Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER. THE DASH DISPLAYED 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT'. I WAS OVER 20 MILES FROM HOME ON A VERY CURVY CANYON ROAD. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE ROAD. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE THAT THIS COULD FAIL WITHOUT NOTICE. I SAW THAT SOME FORD ESCAPES HAVE RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NOT MINE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL THESE CARS IF THIS IS GOING TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE. I SAW THAT THERE WERE MANY COMPLIMENTS ABOUT THIS FROM OTHER FORD ESCAPE OWNERS. *TR
