Randomly the steering locks up and loses power steering - usually on a turn left and right - issue lasts 2 to 5 seconds and then returns to power steering. A hill decent failure warning light appears and then a service advancetrac warning light. Also feels like the brakes are being applied automatically. Very dangerous in traffic.

I have a 2013 Ford f150 fx2 and when driving the past few days, the "power steering assist fault" signal came on and I automatically lose power steering in the truck. This has happened when starting the truck but also while moving and driving on the road (roughly 40 mph). Luckily, I was on a low traffic road to where I could get over however, this could be extremely dangerous on a busy highway. If my wife was driving at the time, she wouldn't be able to manually pull the steering wheel and get off the road and potentially get into an accident. Based on research, a lot of Fords are experiencing this and action needs to be taken!.
Upon start up, when leaving walmart parking lot hill descent control fault and service advance trac came on the display.

I am taking it to local Ford dealer ASAP!.
The steering automatically stopped working while driving on expressway at 70 mph. As I exited the highway, the steering countinuly was lost of power steering. Luckily, I was able to make the truck drive home, but was very risky to drive trying to avoid driving off road, or avoiding car accident. I had no choice but to drive into work today, and feel this truck it's completely not road safe. The Ford service center has told me the electric steering system epas needs to be replaced, and I am not willing to pay for this service since the truck has 45,000 miles . I have googled this epas electric steering question, and come to find out this problem seems to be in all of Ford pick up trucks, which Ford will not address this matter. What am I supposed to do? keep driving ? what will geico insurance say about this if I cause an accident? who would be the victim? me, the other driver's , Ford, and geico pays the bill? thanks ,.
76000 miles. Driving home and lost all power steering. Luckily close to the dealership. Limped in and they got it right in. The advance trac light was on and they checked it for over an hour. Finally, they said the epas system has failed and it costs $1900 to replace it!.
Twice in the last week the a warning to service the advance trac system came on and lost power steering. Making it almost impossible to drive home. The next morning it worked fine, no warnings. I am afraid to let my wife or kids drive it for safety reasons.
Received message "service advance trac" and "hill descent control fault" when turning left on city street and lost power steering ability making it nearly impossible to turn and control vehicle causing me to run up on sidewalk. Took to dealer and was told epas failed and would require $2k to fix steering column.
I have lost all power steering while the truck is in motion. The service advance trac light comes on. I have had the steering gear replaced twice now and this is in the last18 months, each time costing over $1700. It is very dangerous as it has always happened while I am driving. There have been recalls for the same thing in other years and there are all kinds of complaints to be read.
The service advance trac light came on when I started up my truck for the day. I lost all power steering control and the blinkers stopped working. My truck is a 2013 F-150 with only 38,000 miles. This is a serious safety problem that Ford knows about and you, the NHTSA knows about the problem. It is time that something is done about this safety problem. Is everybody going to wait like gm did until there are multiple fatalities before this is addressed? do something!.
