Power Steering Pump Problems of Ford Edge

Driving to work about ten miles of highway, my car started running rough and shaking. I was able to coast into a parking lot then my heater stopped working a warning light came on "engine coolant temp" then it died completely in a matter of seconds, I saw some smoke under the hood so I called for help. There was no other warning whatsoever! the mechanic told us that the water pump had gone out and caused the engine to over heat. It shot coolant into the engine and it was totaled. Again there was absolutely no warning at all. No sensors no anything. I maintain my vehicle with regular oil changes etc. And if there had been any warning light I would have taken it to my mechanic immediately.

It began suddenly when turning the car on with a high pitched whining sound. Upon taking it to the dealer it was said that the power steering lines were crimped and needed to be replaced. (it seems to me to be a defect belonging to Ford), however not the case. Had it fixed for $700. Now in February 2015 , they say the power steering pump is going bad and needs to be replaced along with a new reservoir and flushing of the lines. Again not covered by Ford. This car has been well maintained by the owner for oil changes and regular maintenance.

Started noticing a vibration in steering at slow speeds when pulling into or out of parking spaces. Took to the dealer for repair at 34,000 miles a few weeks later and dealer at first could not duplicate the issue, then with my help identified it as a power steering pump and replaced. The next day, say issue and they then stated it was a normal characteristic of car model. Warranty has since expired and has gotten significantly worse and mileage is currently 49k as I am a sales rep and log a lot of miles. I also began getting a loud popping noise in the front from both sides at about 38k miles, predominantly left side, especially when making low speed turns and/or going over small bumps, like when entering or leaving a parking lot. I have not taken it to the dealer for inspection but have had a local midas check for an issue twice with nothing found, but issue is also getting much worse.
