Description of the problem	I was driving my 2010 ford escape when i all of a sudden lost power steering while turning with no warning. I was able to pull off on the side of the road then my escape began to make a "dinging" noise repeatedly after the vehicle was stopped and put in park. The car then showed "power steering assist fault" . My escape has not had power steering since this incident. I called the dealership i purchased the escape from and they informed that the power steering assist recall had been satisfied prior to me purchasing it with the reprogram and nothing replaced. I then called ford customer care who confirmed this information and that i would have to pay for the repair myself since the recall was already satisfied with the reprogram. When running a code scanner it comes back as the torque sensor code. I am currently barely able to drive the vehicle without the power steering and unable to afford the $1500-$2000 repair that i was told "might work" by the dealership.
