Description of the problem	I was driving my 2010 ford escape and went to turn a corner and heard a beeping chime and the vehicle became hard to turn. I was able to pull into a parking spot and turn the car off. When i started it back up and had problems turning out of the spot then it was fine. I drove it home and when i went to turn into the driveway it started chiming again and the power steering assist failed came on the dashboard. It won't turn or anything. I looked it up online and found out this is a common problem that has been going on with the 2010 escapes and there was a recall out on it. I called ford and gave them my vin number but they said it wasn't covered in the recall. I took it to my auto repair shop and they told me that the whole steering column has to be replaced. It's costing me $1,753.
