Power Steering Failed problems of the 2015 Ford F-150

Power steering fails intermittently, not very often but at random times. Mechanic said its the electronic power steering failure. Needs a new electronic power steering assembly. . . . . Only 40,000 miles.

Power steering assist failure. Loss of assisted power steering causing extremely, dangerous steering situation. Mileage, only 56,000.

While driving 70 mph with my cruise control on a smooth, level hwy my cruise control cut off abruptly causing an alarm to sound and a notice to service adv trac came up on my screen. At that moment I also discovered my power steering had failed causing the truck to become very difficult to steer. The rapid deceleration caused the car behind me to have to brake hard and get on the shoulder. Luckily there was no accident. I drove the truck home and called my Ford dealer the next morning and consequently took the car to them. I was informed later that morning that I had had a catastrophic steering failure and that my complete electronic power steering assist (epsa) would have to be replaced to the tune of about $2,000. The truck was delivered new in Jan of 2016 only has 45,000 miles on it and I doubt has ever been off of paved roads . I had no choice but to have it repaired and pay the bill. I contacted Ford to see if I could get some help and basically got a very weak response and of course no action. This failure occurred with absolutely no warning whatsoever and had it happened in traffic or in a more hazardous situation with a physically weaker driver at the wheel there would have almost certainly been a bad accident. After doing some searching I find that this is not an unheard of incident and based on my research would bet Ford is aware of this problem. At this point I'm ashamed that I have put so much faith in Ford and their products in the past.
