At speed of 40+mph and uneven highway or when encountering a manhole cover the rear of the car sways and shimmies left to right in an extreme manner. noticed much worse with new tires that grip well. have had it inspected by a professional who says all vital parts look okay. 4 wheel alignment did not remedy. i see references to a design issue with the upper control members that make it impossible to reach a correct camber setting. i don't trust much on the internet though, and would like nhtsa guidance or further information. thanks for any help you can provide, i appreciate it.

I started engine today and got notification that "steering assist" needs attention. i just recently took my car to dealer for recalls on door latches, windshield wiper motor, and transmission. they kept it 2 weeks and i had to pay $393.00 for repair of broken motor mount and wiring diagnostic because linkage to computer failed due to short. i have attached the dealer invoice for these services. on seeing problem with power steering assist i looked on internet and see that ford has issued recalls for motor mounts,steering assist problems, and faulty wiring issues on other ford models but not for the focus. i have not received recall info for the motor mount, steering assist problem, or wiring issues for my focus. should they not be required to do so if they have issued recalls for other ford products with the same issues?

I was leaving a parking lot doing no more than 5 mph when the car made a sudden jerking motion. had the car towed to a garage. the damages were severe rust, sub frame rotted, right front axle broken, right front control arm broken, sway bar bent. the tow driver said the wheels could have fallen off my car and i could have been seriously injured or killed because of the thing that went wrong. i put myself and my family in danger with this death trap. supposedly this car was inspected february 2018. with everything that went wrong with it and the damages, i dont see how it could have been. i believe there to be fraud involved and believe this matter should be investigated further for putting lives in danger. i paid $3,000 for this car in the middle of feb. 2018. it is now august and it had incurred $3,000 in damages. i sold the car for salvage at $125
