2010 Ford ESCAPE Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Power steering suddenly went out while my wife and her client were parking at a retail store. Power steering has not returned since. My wife was able to park the vehicle safely but not able to steer it to move the vehicle anywhere after that (i had to wrestle with the steering to move the vehicle to a repair facility). The local ford dealership diagnosed this as a torque sensor failure. Recall 14s05 service was performed in 2014 in as much as the software for the system was updated -no parts were replaced. Ford has stated that the torque sensors in the affected vehicles are known to be faulty yet, when a unit fails (like mine) after the software has been updated, they refuse to fix it. My vehicle has just over 83,000 miles which is well below the reasonable life expectancy for a torque sensor. Ford customer service and recall departments have refused any further remediation.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
