Description of the problem | Power steering going out with no warning. It was stationary at the time. I stopped for coffee on any to work. After turning it off and restarting it several times it returned to normal. When i took it in to have it checked. I was told nothing wrong. This has happened several times since the first occurance. Always stationary and or at a red light. I have taken it in and same result. It needs to be brought in when the problem acures. The steering is electric therefore the need for fluid isn't a fix or cure. When this happens it's not impossible to control but very difficult to do so. This is a can be a dangerous problem when on a hwy going 65 or 70 mph. In closing let me state that i am still waiting for the last recall to be fixed. I received a letter over 2 years ago. Received one call from akins ford letting me know they were short on parts and they haven't come across any problems with any that were fixed and i would be called when a opening was available for my vehicle to be fixed. To date no calls from them when i called to asked about it the person or persons handling the recall doesn't reach out to me on this issue. |
