I purchased this car in February 2017 and one week later, I was pulling into a parking spot and the power steering failure light came on and the power steering ceased to work. The car had 116,000 miles on it. I couldn't drive the car and my husband had to come and drive the car home. After looking on line, we discovered the power steering recall 14s05 that existed. After more research we found this car did have the software update in 2014 so Ford says it has satisfied that recall and will not fix this. We had to pay to have the torque sensor replaced. Since the software update only warns of the problem existing and doesn't fix the faulty part(s), I think it is absolutely unconscionable for the NHTSA to allow Ford to say they satisfied the recall without fixing the faulty part(s). This makes consumers think the NHTSA really doesn't care about our safety. The only way for the NHTSA to fix this is to strongly encourage or do whatever it takes to issue another recall to actually fix this injustice. Ford, we as many others, have purchased numerous Fords to buy american and trusted you would do what is right for your customers!! this makes all of us not want to buy Ford any more. Do the right thing and issue another recall, or open the previous recall to fix our cars or reimburse us for the money we had to spend to fix the faulty parts you put in our cars!!!!.

I own a 2008 Ford Escape. My wife was at work and when she started to drive home noticed the steering wheel difficult to steer. Luckily she was driving straight on the highway on the way home. She did notice vibration of the steering wheel. I took it for a test drive and noticed it was very difficult to steer or turn at low speeds. Also the steering/powertrain wrench light had come lit. It was evident the steering assist had malfunctioned. After some research I became aware of an electric power assist safety recall on 2008-2011 Ford Escapes. Which is the exact same issue I'm having on my 2008 Ford Escape. I contacted the local Ford dealer and was told that according to the VIN number there was no recall announced for my vehicle. This makes exactly no sense to me because its the exact same issue and vehicle for which the recall was made. I'm basically on my own to fix at this point.

I purchased my 2008?Ford Escape last year 2015. I have replaced both cv axils on each side and I had my steering column replaced. I purchased the car with 95,000 miles on it at a great deal of $8,900. I then found out why it was so cheap from such a trusted dealership. The dealership was closing in the next 2 weeks. It closed shortly after my purchase and a new Ford dealership opened in its place. Through out the last few weeks my car has not been driving correctly, especially on the highway. I took a closer look and noticed that no matter my speed my car will not go above 3rd gear. My power tran light came on today. I have read on other sights that there were recalls on this issue. I do not think these issues were fixed while being recalled. The related I've done so far have not been cheap by any means. After a year (even less 2 of the above cases) I should not be having these issues. . Read more...

I went to my Ford garage at about 100,000 miles complaining that the power assist steering stops working sporatically. With no warning the car steers manually, with no lights that go on. After starting the car sometimes it would drive fine and sometimes it would revert to manual steering. Took it to the garage knowing something was wrong and they tested it and told me there was nothing wrong with it. Again it happened at about 115,000 miles and when they tested it they said nothing was wrong with it. I told them there is something wrong with it, whether the code is showing up or not. About 2 months and 123,000 miles the vehicle was recalled for power steering assist fail, which I knew was the problem with the car from the beginning. At that time, they said again, they performed the recall and nothing needs to be fixed. Now at 128,000 miles the power assist fail light comes on and stays on and I only have manual steering. I took it to the garage for which I thought would be covered repairs and they stated that Ford will not cover the steering column replace, which is needed, because the recall sensor was replaced the last time I was in. To me that is not fixing the problem at all, it is simply now able to tell me there is something wrong with the vehicle, which I knew about over 28,000 miles ago. The garage says it is totally up to Ford to decide if they will pay for the recall and they say that they are not responsible. This is not how a recall should be repaired. They are not covering what is actually wrong with the vehicle, just the sensor that tells you something is wrong. According to my paperwork when I received the recall, if repeated problems the steering column should be a covered recall by Ford.
