Consumer Description
THE POWER STEERING RANDOMLY GOES OUT. SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY UPON TURNING THE VEHICLE ON, OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGH WAY, SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING SLOW, OR TURNING. IT IS COMPLETELY RANDOM. THE QUICK/TEMPORARY FIX IS TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK OFF AND ON AGAIN AND IT GOES AWAY FOR A WHILE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO FORD AND THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN WHICH COMES TO A TOTAL OF AROUND $1500. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEMS OTHER VEHICLES HAD THAT WERE A PART OF THE RECALL. MY YEAR IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VIN IS NOT.
