Problems with 2014 Ford Focus STEERING

While driving the vehicle, the steering became almost impossible to turn cause me to hit a curb in a city and then a light came on the dash saying power steering failure. the steering is very hard and sticks then release. unsafe to drive. scared to ever drive this vehicle again.

Without ant kind of warning in went into the store for 10 min got into the car and the steering wheel was upside down i turned the car on and no power steering and and power assist code came up

Power steering failure. car loses power steering in the middle of driving.

Sometimes when i'm backing up, the power steering quits and i can't turn the wheel, which can result in a crash. i have to turn the car off and back on again, one or more times before it will work. so, while i have no power steering, i'm in the middle of road, blocking traffic, and hoping i don't get hit from another vehicle. this is a serious issue.!

My 16 year old daughter was driving in her 2014 ford focus se on the interstate. i was a passenger as she only has her learners permit. all the sudden she complained the vehicle was hard to steer. i saw her having a physically hard time steering the vehicle. i looked at the dashboard and saw the power steering assist failure indicator icon (electronic power assist steering - epas)activated on the dashboard. my daughter continued to struggle to maintain the vehicle safely due to the power steering issue. she drove to the nearest exit which was even worse than the highway. she had trouble steering through the "s" turns on the exit ramp. she came to the intersection, luckily the light was green and she didn't have to stop to turn right, but it wasn't much help. while turning onto another two lane highway she almost hit the concrete medium due to the epas failure. watching her drive the vehicle reminded me when i drove my grandfathers old dodge dart; no power steering. i understand

Driving the car and lost all control of steering without any notice while turing to cross busy street. code says power steering fault

'power steering assist fault' came up a few weeks ago. i shut it off and turned it back on and it cleared. went to start it up today and the fault was on as i pulled out of the garage. stayed on stopping and starting 5 times. also drove it and was very difficult to steer. this will be a safety issue for my 16 year old daughter who is supposed to drive this car.

52,000 miles - 2014 ford focus manual - while running errands, during car startup the error message "power assist malfunction - service required." the power steering was deactivated and made very difficult to steer. turned the car off and restarted after 5 min. the error message disappeared and power steering came back. from others with similar issues, this error could occur while driving and seems to be costly repair for a low mileage vehicle.

Impared steering/grinding noise when turning stationary or in motion, temporary loss of steering control, increasing risk of crash and poses an unreasonable risk to my safety. please see nhtsa # 14v514000 ford recall # 14s18 .

Steering wheel locks up after starting car and also while driving at low speeds

Power steering failed while driving. nearly caused an accident. lucky there were no others on the road. ford dealership said rack and pinion needed replacing. 2 weeks later the transmission completely failed. had already been re-programmed as part of the 14m02 program. this didn't fix the juddering and poor gear performance. dealer says transmission is broken and none of the customer programs apply.

'tamara recall'. recently the first week of july 2019 i left work and noticed i cohsot turn my steering wheel. i called red hill ford and i spoke to one of the new guys and explained to them my power steering was going and it was making grinding noises. they actually told me to drive my car down to the dealership with what i told them. he told me it wasn't my power steering and that it could be something else but i knew since my car was hard to steer and the grinding noise it was making. i drove from allentown down to red hill on route 29 and it was a long ride there. second, because they told me it cost 2 grand which i didn't have they were going to have me pick it up and drive it again knowing how it was not drive-able. luckily my parents came through and paid it. seeing the recalls i never received anything about my power steering rack. shouldn't this been covered under a warranty or covered since there was a recall? there is no warning light that displays on ...

I purchased this ford w 15000 miles on it. it now has 37000 miles. i feel like the car is a lemon. i have had several issues requiring me to go ford dealership. first the gas information was incorrect. it said i had 26 miles to drive but ran out of gas. then when i was driving on the freeway the car got stuck in between gears. i could not accelerate. then the i tried to back out of a parking spot and the i could not put car into reverse. as a result car was fixed under warranty and recall. the items fixed were gas tank recall, engine mount, clutch, transmission, and (reservoir tank that was not covered under warranty). i picked up car and next day i drove to work with the same issues. gears are not shifting. take bake to dealer and fixed transmission module. now the power steering does not work. i took it to ford and they charged me 160$ to look at it. it will cost 1800$ to fix steering. this not covered under warranty. the dealer also said that the suspension needs to be replaced soon. he stated that suspension needs ...

Yesterday i noticed that my steering seemed a little hard to keep going straight. today when i got in and started driving my car flashed a "steering failure get checked" message and was even harder to drive. i made it to my appointment and when i left 30 minutes later and turned my car on i had a new message, "steering loss stop safely". now i can't even move my steering wheel. luckily i wasn't on the expressway going 70 mph when this happened.

My son and i stopped at a rest area on a road trip. when my son started the engine to continue the trip he received the error code "steering assist fault, service now". we went to the nearest ford dealership who said they wouldn't be able to look at the car for a couple of days and if i was comfortable driving without power steering it wouldn't hurt anything else. since my 1st car didn't have power steering i decided to give it a go. when we reached our final destination we took the vehicle to a ford dealer and was told it needed to have the rack and pinion replaced at a cost of $2,400. this seems to be a recurring theme with the ford focus. i can only imagine what would have happened if this would have occurred while my son was driving at 65 mph on the new jersey turnpike.
