What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford mustang. The contact stated that the vehicle was making a loud metal-on-metal grinding noise. The contact also indicated that the failure was progressing. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who diagnosed that the passenger's side ball joint, bushings, suspension, shocks and both control arms would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred three days later.
Driving on highway as I was exiting the car powersteering gave out and was left with no manubility. Was able to power thru and get to the dealer right at the corner of the exit. Dealer said it did part was not covered under power train warranty because technically it does not make the car move. But with out it you can't move the car no possible steering.
