ON A 2004 FORD EXPEDITION, WHEN MAKING A HARD RIGHT OR LEFT TURN, STEERING WHEEL TENDS TO STICK IN HARD TURN, SUCH THAT IT BECOMES DANGEROUS AS STEERING GETS STUCK AND DRIVER HAS TO WRENCH WHEEL BACK TO AVOID CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *AK FORD DEALER SAYS THAT THIS IS A ANORMAL VEHICLE REACTION. IN MY ESTIMATION THIS IS DANGEROUS AND FORD NEEDS TO RECALL 2003/2004 EXPEDITIONS TO FIX PROBLEM WITHTHE POWER STEERING.
