Police cruiser: when turning corners, the steering wheel is very tight and hard to turn. Would have to force it manually, to original position. This makes it hard to drive or control vehicle.
Problem involves the federal safety agency recalls 98i001000 and 98v322000. Dealer and ford say my car does not have these problems. I do not want to take the chance of having my steering control fail, or having my brakes fail. Please help. Also, the transmission has an extremely long shift from first to second. Ford has a tsb on this, and states this will not affect the transmission,but it will shorten the life and lead to possbile accumulator bore scuffing. Thanks!
