Turn Signal Switch Problems of Ford Taurus

This failure is a safety hazard. While driving the power steering stops working at random, the electric windows quit working, and the seat belt light comes on! they all appear to be related to this mlp/tr switch. I searched the internet and found 4 other occurrences that were reported. When I call the local Ford service garage, the service manager knew exactly what my problem was and sold me the sensor switch. He was aware that the power steering stops working when these symptoms occur. I experienced the power steering failing on a turn and had much trouble controlling the car. I'm worried that my daughter would not have been able to control the car.

The turn signal switch won't stay in place under some conditions. Most commonly it won't stay if the steering wheel is at the opposite direction, eg. Trying to put it at 'left' while the steering is still toward 'right'. It happens to me often because I need to make a sharp left turn right after I leave my garage, while the latter is a sharp right turn. Sometimes this problem also occur even the steering is straight ahead. It occurs when the car is brand new so I doubt it's a design flaw.
