My truck had a total powering steering failure today(4-12-2020). No advanced warning. The truck was being driven when the failure occurred. Thank god no accident!.

Tl- the contact owns a 2018 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the power steering goes out without warning intermittently. The contact stated that while turning at a traffic light, the power steering failed mid turn and the vehicle drove into the opposite side of traffic. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and gave him phone numbers to other dealers to have the vehicle serviced. The contact was unable to schedule an appointment with any dealer. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 24,300. Jo.

Ford automatic engine off at idle feature causes power steering failure when active. When engine reactivated upon hitting gas the power steering is delayed. This is a problem when waiting at stoplights for a turn. , especially a left turn into oncoming traffic. Requests to Ford to allow deactivation of the feature as opposed to having to manually disable it every time I enter the vehicle has been ignored. This feature can be dangerous and there is no reason Ford can't reprogram the bypass. Instead they choose to ignore while allowing this dangerous feature to remain active by default.
