THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED RESULTING IN DANGEROUS DRIVING WITH MINIMAL STEERING. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON MOST VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODE, HOWEVER FORD IS REFUSING TO HONOR THE RECALL ON MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THE SAME ISSUE AROSE. I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET WHEN IT HAPPENED, AND IT GAVE OUT SUDDENLY WITH NO WARNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND THEN TAKEN TO LASCO FORD (2525 OWEN ROAD, FENTON, MI 48430) WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR KEPT RANDOMLY FLASHING AND A WARNING CHIME SOUNDED EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. ALSO, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V284000 (STEERING), ALTHOUGH IT EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE AS LISTED IN THE RECALL.

WHILE TAKING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL, I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS A BUSY ROAD WHEN, WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE STOPPED TURNING, MADE AN ALARM SOUND AND SEEMED TO DECREASE POWER. I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN JUST BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC ARRIVED AT THE INTERSECTION. AS THE WHEELS STRAIGHTENED OUT, THE POWER STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL. AS I MADE THE NEXT RIGHT HAND TURN, IT AGAIN CUT OUT IN MID-TURN AND THE 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT' MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE DASH. DURING THE NEXT LEFT-HAND TURN, IT AGAIN CUT OUT MID-TURN BUT THIS TIME I WAS EXPECTING IT AND HAD NO TROUBLE FORCING THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN. THIS TIME THE FAULT MESSAGE STAYED ON AND THERE WAS NO LONGER ANY POWER ASSIST. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO A PARTS STORE EXPECTING IT TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP OR A LOW FLUID ISSUE ONLY TO DISCOVER IN THE OWNERS MANUAL THAT THE POWER ASSIST IS ELECTRICAL, NOT HYDRAULIC. I ASKED THE PARTS STORE EMPLOYEE TO RUN A SCAN ON THE VEHICLE AND WHEN HE SAW THE VEHICLE/MESSAGE HE TOLD ME THE SCAN WOULDN'T DO ANY GOOD WITH THAT ISSUE AND IT WAS GOING TO BE A VERY EXPENSIVE TRIP TO THE MECHANIC. WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON, THE 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT' MESSAGE STAYED ON WITHOUT ANY POWER STEERING. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME, I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE RECALLS FOR 2010 FORD ESCAPES FROM THE KANSAS CITY PLANT, BUT A CHECK OF THE FORD RECALL DATABASE SHOWS NO SUCH RECALL FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 96,823 MILES, I WOULD

I WAS DRIVING MY SON HOME FROM SCHOOL IN MY 2010 ESCAPE, I WENT TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND AS I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GAIN SPEED, MY VEHICLE DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE THE GAS AND I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO STALL. A WRENCH APPEARED ON THE PANEL AND SO DID THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY FORD DEALER, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AGAIN AND THE PURGE VALVE AGAIN. I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED IN 2015 FOLLOWING THE RECALL AND THE PURGE VALVE REPLACED IN 2016.

MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE ISNT BUT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN RECALL OF WHEEL BEARING BEING INCORRECTLY SIZED AND POWER STEERING FAILURE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HAVING THEM CHECKED ASAP. BECAUSE OF THE INCORRECT SIZING AND THE POWER STEERING FAILING DRIVING WITH THEM WILL END UP COSTING YOU A LOT OF MONEY AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON HIGHWAY. WHEEL BEARINGS INCORRECTLY SIZED WILL LOCK UP ON YOU WHILE DRIVING RANDOMLY.

ENGINE STALLING. OVER THE LAST YEAR I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY FORD ESCAPE RANDOMLY STALLING. I HAVE HAD IT AT 2 DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND BOTH HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE.

I AM HAVING LESS OF THESE EPISODES, BUT STALLING IS STILL OCCURRING OCCASIONALLY. THE STALLING ALWAYS OCCURS WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT EITHER A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT.

ON THREE OCCASIONS, THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNING, ONCE ON A STREET AND TWICE IN PARKING LOTS. EACH OCCASION WAS DURING COLD WEATHER (GENERALLY AROUND FREEZING). ON EACH TIME, SHIFTING THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL THEN TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN BEFORE RE-ENGAGING THE TRANSMISSION RESULTED IN THE POWER STEERING RETURNING.
