NHTSA complaint: 2012 FORD FOCUS — STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
WHEN DRIVER ENTERED VEHICLE, STARTED IT, AND BEGAN TO STEER, THE SILVER FINISH ON THE RIGHT SIDE, TOP OF THE STEERING WHEEL CROSSBEAM HAD SPLIT AND CURLED UP, WHICH CAUSED LACERATIONS ACROSS TWO FINGERS. THE CAR HAD BEEN FINE ON PREVIOUS USE, AND HAD BEEN UNUSED FOR SEVERAL DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE FINISH ITSELF. *TR
