 Description of the problemI took my car into my mechanic for a horn problem and while there he told me that there is a problem with the power steering. I had issues with the steering locking up before but thought it was is a stuck gear or something till he told me it was because of the epas. He had mentioned it could lock up and i never said anything about it to him before. It's locked up a few times but the most recent one was not even a few months ago. I thought it was just cold and it had to warm up a bit as it was rather cold out. Looking more into this there was a whole lawsuit out of ca for this same issue with the same year and make of cars. They threw it out even though ford said they knew about the problems. That was back in 2017 and yet the cars still have this issue and they have done nothing to fix it. Ford should have to fix this but they want me to pay over 2,000$ to have this fixed. This is a huge safety concern. I don't even let kids in my car any more because you never know what will happen. I have no other transportation and i have to worry constantly if it is going to lock up again. I have tried to get a hold of someone at ford about this issue but they all say the same thing. ' there is no recall so there is nothing i can do. You have to take it to ford to be fixed. ' i have had issues after issues with this car yet they know about all it's problems from the radio to the transmission and they still do nothing till people are getting hurt or worse.
