Description of the problem | Power steering assist fault message came up on dashboard while pulling into parking space. Loss of power steering. Vehicle undriveable. After further investigation it appears despite a recall #14s05 being done by first owner in october 2014 same issue has again happened. Thankful this happened in a parking lot, not while going 65 mph on a highway. This is used by our 20 year old daughter who is still a fairly new driver. When we called ford they told us secondary repair is on us since recall was already preformed. Extremely disappointing that safety is not their first priority; secondly that they do not stand behind fixing what clearly seems to be a manufacturers defect that could lead to a very different outcome. Mileage tbd. Unable to read dash with error message. |
