Power steering failed on 2015 Ford Focus. Safety issue loosing steering capabilities driving from road into driveway. Steering assist faulty message appeared on dash. Called Ford motor company and said no recall on defective steering. Took to Ford. Dealer and quoted me $2573 to repair. Luckily my teenage daughter was not traveling on highway when this occurred. Ford needs to take accountability on this defective steering issue before someone gets injured.
Power steering failed. My grandson pulled into a parking space and a warning light illuminated. We discovered it was the power steering. Thank goodness we were not driving when this happened as we had been running errands all day.
At 56,000 miles, the vehicle's power steering failed. This resulted in heavy and inaccurate steering inputs which could result in an accident. Ford is quoting a repair bill in excess of $2,400. I do believe that the problem is related to the recall in 2018 affecting 1/2 million Fords and the recall from 2014 affecting over 1 million Fords for similar steering related issues and premature failure. I have never had steering fail and have owned many vehicles over 200k miles including my 1989 f250. The technician said upon inspection that the steering gear was full of water and dirt causing corrosion. I'm a normal commuter on everyday roads. He specifically said it's not anything that I could have done that caused the problem. He said the boots were completely in tact and he couldn't comment on how the contaminants entered the steering gear. This leads me to believe it is faulty design. If it were anything other than steering or brakes, I probably would not be voicing my concerns in this forum because this represents a huge safety concern. Ford must cast a wider net with regard to existing recalls and the 2015 Focus should also be included. As of this writing there are 47 other reports to NHTSA for this car and problem.
I went to the store just fine when I left the store it was almost impossible to turn the wheel and a alert came on the screen and said something about the power steering assist fail thankfully I was not far from home I had to use every muscle I had to steer it and make turns. I took it in for diagnosis I was quoted over $2200 and would still need and alignment and computer rest 😡 my car is stuck in the driveway till I get the extra $2200 to pay for it thanks Ford for my first car experience.
I was driving down a county road, traveling about 25 mph as I was about to make a turn, when my power steering completely fails. I nearly drove straight through a metal fence trying to make the turn to get off the road. Now when I turn my key forward my cars computer sends a message saying "steering loss, safely park vehicle" the issue I am referring to by checking "unknown/other" is a shuddering transmission. Everytime my car is going through first gear the transmission shudders. This gets much worse when when my car is close to being due for an oil change. Ive serviced the car regularly and some months had to get multiple oil changes to try and combat the transmission shuddering.
