THE DASHBOARD INFO DISPLAYS "POWER ASSIST FAILURE" WHEN STATIONARY (A COLD START), EITHER WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION, OR AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL REQUIRE GREAT EFFORT TO TURN IT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS WARNING HAPPENS NOW ABOUT 1 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK. IT STARTED AT ABOUT 74000 MILES. CURRENTLY THE CAR HAS 80000 MILES. TO WORK AROUND THE PROBLEM, THE IGNITION IS TURNED TO OFF, TURNED ON AGAIN, WAIT A FEW SECONDS, THEN RESTART THE MOTOR. THE STEERING MAY FEEL TIGHT WHEN TURNED FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND, BUT WILL LOOSEN AS THE POWER STEERING WORKS AGAIN. THE WARNING HAS NOT REPEATED AFTER RESTARTING. SO FAR, THE STEERING HAS NOT FAILED (BECOME TIGHT) WHILE DRIVING. THE WARNING AT START UP OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY IN COLD OR WET WEATHER. THE CAR WAS LAST SERVICED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AT ABOUT 72000 MILES WITH THE ONLY NOTICE THE BRAKES NEED SERVICE SOON. THE SYNC SYSTEM REPORTS INDICATE NO PROBLEMS WHEN UPLOADED TO THE AUTO INSURANCE COMPANY. IT WAS COLD THIS MORNING 25 F WHEN THE "POWER ASSIST FAILURE" REOCCURRED AGAIN. AFTER RESTARTING, THE WARNING DID NOT REPEAT, BUT STEERING WAS STIFF ABOUT 1 SECOND. I DECIDED TO REPORT THIS. THIS STEERING TYPE ISSUE HAS NEVER OCCURRED IN PREVIOUS CARS I HAVE OWNED. THESE ELECTRIC STEERING SYSTEMS NEEDS TO BE BANNED AS A SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO, THEY ARE EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL - IN MARCH 2017 I RECEIVED WRITTEN NOTICE OF SAFELY RECALL NOTICE 17S01. IT STATED: "WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE...FORD MOTOR COMPANY WILL NOTIFY YOU VIA MAIL TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR DEALER TO HAVE THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE (PARTS AND LABOR)..." I HAVE RECEIVED NO SUCH NOTIFICATION. TODAY, APPROX. ONE YEAR AFTER THE RECALL DATE, I CHECKED THIS SITE AND LEARNED THAT THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE, AND NOW TAKATA HAS FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. YET I'M LEFT DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT IS APPARENTLY UNSAFE. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
THERE WAS RECALL 2015 FOR POWER STEERING SERVICE AND I HAD IT REPAIRED 10/2016 AND THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN AGAIN 2017 I TOO CAR BACK TO GREEN FORD IN GREENSBORO,NC TO REPAIR IT AGAIN BUT I WAS TOLD IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THEY COULDN'T HAVE FIX THE RECALL. NOW I DON'T KNOW LOT ABOUT THIS PROCESS BUT I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IF IT'S RECALL THE RESPONSIBILITY LIES ON FORD. I'M SO AFRAID THAT THIS ISSUE CAN BE VERY HAZARDOUS TO ME AND MY FAMILY. I SHOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS. I JUST WANT AS A CONSUMER THAT FORD BE HELL TO HIGHER STANDARDS AND FIX THE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE RECALLED.

I STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION TO FILL UP WHEN I GOT BACK IN AND STARTED MY CAR THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING. I MANAGED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME. WHEN TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL ON THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING RECALL. THEY STATED THE RECALL ONLY COVERED CERTAIN CARS MANUFACTURED DURING CERTAIN MONTHS, MINE NOT BEING ONE. I FEEL THAT THE RECALL SHOULD COVER MORE OF THE MANUFACTURING DATES DUE TO MY RESEARCH ONLINE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT HAVE BEEN TOLD BY FORD THAT THEIR NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THEY JUMPED THE GUN ON THE TIME TABLE FOR THE RECALL. FORD DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF REPAIR. THE FORD RECALL NUMBER IS 15-S-18. NOW MY CAR IS SITTING HERE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR IT.

HALF SHAFT AXEL IS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE TO THE SHAFTS SURFACE FINISH WEARING DOWN THE COMPONENTS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. VERY COSTLY FOR CONSUMERS TO FIX AND EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR THE DRIVER AND OTHER MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD AS I WAS TOLD IT CAN CAUSE YOUR TRANSMISSION TO BLOW WHILE DRIVING AND STOP YOUR CAR SUDDENLY IF NOT ADDRESSED. I ONLY BECAME AWARE OF THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN TAKING MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE, DUE TO ONLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE 3,000 MILES PER YEAR I ONLY GET AN OIL CHANGE ONCE A YEAR. WHO KNOWS HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM.

What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
