When starting my truck I am now getting a hill descent control fault and service advancetrac. Also shows a weak battery but the battery is new and has been checked okay. When you get these warnings the power steering becomes inoperable. Also no turn signals work. I’ve not been able to get it into my local Ford service as of this time. If I keep switching it off and recranking the warnings go away and all is well. What I don’t understand is why anyone would build a vehicle that would shut down your steering because of a warning that goes away. I have since read about other people having this happen while actually driving and losing steering and some power. This could be life threatening if your going about 70 miles an hour in the middle of traffic. I don’t understand how it’s legal to build a vehicle with this system.

Steering is very sticky when turning left or right. Seems like low on fluid. But no pump is on this.

The steering went out. It felt like I had no power steering and was barely able to steer. The steering would not come back to neutral. It was almost impossible to drive.

Intermittent loss of power steering function.

During driving the steering randomly locked up. Steering was not just stiff (as would happen with the conventional loss of power steering); the steering felt locked as if the ignition was turned off and the wheel turned to lock in some vehicles. Happened while driving through the city and turning corners the first two times, third time was while trying to parallel park. Locked up while turning both to the left and to the right. These three occasions happened during a 10 minute period. Unlocked similarly randomly (attempted cranking harder on the wheel, jiggling, power cycling the vehicle; no link to any of these). A few weeks prior to this trip, the steering became suddenly notchy (found hard spots in rotation of wheel that I popped over with more force) while driving ~straight on the highway, returned to normal when driving home. Then over the following weeks the wheel stopped returning to center and became stiff all the time and notchy frequently. Attempted replacing intermediate steering shaft, thinking u-joints were binding, but did not fix notchy, stiff steering. Diagnosis at mechanic revealed electronic power steering was nonresponsive to electronic communication and not responding to commands when communication was established. Replacement of power steering unit fixed problem.

As I was driving my steering wheel locked up and I could no longer turn and on the screen display was power steering assist fault.

Steering started getting tight the week of January 20,2020. It does loosen up slightly once you drive it for a few miles but it is not 100%. It is super hard to turn in the morning or after sitting 8 hours while at work. But I estimate it takes driving it about 6 to 10miles before it get easier. I have 73,000 miles on this truck and according to VIN. Date no recall on steering issue.

Power steering stops working intermittently making steering difficult and accident likely.

I was pulling out of a parking structure as I turn right and then try to sraighten into the street my steering wheel was not abel to turn n was making a funny noise as I tried to and almost crashed had to yank the steering wheel hard and was barely abel to turn enough to not hit a car now car is just abel to go straight. From my knowledge it has to do with the electric power steering the trucks come with and looked into it as I was parked as close as I could to the side of the street that the trucks are known for them giving out with no warning n a recall was done on a certain batch I called Ford n dey said no my truck has no recalls n read up that the recall number was 14s09 n was happening to alot of those truck models.
