NHTSA Complaint #11175822 — 2010 FORD EDGE

'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT' POWER STEERING ACCESS FAULT CODE DISPLAYS ON GAUGE CLUSTER AND STEERING WHEEL HAS NO POWER STEERING. VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND DANGEROUS. A RECALL FOR 2011 AND UP TAURUS WAS ISSUED BUT NOT THE 2010 WHICH HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAR IS NOT DERIVABLE AND NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS WAY. THIS HAPPENS ON START UP AND STAYS THIS WAY IN EVERY GEAR, NO POWER STEERING AVAILABLE.THE FORD TAURUS SHO 2010 MODEL HAS THE EXACT SAME PART FOR THE STEERING AS THE 2011-2015 MODEL THAT WAS RECALLED. FORD DID NOT INCLUDE THIS MODEL WITH THE RECALL AND IT SUFFERS THE SAME PROBLEM, SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING WITH NO WARNING. MY CAR LOST STEERING WHEN DRIVING BUT DID NOT CAUSE ME TO WRECK. THIS CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
