One for Ford Mondeo drivers and Ford dealers perhaps? Recently bought a 2003 Mondeo, at a fair price for the mileage and age. VGC, and drove well. More recently steering issues have developed, pulling to one side, rough notchy patch when steering one direction, etc, and to make a short story boring, my mechanic has now fully investigated everything to do with the steering, and all looks well, so his assumption is that whatever the problem is (and he confirms there is a problem) it is in the steering rack? This is apparently a whole, complete rack which may need to be replaced, €600 to €700 plus LOTS of labour (it will involve an almost complete front end strip down). Anyone have similar problems with a Mondeo? I understand that an 06 Mondeo at local dealer had a similar problem recently. Is it possible that Ford may acknowledge this to be an inherent fault, and therefore contribute to (or cover?) the cost. Full Ford service history to date.
