After reading Ford recall 15s18, it was a dead ringer for my problem. I lost power steering while driving at speed (45 mph) and nearly didn't make a turn. The dealership confirmed the issue was indeed the issue related to recall 15s18 and did the work. They replaced the steering gear and reprogrammed a module exactly as the recall prescribed. The bill was $2450 and when I brought up the recall they pointed to the fine print which said that the recall was good for 10 years (which I was within by 2 years) and 150,000 miles. I was a mere 7000 miles over the limit so they would not claim it under the recall. I was never notified of the recall or I would have had it fixed. The car had been to the dealership for years for oil changes and service, yet they never once thought to tell me there was a safety recall?!? I called Ford customer service to see if they would be reasonable but they denied me too. A safety recall, which is the fault of the engineering design of the vehicle, should be covered regardless of mileage!.
