“My power steering went out while driving which was very scary and dangerous for myself and other drivers. I know this has been a recall for earlier Taurus models 2011-2014 and I think this year needs to be included in that recall as well. The cost to fix is $2,500 at the dealership and during this covid 19 pandemic that is a lot of money.”
