The vehicle was transported to a salvage yard. I am of the belief that the ball joint failed. We have always maintained the car at ford authorized dealerships and even replaced the ball joints recently. This car has a…

The message, "od read error" would display on the dashboard, power steering would go out and brakes would not respond well (it was as if the car had turned off). When shifting from drive to park or reverse, the…
