when the cops arrived to the scene of collision they requested to see if the car can be moved and when I shifted into drive, the instrument panel displayed reversed and the vehicle moved backwards instead of forward.
Purchased 2015 ford focus in aug 2018 used, been driving fine for 8 months; car has less that 30,000 miles. On 4/10/19, I started the vehicle and the dash indicated a steering fault assist warning while stationary in a level parking ramp. No power steering all of a sudden. Called courtesy ford in davenport iowa on 4/11/19.
