I was being to accelerate after stopping at a stop sign, when the steering froze then violently turned to the right. When the steering turned to the right I inadvertently pressed on the accelerator pedal speeding up slightly to approximately 15 mph. During the split second that this happened I was able to wrestle the vehicle back towards the road barely missing a telephone pole, but I did strike the guy wires that support the pole. This caused about $800 in damage to the vehicle and no defect could be found by the service station. When the steering did go out it was the most difficult thing to steer that I have ever driven including old large truck with no power steering.

I was driving home 11-28-18 5:40pm pst when my vehicle suddenly swerved hard to the right; I had no control, & it caused me to hit a parked unoccupied car. There was no warning. I had not hit any object nor pothole. Vehicle is 6 months old. Suspension gave way. Parts of suspension were laying on the street. Right front wheel was at a 90 degree angle due to suspension failing. My husband was in the car with me. I was driving 15 mph. I have photos; 2 are attached to this form. I have filed a claim with my insurance company but I am unable to attach that document. No police report.

The warning lights intermittently come on in April 2018. Mostly check engine for several months. Took to auto zone got a read out for sensor. But aaa repair shop wouldn't use their report and when I took it to them, light wasn't on. So they didn't look at it. Was gone out of town 6 months. Light off and on. Randomly. Oct 2018, heading cross country back home to AZ. Lights started coming on more often. More lights, ABS, skid, seat belt, within the week, very random off and on. Then more lights would come on. Auto zone again gave me a sensor report, O2 and fuel. While waiting in bank line, , whole panel of lights came on. Acted staled, but was running, could push gas and run, but couldn't steer, babied to a parking spot, even the mileage odometer went to slash marks and no numbers. I took a photo. Turned car off and waited to try to call for assistance. But after few minutes, worked fine. That next week, I was driving on freeway and it did the exact same thing, whole panel came on, dashes for numbers and no steering> scared to death. Still could push gas and braked, few seconds felt like minutes. Lights went out and car drove fine. Left at a mechanic and he changed oxygen sensor, diagnosed the stalling, check engine light back on and other codes. R/R oxygen sensor, air/fuel system service flush, and computer / programming update. Ran me $568.70. Lights still randomly come on, brake ABS, skid, and the parking brake light comes on. I parked the car and bought a new one. Where can I take it. I need to sell it to help pay for other car, but don't want someone to get hurt while driving this one. I looked up kbb and saw 3 recalls on one was pcsm sensor and when I called Ford dealer, he said no recalls for it. Please help. I'm desperate.
