I parked my car on the driveway yesterday and when I went out to use it today I can not turn the steering wheel. Dash shows "power steering assist fault". After investigation on the internet, I see numerous complains and lawsuits regarding this exact issue. Thank god I was not driving the vehicle when the steering assembly failed. I understand Ford has voluntarily recalled model years 2011 through 2013 to repair this issue, however my 2010 VIN was not included. Apparently replacement of the failed ps assembly is the only option and the cost is over $2,000. Even after replacement, I don't feel confident the issue won't happen again base on numerous user comments that had their care repaired. I believe the NHTSA is investigating this issue and has over 850 filed complaints. What is the status of that investigation?.
I previously reported the steering failure on my Ford, and I was gratified to see Ford recalling the 2011 and later models of this car for this steering problem. When I had my steering harness replaced on my 2010, however, my mechanic said it was the same part as the 2011. If so, why did you not recall the 2010s as well? it was the first model year of the car and suffers from the same problem.
