The car has developed poor return to center when turning. It also seems to be sticky in normal highway driving, that is, a minor correction seems to stay until corrected the other direction. This makes the car wander back and forth. I had one mechanic in town diagnose it as lower steering shaft and I have an appointment with my local Ford dealer to evaluate the problem. I note there was a recall for this problem for 2005 and later model years. There have been accidents from steering failure reported.

In curve on highway lost control of vehicle and went into adjacent lane before regaining control. If there had been another car in that lane would have collided with it. Took to Lincoln dealer. They told me steering corroded but was told that the vehicle is not part of recall. Also called Ford motor and they told me same thing. The repairs cost $2000. Lincoln dealership said vehicle not safe to drive.
