Consumer Description
I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN WHEN MY POWER STEERING QUIT. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT MY CAR HAD TURNED OFF BUT IT WAS STILL RUNNING. RETURNED HOME(ABOUT A MILE) AND THE CAR STEERING WASN'T WORKING AND WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER. CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID BRING IT INTO BE DIAGNOSED. AFTER TURNING KEY OFF AND ON, DISCOVERED THAT I AGAIN HAD POWER STEERING. 2011 ESCAPES WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. BUT DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD BE $2600 TO FIX! NOT LIKELY!
