Steering wheel is hard to steer and a message keeps coming up on the dash saying 'service track'
My cars power steering has completely ceased up. i bought it used just over a year ago in july 2018. the light has come on for service along with the traction control light. my car has roughly 170,000 miles, maybe a little less. in looking up this issue, there is a disturbing amt of people with the exact issue who have actually had accidents because of this. luckily i have not but my car is now worthless as there is no way i'll be able to afford the repairs yet i still have to pay for the loan. my car was in motion when this happened however my boyfriend was driving on the highway, roughly at 70mph, and was able to continue driving. i dont have the muscle to do this, nor am i taking the risk. i also know my vin is not covered under the recall but ford should know by now that there is obviously something going on with other cars not covered by the recall. this problem needs to be resolved! someone is going to get killed if they havent already. it's not right to just ignore this issue. something needs to be done.
While driving to work 11/4/19 i got a message on the dash saying power steering now and advancetrac when it came time to make a turn at a light after exiting the hwy i had to struggle and pull ... i couldn't believe my car lost power just like that. 71k miles no warning before that day of steering problems.
Last week i received a recall for the airbags on my vehicle. before i called for an appointment, i checked the recall on line and noticed the steering is also being recalled. two days later while driving, lights started going off on my dashboard. the steering and tsc lights were blinking and ringing. i had no idea what to do! i read the dashboard which said check my power steering fluid, ther is no fluid well??? i called my ford dealer and was told ' we will fix the airbag, but have no idea about the steering issues, my car has no recall for that' i told them i was looking right at the recall notice, and since i wasn't notified, they can't fix it. i told her i cannot drive the vehicle that the car won't steer, she told me to have it towed in. i have purchased a 1990 bronco i, a 1999 ford ranger and a 2007 escape from this same dealer. these vehicles have as follows: 660k,588k and 290k miles on them. my ranger still has the original muffler. is this the way i should be treated. if the car has been recalled ...

On march 11, 2019 as i was driving on the highway, the steering wheel locked up and with all my strength was barely able to navigate my 2012 ford fusion safely to my home. during this incident i had the 'service power steering now' indication on the ipc (instrument panel cluster) as well and an advantrac (ford's traction control system) light. the following day i called and asked the ford service advisor if there had been a recall in the past for power steering issues on this model. he said no but for me to take the car in for a diagnostic check. i had my car towed to corwin ford on march 12 for a check-up. on such date i get a call from corwin ford noting they would need to replace epas and front suspension front and rear lower control arms for $3,420. and once again, the service advisor stated that there had never been a recall for this issue. i can't afford to fix this issue and will be having my car towed back to my house tomorrow. i paid ford $144 today for the service check.
Vehicle was stationary when power steering went out and advance trac. dealership fails to acknowledge why they advise a new power steering rack and new control arms. was told control arms are seizing up putting too much stress on the power steering and shortening it out. why not perform the recall work first to see if it fixes it rather than propose almost $4,000 worth of repairs? the recall i'm referring to is 15v340 and 15s18
