June 6 2023 -- While making a tight turn the POWER STEERING LINE "POPPED" with no warning creating a loss of steering and braking capabilities and placing us in danger. There is a Ford recall (22S08) for several vehicles of this same make/model but our vehicle was not included and we don't know why. It has taken a Ford shop nearly 4 months to repair.
