Steering Noise problems of the 2014 Ford Focus

�tamara recall�. Recently the first week of July 2019 I left work and noticed I cohsot turn my steering wheel. I called red hill Ford and I spoke to one of the new guys and explained to them my power steering was going and it was making grinding noises. They actually told me to drive my car down to the dealership with what I told them. He told me it wasn't my power steering and that it could be something else but I knew since my car was hard to steer and the grinding noise it was making. I drove from allentown down to red hill on route 29 and it was a long ride there. Second, because they told me it cost 2 grand which I didn't have they were going to have me pick it up and drive it again knowing how it was not drive-able. Luckily my parents came through and paid it. Seeing the recalls I never received anything about my power steering rack. Shouldn't this been covered under a warranty or covered since there was a recall? there is no warning light that displays on the dashboard for the power steering and this is dangerous not knowing when your power steering rack is going. Please get back to me and if this should have been covered per the recall. I could have be badly hurt and or hit another car!!.

Power steering rack noise backing car up steering car or just driving had to have car towed to repair shop.

On 8/24/2018 I pulled into a gas station and filled the car up. As I was leaving I heard a grinding noise as I turned the steering wheel. I had never heard any noise from turning before. As I drove home 4. 7 miles there were no turns, but the road does wind a little bit. As I was driving I noticed the steering felt a little "loose" and a little unresponsive. There were no lights or warning so I continued home where I would look at it. Where the road curved I could hear a grinding sound as turned the steering wheel. No sound was heard while driving straight. When I got to my block I made a right hand turn and the grinding noise was very pronounced. When I turned left onto my street the noise was just as pronounced. When in my driveway I turned the wheel while parked and the grinding sound was at the same level. I turned the engine off and turned the steering wheel right and left and the grinding noise was the same as when the engine was running. A couple of days later I read about the possibility of it being a steering assist fault. I started the car and checked for warnings and lights and there were none. I turned the steering wheel and got the same grinding noise. The next day I jacked the car up to visually inspect the steering linkage and cv axle. No play in the cv, nothing visibly broken in the steering. I tried turning the wheel with the car on the jack stands and now the steering wheel would not move at all. I removed the stands and tried again to turn the steering wheel left and right, it would not turn either direction.

At 42000 miles my car developed some noise with the steering. There was rubbing noise coming from behind the steering wheel whenever I was turning at low speeds such as when I'm pulling in or out of parking. When I took the car to a Ford dealership, I was told the noise was coming from the steering rack and it would need to be replaced. I'm aware there's a recall 14s18 that addresses this issue, but my car isn't covered because it wasn't manufactured at the date that affects that recall, so I'm asking for recall 14s18 to be expanded to include vehicles built at the same time as mine.

Heard noise in steering and tires took car to be checked out was nothing wrong that is how it sounds and drives. This was 2 months after getting the car. In March 2016 turning a curve car steering got hard and locked up hit curve busted axlle and steering component. Replaced axle thought that was all. Then had car taken to Ford I was then informed of $3000. 00 in damages and labor to fix it. I did not proceed to getting fixed . The service manager proceeded to throw the keys at me and got pissed because I wouldn't get car fixed right then. I found out about the issues on the internet looking into the car parts and any issues with the car. The car was in motion.

Noise coming from steering wheel when turning; shuttering; struggling to accelerate; transmission stalled out on a hill; remote lock button found non functional at times; bluetooth non functional.
