Warning light appears "service advancetrac". Once. Then weeks later lost power steering while driving. As a strong man had to practically use all my body weight to avoid collision while almost standing. Got it towed to a Ford dealership. Diagnosis was defective electronic steering gear. Ford had recall on this same issue by recall #14s09, but my truck was not included in recall. This is a safety issue and could have caused an awful accident. Obviously the epas steering gear is defective and vehicles with it need to be recalled before someone has a major accident. The cost was $2583 for a vehicle with only 38897 miles. This is a safety issue!!.

2014 f150 with 61,000 miles intermittently loses power steering. Had it at the dealership twice until the condition happened. I was told that the steering shaft is failing and must be replaced (approx. Cost $1900). Doing research I found that there was a recall on the 2014 f150 (NHTSA id 14v316000) in which the steering assist was incorrectly assembled and must be replaced. Also, the recall only includes trucks manufactured between may 26 and June 19, I'm told my truck was not manufactured during that time and I am responsible for the repair.
Driving down country road when "power assist steering failure" light came on and instantly lost all power steering. Had to limp home and very difficult to maneuver vehicle.

Power steering fault and service advanstrac message displayed on start up while parked, lost all power steering in truck. I took to local Ford dealer, bob bell Ford, glen burnie, MD 21061. Dealer first diagnosed as bad battery and reprogramming needed. I expressed I had researched and found issues with epas as cause, was assured battery would correct issue. Once home the truck threw the same codes the following morning and had lost of power steering. I took back to dealer that afternoon. Dealer advised they needed to install new electronic steering gear part # el3z be replaced with part # el3z 3504. Truck is a 2014 Ford f150 with about 56k miles on it. I have found that there are numerous complaints (easy google search) about Fords epas gear in the f150 and other vehicles, causing an expensive replacement cost for the entire steering gear. To my knowledge there have been recalls on similar if not same part for epas on f150 and others. I would like to request your consideration into investigating Fords epas and holding them accountable for a recall and full payment of replacement parts. Total out of pocket expense was over $1700, after their initial diagnosis, replacement of battery, reprogramming, gear replacement and labor. Thank you.
Driving down road and lost power steering. Took all my strength to steer truck. Pulled over and discovered also lost turn signal, headlights didn't work. Two messages came up, check traction control and low battery power save mode. Might of been other things not working but didn't check for anything else. Drove it to Ford dealer. Again took all my strength to turn steering wheel. Was driving down straight road about 20 mph. Very lucky didn't happen on corner or when wife driving it.
