Consumer Description
STEERING ASSIST FAULT WARNING AND POWER STEERING LOCKS UP. CAR LEFT ME STRANDED WITH MY 2 KIDS. AFTER STARTING THE CAR, POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT POPS UP AND STEERING IS LOCKED. RESTARTED AND IT FIXED. WENT TO MY NEXT LOCATION AND STARTED THE CAR AND NO STEERING WHATSOEVER. THANK GOODNESS I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE STEERING WENT OUT. FORD SHOULD BE OBLIGATED TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE.
