Ford KA Steering, Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres Problems

When I go round a corner in second gear above 5mph the car will literally loose control!

On a rough road or a jerky gear change the brake warning light flickers, definitely full of brake fluid and handbrake down.

the yellow steering wheel symbol on the dashboard comes on when driving

On a journey when turning, the steering wheel locks, the engine fails and all electrics go off. After stopping the engine can be restarted and everything seems fine. It happens again some time later!!!

When braking brakes make a grinding noise

Right, this is one that's been confusing me for well forever. My 2002 Ford Ka had a problem where as it would suddenly veer to the left or right as if blown by wind. I took it to the garage, they did the tracking, it went again. Also in thi...

Hey, Hope someone can maybe shed some light on a steering issue I have been experiencing. Whenever I turn left or right, the steering wheel will not centralise itself and will carry on in the direction that I had turned. I have to p...
