Description of the problem | Two different incidents: (3/13/18) while driving, the power steering went out and the light came on "steering assist fault - service required". After that, pulled over and turned off the vehicle and waited a few minutes before turning back on. After restarting, the steering worked okay again. Had this later checked by astoria ford, and they could not find anything wrong (even after running the codes). Then on 3/15/19, got in the vehicle and started it and the light came on again. This time even after stopping and re-starting the engine (waiting @ 5-10 minutes) the light remained on and there was no steering. Currently, the vehicle is at a astoria aamco getting checked thoroughly by a very competent, highly experienced mechanic to get this resolved for our safety. |
