While traveling at 55 MPH, entered a curve my steering completely locked up causing me to collide with the guard rail. Not only was I put in danger but everyone traveling Kentucky 114 that day was as well. There have been several complaints on the same make and model cars and Ford has done nothing to correct it. There was no warning lights no anything. My car was total and my life was at risk, when Ford was well aware of the steering problems.

On the 24th February, 2022, I was driving my 2014 Ford Taurus taxi cab on the highway to go pick up a client.

The first incident resulted to a minor damage, and the car was taken to the shop for fix
