John J. Fahy, the then-Bergen County, N.J., prosecutor who pushed hard for a power-steering recall at the time, said that while the cause of the current power-steering failures is different, the effect is the same."It sounds like a very similar problem," he said.

"That's what the problem was â€" the sloshing around caused the lack of capacity," Fahy said."It waved back and forth, and there would be a gap of air."He said Ford fixed the sloshing problems in subsequent models after the publicly, but he added Ford may have created a similar new problem.Fahy even described the safety issue the same way, contending it was the officer's reaction to the steering lockup which created the safety problems, not the lockup itself."You overcompensate and tug on the wheel, and that's when you get out of control," Fahy said.
