The power steering assist is malfunctioning and it is available for inspection upon request. The steering wheel is very difficult to turn, it's as if the power steering assist is keeping the wheel from turning. No, but I spoke to someone at Ford and they said that it sounded like my car should be in the recall that was announced for my vehicle type but my VIN was not included in the recall. My car has not been inspected by anyone but it says right on the dash board digital display that there is a "power steering assist fault". Ford does this with many vehicles they recall, a lot of vehicles that should be included in the recalls are not and we're supposed to foot the bill for their lack of concern for public safety? it's going to cause an accident but it's my only working car and I can't afford to pay for their mistakes. How many have died due to their negligence I'm wondering.
I recently purchase 2010 Mercury Mariner. There is a few errors appearing on the screen in front of the steering wheel. One of the error is "check fuel lines. " it also has an error about the tire pressure sensor. It also rides roughly, but the wheels are like new, so it feels like the suspension or shocks have something wrong with them. Also, there is a lot of play in the steering wheel when driving it. When I went to check on the recalls in the system by putting in my VIN, it shows that there are no recalls on my vehicle. However, these errors and issues are connected to the recalls for my vehicle. I am sure that these recalls have not been taken care of for this vehicle and they need to be fixed.

"power steering assist fault" message appeared, and the steering became stiff, indicating the power steering stopped working. This happened while coming down from a snowy mountain pass, which put myself, my passengers, and other vehicles at risk. Even though there was a 2014 recall for this problem, I was told by Ford dealership that there were no open recalls on my car (indicating it was either fixed and broke again, or my car was never included in the recall-- as I purchased the vehicle secondhand, I am unsure which it is). It will be a $1200 fix fat this Ford dealership for a known and dangerous problem that should, but won't, be covered by the previous recall. There should be an easier way to track fixed recalls through the NHTSA VIN lookup program.

Has my grandma was driving down the highway going 60 mph the streering wheel locked on here and wasn't able to move it. Luckily she was at the last lane and able to get on the emergency lane and not car hit here. I did research on this and it said that many other year make and models had a recall. For some reason they didn't do a recall on all of them just some some done at some parts of the state when they are all made for the same company. If you can let me know how or why her SUV ain't under the recall. If she didn't have that bit of luck that day she could've be injured very bad and injured others as well for the steering wheel just to lock while driving. This happen in san antonio TX on highway 35. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly; 3 - VIN corrected, error in one position (assuming check digit is correct); 14 - unable to provide information for all the characters in the VIN. #vpic#.
The other day my grandmother streering wheel locked on her Mercury as she was driving down the highway going 60 mph. Thank god she was able to stop the car with out getting hit. I did some research on this make and model and they have a recall on this problem just not with the vehicles just depends on where it was made. Which I thing is wrong if they have many recalls in the same make and model they should have them on all of them. .

And beings in a single mother of 2 little girls I think maybe my Mercury should be fixed. Mine is legit messed up. I can barley turn it. The power steering is all jacked around and its causing other issues. Such as not my car needs aligned.

It happened about once a month, I would have no power steering when in traffic, in motion, turning for about 3 - 5 seconds, then back to normal steering. I didn't know about any recall at the time. Then while in motion, turning into traffic power steering stopped completely, with message "power steering assist fault" I looked online, and found out about the recall. Dealer says steering recall was completed but I was never notified when. The problem has never stopped for me. Now it is a permanent problem, and dealer says no warranty, no recall. Can I force the dealer to re-do the recall somehow?.
When I am driving turning the wheel it make a loud clicking sound.
My car has a malfunction with the power steering assist. It went out of my on the freeway coming home from glendale, az to riverton, ut. It was so scary and so difficult to get home! my mechanic informed me there was a recall on this part. However, somehow my VIN is not showing this recall even though it is the exact year, make and model affected. After doing some research it turns out that Ford only recalled a fraction of the vehicles that was manufactured with this faulty part. How are they only accountable for some of the vehicles affected? clearly I have the same faulty part in my vehicle. I've called every dealership in the valley trying to find information on why it is a "lottery" on who gets the recall fixed and who doesn't. They have basically all told me to get stuffed. I can't drive my car and the part if very difficult to find outside of the dealership, who I do not want to go through after having them refuse to correct an issue that has a recall associated with it. Fords recall 14s05.
Power steering suddenly stopped working while I was driving. The vehicle is extremely difficult to navigate but I was able to pull off the road to a safe area. After shutting the car off for 15 minutes and restarting the lack of power steering remained, but there was now a message saying "power steering assist fault". This car has several other electrical problems with regard to the a/c & blower, and also the drivers side window and dome lights work sporadically.
My 2010 Mercury Mariner I recently purchased suddenly became extremely difficult to steer requiring alot of effort to turn the vehicle. Luckily no accident occurred. I later found a safety recall on the NHTSA website that stated this could happen with this vehicle and that Ford would repair the problem free of charge. When I called Ford/Lincoln they said that this vehicle had been looked at a few months ago and had not displayed this problem as of then so no parts were replaced. Now that it actually has displayed the lack of steering problem that the recall states it could, Ford says they don't have to fix it now because they already looked at it before it did it. . . What??? I am hoping you at the NHTSA will help me to get Ford to follow through on honoring their safety recall with my vehicle as the recall states that Ford is responsible for the cost of repairs to fix this issue with the steering that my vehicle is experiencing. Obviously since my vehicle did exactly what the safety recall said it could do, Ford did nothing to correct this problem when they claim to have looked at it before. Therefore, Ford should still be required to honor the safety recall and correct this issue. Thank you.
Power steering assist lite up on dash board. Power steering went out. Can not steer car as I attempted to turn and drive out of parking lot. Parked car and not driving car.

Original owner: the vehicle would was parked without issue yesterday. Backed it up this morning and there was no power steering. Shut it off and tried again and there was still no power steering. On the third attempt, the power steering returned and I very cautiously drove it to the dealership. There were no error messages displayed or warnings while it was out. (change oil reminder was lit). Dealership ran diagnostics and tried to recreate the issue without problems. This vehicle was built in the kansas city plant during the time of the recall from oct 2014, but for some reason, the VIN is not included. Authorized Ford dealership recommended "based on concern only" to "replace the elec. Steering torque sensor and recalibration. " I don't feel safe driving this or selling to someone else, even with the repair!!.
