While driving locally and on a straight road at 50 miles/hr, I suddenly lost power steering ability. I was also notified via the dashboard communication system "steering loss - stop safely". I was able to muscle the car off the road and eventually back home. I called the Ford dealer to be told this happens and would be an expensive repair. I also researched and see that this is a prevalent problem with Ford and chevy vehicles. As far as I'm concerned, the loss of steering capability - suddenly, without warning is a serious safety issue and needs to be addressed by the manufacturer. We are talking the inability to control a 2000 pound sledgehammer when this occurs.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle lost power steering assist.

The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
My vehicle has lost the use of power steering while in motion. The vehicle becomes very hard to steer manually and must be pulled over and restarted to attempt to bring the power steering back online. It has happened a couple of times on city streets and highways. Restarting the car does not always bring the power steering back online. It is extremely dangerous to lose power steering while driving down the road. The dash warning �power steering assist fault� appears during the event that the power steering malfunctions.
