About a week and a half ago, we started getting an error message that the Adaptive steering fault requires service. We contacted our local Ford dealer who says it could be an electrical issue. But can't see us until Nov 1st. Additionally, when driving straight, the steering wheels ( Ford logo) is turned to the left. It is worrisome but the dealer says it's safe to drive. I don't think so. In doing our research, we've found that this seems to be an issue. I shouldn't have to pay for theses repairs whether through my pocket or through my extended warranty. Which will be out of pocket either way, because I pay for this through my car note and would have a deductible.

The steering wheel will click softly and act like it skipped a tooth on a gear. I am told I could lose steering control all together and its possible to just lock up as I'm driving which could lead to an accident or worse. Estimated repairs are from $2300 to $ $3000 + taxes. From research it appears this has been a problem across multiple models of Ford products from the time this system was initially installed back in 2008.

2018 Ford Edge Sport AWD, 7600 miles +/-. While driving home my wife experienced an Adaptive Steering fault with the steering wheel misaligned about 20 Deg clockwise (pictures available). Upon arrival I confirmed the fault which cleared by turning the steering wheel back and forth several times. The next morning the fault reappeared. Also the driver's seat belt fails to latch properly, takes several attempts and the driver's door is difficult to open from inside. Took car into the dealership for inspections, replacing the steering wheel assembly and the seat belt assembly, realigned driver-??s door. Vehicle has been repaired.

Let me start by saying your sales team was great, made the car buying part of this easy....maybe too easy in that I made a quick decision to buy without researching what complaints there were about this vehicle. I am a home health nurse and traded my Honda Accord in to your dealership as I needed something with more room to store my work supplies while still maintaining decent gas mileage. I have never been more disappointed in a new car. I was so pleased with the service during the purchase. But this car is not what it is claimed to be. They claim 20-29 mpg, which is why I purchased this to stay within a reasonable gas mileage. I am not even getting 16 mpg!!!! the car blows warm air all the time, unless the ac is on. The air also blows a faint motor/gas smell. My rear window squeaks when you roll it down. I can not afford to be filling up twice a week, especially after the amount of money I pay a month for the lease payment. Then today, my steering wheel locked and wont move up/down front/back!!! sadly, I feel I should have listened to my husband and stayed away from a Ford. I hope you can steer my a direction in which this can be addressed. I already have an appointment with a Ford dealership (who happens to be a good friend of ours), but I'm not feeling too confident at this point.
