Power Steering Pump Problems of Lincoln Town Car

Tight steering/repaired by dealer 7/31/2017( recall # 13s08). . . Tight steering again 8/1/2018 was told by mechanic( non-dealer) was steering pump, turned out to be upper intermittent steering shaft, I believe when the lower was replaced it would have made sense to replace the upper as well, looking for reimbursement for at least part $310. 10 to be paid to mechanic @ joes auto mall /new bedford MA.

Power steering went out on vehicle. Vehicle had 39,000 miles. Power steering went out while vehicle was in motion on roadway making it very hard to steer and control. Had it towed to dealer who replaced power steering pump and stated that this was not under warranty and stated that this was a common occurrence for this year model.

I was proceeding south on interstate 71 halfway between cleveland and columbus, at 55 mph. The road was dry. All of a sudden, the car started drifting towards the right. When I turned the wheel towards the left, there was no immediate response. When the car responded, it started drifting towards the left. I had no steering control of my car for about 10 seconds. Fortunately, I was able to straighten the wheels, and regain control. I had my mechanic inspect my car, and he determined that the power steering pump and its associated electronic control switch had to be replaced, as their malfunction caused my loss of steering control. I've since had those parts replaced. I no longer have the old parts.
