We began to have difficulty steering our well-maintained Ford C-max just after starting when backing up in our driveway at around 63,000 miles. We reported it to Ford and they said it just was that the electrical signal takes awhile to get to the steering. Before 70,000 miles the �check steering� light went on. Before we could get it to the dealer, the power steering failed completely. Fortunately this happened while we were backing out of our driveway. We have read that this problem happens frequently and there was a recall of other 2013 Ford models for this same issue. The dealer says the repair will cost us approximately $3,500. We believe the Ford C-max should have been included in the recall.

While driving the car to the grocery store, a warning light appeared on the dashboard that stated power steering system failure. The steering intermittently locked up but with significant effort, I was able to steer the vehicle.

Power steering failed without warning. Luckily I was going very slow at the time, but needed to abandon vehicle, undriveable without power steering.

When starting the car one day, I got a message on the dashboard that there was a power assist steering failure - steering was manual and very heavy. No codes present and the problem seemed to go away. It came back again another time while driving and went away again. The power assist seems to be working but is "sticky" and the wheel stays locked at first when the car is started. Took it to the dealer and they said that the steering gear failed and needs replacement at $2300+. The car has only 45000 miles on it. This is clearly a faulty part.

43,500 miles the power steering has failed; it began a few thousand miles ago, where it would intermittently not work after starting the car, but then within a few minutes it would begin working. Now it happens more frequently for longer. Dealer service has reviewed and has determined the (est. ) $2000 parts need replacing.

Power steering failed while driving on a 70mph highway. No warning or indication. The steering just cut out. I was travelling with my 2 year old son in the back when I basically lost all control over the car. It was near impossible to navigate to the side of the road. I had to stop the vehicle in the middle of a busy highway. A gentleman had to stop and help me get the car to the shoulder. The car is three years old and we were told the power steering is shot. We will have to have it replaced and it will cost $1,700.
