FOR A WHILE KNOW MY CAR WOULD RANDOMLY STOP. ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD DECREASE IN SPEED AND THEN SHAKE AT WHICH TIME I WOULD PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN AFTER SOME TIME I AM ABLE TO START THE CAR UP AGAIN AND GET BACK ON THE ROAD. NO MECHANIC CAN ACTUALLY FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR SO THEY JUST KEEP TELLING ME TO COME BACK IF IT DOES IT AGAIN. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUEL FILTER SO I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC TO USE FUEL INJECTION CLEANER IN MY CAR. I HAVE DONE THAT AND IT APPEARED TO WORK HOWEVER IT STARTED UP AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE OFF AND ON FOR A WHILE BUT CAN NEVER FIND THE ISSUE. I AM WONDERING WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. I NOTICED THAT WITH THIS MODEL YEAR EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I LIVE IN HOUSTON AND OUR FREEWAYS ARE NOT THE BEST PLACES TO BREAK DOWN.

POWER STEERING FAILED *WHILE DRIVING* VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREA. ACCORDING TO FORD SERVICE, THIS WAS PARTIALLY DUE TO THE RECALLED SENSOR FOR POWER STEERING (ACTION 15N01). HOWEVER, THERE WAS ALSO PHYSICAL STEERING GEAR BINDING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH SIMILAR REMEDY (ABOUT $2,000 TO REPLACE ENTIRELY). THE PHYSICAL ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE FORD RECALL (FSA TITLE: EPAS STEERING EFFORTS), BUT IS HAPPENING WITH SUFFICIENT FREQUENCY TO OTHER VEHICLES TO CONCLUDE THAT THIS POSES A CREDIBLE SAFETY RISK.
