Lose Power Steering problems of the 2008 Mercury Mariner

Lost my power steering on the freeway. Problem: steering: electric power assist system failure - recall #14v284000 date of recall 05/29/2014 safety recall 14s05 steering problem Ford claimed this was not covered under the recall and I had to pay $2100 for this repair. The part replace were on the recall notice!!I I bought this car from caruso in Feb 2017 with 52,000 miles and the carfax supplied at the time of purchase had no recalls listed on it. The car only has 76600 mile now. I have opened a claim with Ford motor company but they told the service I was not covered. They replaced the steering column assembly. Ids check codes b2277 and b1342.

Lost power steering all of a sudden. I was parked in my garage and went to back out and no longer had power steering. Luckily I was pulling out of my driveway and I could pull back in to assess the situation. Had I been driving on a highway and this happened I don't think I would've had the strength to steer the car to my destination. The car has a recall in place for this but my VIN number doesn't seem to be affected. I am wondering why? I wasn't even notified of this recall back in 2014- recall 14v284000 I read the codes off of my vehicle and b1342 variable assist power steering module code. The other code is b2290 occupant classification system fault front passenger side (this may be an air bag issue) which I have told the dealer about in years past. I don't know what the safety risk is with that code.

Lost power steering as I was driving through a parking lot. Saw the message on the dash "power steering assist fault". Called Ford dealership to get my vehicle looked at but they are booked 2 weeks full. Asked about recall 14s05 but they told me my VIN was not part of the recall. I contacted Ford and they gave me the same information. Can not drive vehicle as it is too dangerous in winter. This issue seems to be very common with the 2008 Mercury Mariner and especially ones that were not part of the recall for the same exact issue.

December, 2013, I was exiting parking lot onto a main street that had 2 lanes of oncoming traffic. Halfway into the street, lost power steering but was able to drift to side of road. January, 2014 car would not go over 25 miles per hour, lost power steering. Fortunately I was near the garage that does my repairs, oil changes, etc. . March, 2014, steering wheel locked, no power steering, had to wait about a half hour until power steering returned. . . Kept turning car off and on every 10 minutes. Contacted Ford customer service 3 times by email (Jan-Mar). My last 3 cars have been Ford products but apparently brand loyalty is not valued. Replies were--sorry you are having issues-no follow up from Ford even when hey knew they were issuing a power steering recall as of April-may, 2014. I paid $2,500 in repairs from Dec'13-Mar'14.
