The low tire pressure light came on inside the dash as I was pulling into my driveway. So I drove about.01mile to get air. After I put air in the tire, started the car and immediately got a warning that power steering needed servicing. Then got another warning that advance track needed servicing. All happened at the same time and the power steering was completely gone out. The dealership quoted me $1809 to fix the steering rack. The service dept said the gear inside the power steering rack has gone bad and the control arms it sits on has worn out the gear therefore needing front lower control arms costing $1213.23

There is a grinding/pooping noise from front of vehicle when turning. The recall 15S18 was reprogrammed along recall 16B38 but the noise has continued and has gotten worse. When driving slow and turning to the left and right in a parking lot it is very noticeable the dealership stated the noise was coming from the steering rack.

Was accelerating in my vehicle when the car hesitated and then just shut off in the middle of the road showing only an orange wrench light on the dash. Thankfully I was driving in town and actually to the dealership to get my airbag recall fixed when this happened and nobody other than my boyfriend was behind me. I turned the key into the off position and turned it back on and the dash (wrench) light indicator went off. I could have seriously injured myself or another vehicle due to what seems to be be a system failure! I refused to take my car home from the dealership until they checked into it. They acted as if it was no big deal because the (wrench) light on the dash went off but I'm very concerned it's a safety issue and bad accidents can be a result of this.

I recently noticed the mark on my driveway was getting bigger. Something under the engine is leaking. Brought car in for leak, after 1/2 hour, they told me I had to replace the ptu. Of course, the warranty has expired. The cost will be around $2300. I need my car so told them to fix it of course. I am on a limited budget, thank goodness for charge cards!

My transmission has been jolting whenever it shifts into gear 3, especially when going up hills. My vehicle has been well taken care of and not been involved any any previous accidents. The problem started when it had about 80,000 miles on it, and now it has 110,000 miles and the problem is worse. I have looked at other online forums and can confirm that I am not the only one with this problem.

- El Paso, TX, USA

Car jerks and shifts poorly and sometimes at the wrong time when starting up from a stop. Also downshifted from 6th grear to much lower gear when on the highway at highway speed in hot weather (over 100 degrees F), causing frightening loss of speed and accelerating motor rpms.

- Santa Rosa, CA, USA

Front left transmission seal leaking, axle shaft loose and damaged, wheel increasingly wobbly with speed. Directly and negatively affects brake rotors and pads as well as wheel knuckle stability and shock absorber wear. Car is dangerous to drive as steering control has decreased dramatically. The rubber seal around the transaxle on the left (driver side) front wheel axle has been sliced open from the inside by metal shavings produced by the bad production of the parts included in the axle shaft assembly, causing abnormal wear/shaving of the shaft. The joint has been completely damaged and is now in turn causing damage to the upper and lower ball joints, shock absorber, wheel knuckle, steering arm, brake rotors, break pads, the wheel hub, wheel bearing, tire etc. It literally efects the entire driver side front suspension, drivetrain, and steering components, continuously degrading their state with time and making them more dangerous to use/more dangerous to drive the car. No history of any damage has been recorded on this vehicle on that side and this has been a factory defect from the beginning, just poorly and very slowly addressed. Because if Ford's untimely response to this issue, most owners are forced to deal with the issues in vehicles effected by this Ford factory defect out of their own pocket, which is unfair.

Cv axle joint went out while driving in construction.

- Montpelier, OH, USA

The first time my power steering went out was when I was turning onto a busy intersection and was almost hit by two cars that were going pretty fast. I was able to drive it to a nearby Ford service center and the fixed three recalls: The throttle body, the powertrain, and power steering. Not even 8 months later, those same three issues went out again. The power steering went out when I was on the highway going 70 mph. I ended up spinning and damaged my front bumper trying to pull over and be safe.

I was driving down the street and the vehicle coasted to a stop in the street. Engine was running at idle. Gas pedal had no response. Didn't see any fault indicators. Shifted to neutral. Pushed gas pedal several times with no response. After about 30 seconds gas pedal started working. Shifted to drive and drove to side of road. Drove vehicle to dealer. They pulled fault code P1285. Dealer replaced radiator fan and head temperature sensor. Working okay so far. (3 days)
