Description of the problem | The electric power steering assist failed and the power steering fault message appeared when backing out of my garage. After turning the ignition off and starting the car again, the problem resolved. My ford dealer found code u3000:49 stored. Required replacement of the entire steering gear at a cost of $2559. 47, including alignment. I feel fortunate that this happened in my driveway. If it had been on the highway it could have caused a serious accident. The service advisor said that this was the first escape he has seen with this problem, but i have found numerous accounts of similar problems on the internet. |
