Focus

Vehicle delivered on 6/1/01. Soon after I started experiencing problems with the steering gear not being stable. The car and steering wheel would shake once I would begin picking up speed at approximately 60 mph. The vehicle was taken into the dealership for repairs on two occasions for front end repairs on 8/16/01 & 2/14/02. On 5/26/02 I loss control of the vehicle and had an accident on the expressway, hit the median and totaled the vehicle. Prior to the accident I noticed a great deal of vibration on the steering wheel/column and the car was shaking.
