I drove the truck from home to work and around school zone which is a city street. i pulled over because children were getting out of school when i try to fix the truck to the side walk i turned the steering wheel to align the truck ,all of a sudden it got locked .no one got hit!! but, it was scary. did not expect this to happened. the steering wheel does not turn left or right. so, aaa towed the truck to 15505 roscoe galpin service at north hills so,they can check the problem. i told them it had two recently recalls and they said is has nothing to do with them . and said it's going to cost me 1670 dls. also, the display showed service advanced trac . when it happened.
Epas (electronic power assit sterring) sensor failed, electronic steering fails and acts if there is no power steering causing very diifficult manuvering. ths could easily result in an accident or fatality. several on-line complaints about it.
Power steering is starting to fail. the symptoms are difficulty in turning, wheels not returning to center after a turn, complete power steering failure. the biggest problem is that the epas system is married to the rack and pinion assembly so the entire assembly has to be replaced instead of just the epas. about a $2000 repair. i understand parts break but but having to replace a major part of the steering package is very poor design.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. while exiting a parking lot at 20 mph, the steering wheel seized to the left. as a result, the vehicle jumped the curb, drove on top of a pylon, and almost turned completely over. the vehicle was stuck and was towed to the contact's residence. a police report was not filed and there were no injuries. an unknown dealer was contacted and stated that there were no recalls. the dealer quoted the repair cost ranging from $2,500 to $3,000. the manufacturer had not been contacted. the cause of the failure was not determined. the failure mileage was 119,000.
While driving, the steering seized up making the vehicle nearly impossible to control. multiple warning lights: "service advanced track, power steering, hill descent assist". dealer reports that epas system has gone bad/failed. i've read numerous reports on the steering/electric issue. this is a major safety concern and needs to be recalled. this truck is in immaculate shape and has 67,000 miles on it. steering should not be failing. please get a recall going on this before someone dies i also had a wheel stud/bolt sheer off two weeks back.

Traction control light came on i don't have power steering at all in my 2013 ford f150 eco-boost and i noticed when it's really cold outside i don't have power stering
Initially noticed subtle issues with steering while driving on a city street and interstate, followed by a warning message on my dash board stating 'power steering assist fault'. power steering completely went out temporarily, leaving no option but to put the truck in park, and turn the vehicle off. dealership stated the entire steering rack needed to be replaced due to this being an electronic system. when researching, it appears many other ford vehicles have had this issue, and not just with f150s. other years were recalled due to this same electronic power steering design, just not my year. appears this is the same faulty design.
While driving heard a noise then lost all power steering.
Steering first started making groaning noises on tight turns, within a few days, got so bad i could barely steer it. mechanic diagnosis is that steering rack/electris steering assist system needs to be replaced. he also said that the replacement part has been redesigned to help prevent this kind of problem, which seems common. this suggests that it is a design flaw with serious safety implications-- danger of not being able to steer at various speeds, to include when towing heavy loads, as i was doing when it was going bad. if a design flaw, why is this not already a safety recall?
My power steering went out going down the road almost pulled the truck out of the road. almost caused me to crash
Trouble with steering. getting feedback in the steering wheel (noise and vibration). at times steering is difficult and not returning to center on its own. in motion, any road condition, turning and not turning any speed. after reading hundreds of complaints believe the problem to be the steering gearbox.
The message "power steering assist fail" message appeared on the instrument panel and was very hard to drive vehicle and to negotiate turns to get home from work on friday evening, 6/7/2019. had vehicle towed to the local ford dealer on saturday and have not heard back.
Steering is bad , when in motion
I was driving down the road and lost all power steering resulting in almost wrecking into a gulley at a speed of 65mph
