Description of the problem | While driving uphill on a narrow mountain road i lost all power steering assist with a simultaneous audible warning and a dash visual warning that my power steering assist had failed. With difficulty i was able to exit the road into a private driveway. I turned the vehicle off. In a few moments i started the vehicle again and everything functioned normally. I took the vehicle to my ford dealer on or about september 10, 2012. They told me i needed a new steering assembly. It has been on back-order since then. No additional faults have occurred. The vehicle now has over 12,000 miles on it. |
