My vehicle has loss of steering control. Found recall for this issue on line, however, my VIN number does not correspond. I called NHTSA and they suggested I file a complaint. My vehicle has no external leaks or worn or torn suspension parts, it must have internal damage to steering gear. Ford does not show a recall. I will be repairing my vehicle in the meantime, ones vehicle is very necessary to get by our day to day business, however, I need this issue resolved.

There has been a "creaking" sound coming from the front suspension area for over a year. I'm very good at getting my car serviced. At the last tire rotation, I had this checked out & the tech pointed to the problem-said it was a drying out of seals, but posed no driving problem. Still, creaks like crazy. Tech said greease wouldn't solve the problem. I am the origial owner; I have less than 48 K miles on the car.
