   My adaptive steering light came on and my steering wheel turned to the left like I am turning left. I am on social security and can not afford to pay 4000 dollars to have this fixed. Ford has a recall on 2017 edges for this. All these steering wheels are made just alike. This vin# should be included in the recall. I do not want to have an accident due to them not fixing this vehicle. Please help me with this. Thank you.
