I was turning my 2011 f150 around in a lot when a steering error warning poped up on dash along with a stability control error. Steering froze and I did not have steering control. Took all effort to force vehicle to turn and avoid a collision steering was extremely hard to turn with a loud buzzing noise and limited turning range (about 2/3 of normal range left and right. Drove home this way (about 15 miles). Was extremely difficult to control vehicle and very nerve racking. Being a mechanic I scanned codes and it appears that the electronic steering gear failed. This is a very dangerous system I shudder when I think of the consequences had I been driving at highway speed. If there is not a recall for this issue there should be before someone is killed. I included the scanned codes below.

My 2011 Ford F-150 ecoboost steering is sticking pretty bad when I make a left turn. It varies between a gradual left turn to a sharp 90 degree turn, but I always have to "pull" it back to the right to straighten the vehicle out. It seems very scary when you meet a semi and the steering sticks and I'm afraid of over correcting the vehicle. I had a close call the other morning so I parked it to avoid any future mishaps.

Takata recall my steering is hard to turn in park in street or in motion on a highway.

I was driving my 2015 Ford f150 when the power steering failed. I was driving on a curved road when the failure occurred, and I almost lost control of the vehicle. The code, "steering assist fault, service required" appeared. Days before, the steering felt tight. I had also been experiencing issues with the wiper blades turning on, and failing to turn off. I am the original owner of the truck, purchased it two years ago (almost to the day), and it currently has less than 38,000 miles. Ford will not honor the warranty because the dealership could not get the truck in for service until after it rolled over 36,000 miles. Luckily, I am an experienced driver with a commercial license or the complete steering failure would have resulted in an accident and damage to the vehicle and bodily injury.

Occasionally when steering the truck to the left, the steering will feel like it is sticking. It becomes hard to turn to the left and when the turn is complete, the vehicle will not return to center. On one occasion when I first started the truck and began to back out of a parking place, I could not turn the steering wheel to the left at all. I shut the truck off then restarted and the same thing. On the second time I shut the truck off then restarted, I could turn the wheel normally. There seems to be a problem with the power steering or some mechanism of the steering.

While driving, steering is tight and vehicle is radically pulling to the right without warning, the dealer has replaced the gear assembly three times, steering pump assembly and now consumer is awaiting a new factory steering gear, consumer also states that the original pump assembly and original steering gear have become weak/soft/sagged.
