I was driving on the freeway and my steering wheel froze, I was not able to move it. It was the scariest thing. There was an immediate ding in my car and it said power steering assist fault, or similar. I was able to get to work (thank goodness) and called the Ford dealership, I called my insurance company and had it towed to them because the steering wheel was so hard to turn, I was afraid I would not be able to turn left or right. I do not know if they will honor recalls from reading numerous issues with responses I have read, they are no longer honoring them. I am a 2nd owner of the car and did not know anything about this. This should be an ongoing recall, this was very scary and if my kids were in the car. . . This is a huge safety issue. . . Without warning it goes out? this could have ended a lot worse.
