1 Power Steering Failed problem

Failure Date: 07/09/2019

I was picking up my son after work. I had driven roughly 45 minutes and parked waiting for him for roughly 10 minutes. After he got in, we drove to the end of the street and turned on to the main road. 2 warnings popped up suddenly. 1 for power steering failure and 1 for stability control failure. Steering instantly became extremely difficult to control. I was able to pull into a gas station, and popped the hood. I wasn't aware at this point it was electronic power assisted steering. I quickly realized there was no power steering reservoir. I turned the car back on and steering control seemed to be restored. So I continued on. As I turned back on to the main road and the power steering failed again. Luckily I was only going about 500 feet down the road and managed to pull it in despite the increase in steering difficulty. The power steering failure has been present ever since.

Driving on interstate and warning light came on dash saying power steering assist failure. Power steering immediately quit working at speed of 70mph during a land change and almost lead to a crash. No prior earring this system would fail. Not safe.

3 Power Steering Failed problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2018

On a number of occasions in the past 30 days my 2015 Taurus has has a loss of power to the steering system which makes it difficult to drive it happens at low and high speeds it happened at my sons graduation in a parking lot full of students and parents and could not steer the car it also happened on a main road traveling in my lane around a hard turn in road and the steering failed I stopped the car on the shoulder by slamming on the brakes thank god no one was behind me and it happened at the grocery store turning into a parking spot on 2 occasions the way to make it work again is if you turn off car and restart it and it's fine till the next time a light comes on on the dash that reads power steering system failure I contacted Ford about the problem and I was told that it wasn't covered under warranty and there was no recalls in and that it needed a new steering gear and rack and it would cost me 1500$ to do the job I have looked into any recalls online and they did have a recall on a the power steering asssist on earlier models of the Taurus 2012-2013 so makes me think that they know there is a problem and won't issue a recall are they waiting for someone to get hurt or possibly killed as I said previously the power steering fails at all speeds and gives no indication that it is about to happen something should be done thank you.
