While driving through a puddle and turning a corner, water was sprayed into the engine compartment and disabled the power steering. Luckily there was no one at the corner or I would have hit them, with the sudden loss of steering. Ford has a tsb, but this is a life-safety issue.

The dealership had installed an aftermarket rear spoiler on the vehicle without disclosing this information. After having problems with the third brake light in the spoiler in learned it was not a factory part. The dealership stated to me that it was factory. I was not able to get the part replaced until I called Ford directly and threatened to sue the dealership for fraud.
