2014 Ford Flex Steering Problems

“The steering arm broke off of my right front tire while I was driving in a parking lot. The car snapped forward and the tire was lodged in the frame. I could not move my car. My car has 59,000 miles. If this would have happened at a high rate of speed, it could have killed me.”
