Electric power assist steering (epas) completely out and wheel can barely be turned. No power steering. My Flex was sitting on the top floor of a 7 story parking garage. I started it up to move down to get a closer parking space next to the floor I was accessing. I cannot afford the quoted steering column $3000 replacement I was given. Some recall is out but does not include all Ford models with this application, including mine. You call Ford for help or assistance and they read off their given answer. . . Your vehicle does not fall under the recall.

We have a 2014 Ford Flex with 41,000 miles. My wife was driving two days after getting her oil changed at galpin Ford and the power steering went out. She called them and they said turn off the car and wait a minute and it will reset it self. She did that and it worked. Two days later it went out completely so she tried to turn it off and on again that's when the stability light went on and said it needs service. The person at Ford telling her how to reset it tells me they have had several complaints about this. They want me to spend over two thousand dollars to replace the steering column!!!!!!! they won't even come get the car to diagnose it. They want me to have it towed or drive it to them.

The steering became tight and difficult to steer the vehicle. I brought it to the shop and after investigation they said the entire steering shaft needs to be replaced. Ford says the whole steering column has to be done. Ford needs to expand the recall as it is affecting more models.

I have a 2010 Ford Flex eco boost. The electric assist power steering is going out. The problem began sporadically and then became more prevalent. It usually occurs at low speeds. The force required to turn the wheel when it goes out is ridiculous. It can be especially dangerous when pulling out into traffic. Initially, the power steering would go out for a short distance (less than 1 mile) and then come back. Then, it remained out for a 3 mile period before coming back. There are no warning lights on the dash when this happens. I just went to a Ford dealership, and they quoted $2,200 to replace the entire steering column. However, their diagnostic equipment didn't raise any warnings either. So, this was just a guess on their part. I took the Flex in to address some tsbs, after which the power steering worked again for about 1,000 miles. Six months later, it went out completely again. Took the car to an independent mechanic, who hooked it up to the latest diagnostic equipment, and again everything looked good - no codes. The power steering is completely gone. However, on start-up it will occasionally come back for one turn of the wheel.
