On 12/10/2018 at 5 pm i made a right turn to merge into traffic when my power steering failed mid turn. shocked and surprised at to what was happening, i veered into the on coming traffic not being able to keep the vehicle in the proper lane because of the amount of effort required to steer. i missed having an accident by inches and cut off a driver whom got angry with me and i thought might follow me home. i was in rush hour traffic and was not able to stop the car and restart it for several blocks. when i was able to pull over and stop, i restarted the car and the power steering returned as normal. on the my lincoln owner website, it reported my car needing a power steering update. on 2 separate occasions during the past year when i had my car in to the lincoln dealer for other services, i reported this to the dealer. he looked something up on his computer and reported my car was ok, ignore the message.
Takata recall i am reaching out to nhtsa for the second time do to a recall that was issue back on june 2, 2015 for 2011 lincoln mkt. the recall number is 15s18. a few weeks ago i had a message that came across my dashboard that read services power steering and 2 sec later it read services power steering now. as we speak my car is at the dealership and i had a diagnostic test done. the code that come up on the test was p07ae. after researching the code description it is the same the description that was identified in the recall. lincoln is not trying to honor the recall because my vin doesn`t show up.
