Consumer Description
Our 2009 Ford Escape built at the Kansas City Assembly Plant has experienced a complete failure of the Electric Power Steering System. There were no warning lights when the Electric Power Steering System failed causing the vehicle to revert back to manual steering. Once the power steering failed it took a greater amount of effort to steer the vehicle safely. I immediately took the vehicle to my repair shop where they determined that the vehicle had experienced a complete failure of the power steering assembly with a diagnostic code of B1342 (power steering module failure). The vehicle was repaired by replacing the Steering Column Assembly - CL8Z-3C529-D.
