Description of the problem | Takata recall: while i was driving straight on the highway, my steering wheel stopped responding. It just stiffed up and i had little control of it and it was very hard to make turns. Also i noticed some type of malfunction message on the lcd display saying something about the steering wheel stopped working, switching to assist mode, and to take it in for service. I took it to the ford dealer the next day and they said i needed a whole new steering rack, but from reading the same problem that other users of the ford focus 2013 experienced and from my repair invoice, i suspect it has something to do with the (electric power-assisted steering) epas |
