Went to start vehicle and the vehicle's fuel pump did not make a sound. Checked the fuses to the fuel pump and they checked out good. Took a power probe to the fuel pump and fuel pump worked. Discovered it was the fuel pump relay behind rear seat on passenger side. Replaced and it fixed the issue.

steering 4 complaints shown
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.
Was in the parking lot at work preparing to leave and started the car up and the battery light illuminated and displayed check charging system. The steering wheel was locked up and wouldn't budge. I turned off the ignition and turned it back on and the car was able to move and I drove it home. Will be taking it to the dealership today.

Driving 40 MPH power steering went out almost causing crash off roadway. After regaining control, moved to shoulder. Turned off car, turned on car, then was ok. Then happened again when leaving work - sensors on and no reset this time. Had to carefully limp it home. Tried replacing fuse for steering - but didn't work - will need to go to dealer. Just went out to get picture of codes - but it's working again. Something is terribly wrong electrically!

cruise control 1 complaint shown
When we come to a stop (not moving at all) and ease up on the brake the car moves forward. This has happened three times causing accidents. One time the car moved into the house causing damage to the car, garage door and knocking bricks off the front on the house. Two other times, at stop signs, the car moved forward and bumped into the car in front of us. I am afraid this will happen again causing more damage. Have you heard of this happening with other cars? This happens to both my husband and myself. We are not driving this car any different then we have any other car. *tr
