Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | I started my vehicle, reversed then put it into drive. A warning sensor popped up stating steering assist failure. The steering wheel would not move. I put the vehicle into park and restarted it. The warning sensor no longer appeared. I researched this happening to the same vehicle model and it seems to be an ongoing problem with the ford escape. Seems dangerous to not have a factory recall already , what if i were driving down a busy street or highway. |
