- Covina, CA, USA

Experienced a sudden loss of steering while making a turn in a parking lot. I nearly struck another vehicle. This happened several times, all while making low speed sharp turns. My service representative told me the bearing in the power steering pumps fails contaminating the power steering fluid which then causes the failure of the rack and pinion steering gear. My own research shows this to be a common problem among all Ford vehicles using this type of pump. Loss of steering while attempting to make a sharp turn is a dangerous situation.

The power steering on this vehicle went out as my wife was rounding a curve. She described it as going off and coming back on. When it stiffened up, she turned harder and it loosened up fast. This caused her to go partially off the right side of the road. She got it home and it would hardly turn while in the driveway. Power steering fluid is leaking from the right side rack and pinion boot. A Ford dealer showed me article no. 01-5-6 dated March 8,2001 that discusses this issue and states it is for information only. Thank you for your time and help.
