Lost steering while parallel parking on a busy street with numerous warning lights appearing on dash, including steering fault. This occurred at 9000 miles after only 6 months of driving this brand-new car. Car had to be towed through my aaa membership to saybrook Ford otherwise the free Ford customer assistance would have towed it to the nearest dealership & I expected to be treated better at the dealer where I bought it. The car was in the shop for a week while they tried to diagnose the problem which the mechanic said occurred in a tight turning radius. The guidance the dealer received from Ford was to replace the steering harness. The car is now driveable but I no longer feel safe and don't trust the car. The regional sales manager we contacted refused to let us out of the lease-to-buy option on advise of counsel. If I experience any similar issues I plan to invoke the lemon law under the state of ct since steering is a core safety component.this problem was ultimately electrical in nature similar to other Ford model years that have already gone through recall so I am afraid this is a continuation of a long-standing problem for some Ford cars. This car is a tank without steering, so it is very dangerous. Buyer beware!
