The vehicle was being driven down the expressway at highway speeds and the steering wheel locked up completely. The engine remained running but the steering wheel could not be moved at all. Very scary experience, the vehicle was able to be brought to a safe stop and had to be towed to the dealership. The service writer advised me that this in not an uncommon condition among Ford vehicles (cars and trucks) with electric power steering.
The car was at a stop light when the steering power assist completely failed. I was still able to steer the car with much greater effort. The dashboard indicated a "steering fault service soon", and "traction control fault service soon" error message.
I was fully stopped and turning left at a stop light on a city street, the light was green, I waited for traffic to clear. During the middle of the left turn, I lost steering function: while I tried to turn left, the vehicle veered right. The right wheel struck the curb. The vehicle was then towed to a Ford dealership. The lower control arm and ball joint totally separated. The dealer claims this happened due to striking the curb, but this is not the case, it happened during the left turn.
Car was idling in park. Push button start/stop was pushed to shut off engine and at that instant, car was released from park, rolled backwards into tree, injuring right front passenger. No one in driver's seat.
