The power steering issue that was recalled on these cars once before has went out again 100 miles past the 12,000 mile warranty. The warning came up about 3 miles from home after getting home the car was cut off and when we started the next day the power steering was completely out. This was confirmed by long lewis of muscle shoals Alabama that it was the exact same issue. They refused to fix the problem with the car unless we paid all but $300. I feel there needs to be a recall on this potentially dangerous faulty part. This all took place on a curvy county road.

This will be the second time that my electrical power steering has gone out. The first time was in 2017 and not even two years later it is out again. I attempted to call the Ford customer service line and the actual Ford dealership to schedule an appointment time to bring my car in and I was advised that the steering is not apart of their recalls and when it was supposedly fixed back in 2017 that was a a part of their customer service programs as a one time fix. I was told that I would have to pay 1600-1700 for the parts which does not include the labor.
