Steering Is Tight problems of the 2013 Ford Taurus

Started car got a light power steering assisted failed sterring wheel won't turn ! yes could put me and my family or other at risk! had more times started car an no code ,steering was hard to turn.

My warning light showing "power steering assist faulty" showed up about a month ago on my dash, I couldn't steer left or right. The wheel was very hard and scary too. I cut off the engine and restarted, and the warning went away. Same month, another warning showed up saying "service advance trac" and went off by itself. Two days ago the 29th of September, 2020 I drove my vehicle to work. At 17:05 I left work and started my engine, I got on the interstate and both lights came back at the same time. Power steering assist faulty, and service advance trac warning both came on. I couldn't steer left or right, neither could I use the blinker. These was the most scariest moment of my life as I almost crashed my car. I deployed my best driving skill to get my vehicle home without killing myself or hurting anyone. I made it safe to my parking lot, turned off my the engine and started it again, the fault was still there, the steering is very hard to turn left or right. Dealership said it's my power steering motor (racket pinion) and have to bring it in for replacement. The cost of replacement is ridiculously high and I cannot afford it. I had other professionals look at it, they diagnosed same thing. My vehicle is too young to have such life threatening malfunction. Lots of complainants have exact similar situation from the research I've made. Cost of fixing my car would break my bank. I don't have it and left with no option but to leave the car in my parking lot until I can figure what to do with it. If Ford is making vehicle to kill us, we need to know so we can at least increase our life insurance and buy casket waiting to die all because we bought our own death. This is the scariest driving experience ever. Now I have no vehicle, but left with options of rentals and doing whatever it takes to get to work. Not nice at all.

I stopped for lunch and when I came back out and turned on the car the power steering light came on. I could barely move the steering wheel and it was extremely hard to move the vehicle in any direction. I had my children with me and it was really hot outside so I managed to drive the vehicle very carefully to the nearest walmart supercenter where I could take the children inside and take care of the vehicle. The car got towed to the nearest Ford dealership where they informed me that it would cost me 2200 dollars to fix the problem because my car was not part of the recall NHTSA campaign number: 15v340000. This was extremely upsetting because the recall specifically says what parts of the vehicle are affected but is VIN specific. Ford won't do anything about it.

Car has 63,000 miles on it and now the steering is getting hard to turn and stiff and won't return after I turn while drving.
