2012 Ford Fiesta Steering Problems

“Tie rods and sway bars wore out at 32k miles and 5 years ,1 month, as did original tires.. Expected longer wear than this on such a new car, as I have gone > 100k on my previous small Ford suspensions untouched.

I shut the car off and turned it back on and the problem persisted so I returned home driving approximately 15 MPH. …”

I was driving from toledo, ohio to the detroit, mi airport and back. I had two other passengers in my car who noticed the violent shaking/shuddering problems that my vehicle was having when trying to accelerate. The shuddering occurs at both low speeds and high speeds. The shuddering does not occur daily but roughly 4-5 days a week, causing difficulties with acceleration, breaking, and controlling the vehicle. …”
