Consumer Description
As everyone is aware, Ford had a recall on 2010 escape, Recall # 14S05 - Electronic Power Steering that I took in to Ford 9-20-2016, recently the power steering Failed, and I am Thankful no one was on a road driving with a hard turn, then losing power steering that could possibly hurt or killed someone, my daughter usually drives this car with my grandson whose 22 months old, if the outcome would have been a fatality of one or both my daughter, and grandson, I would without a doubt have hired an attorney. I am shocked NHTSA is not pursuing this any longer, I hope you change your position, and make ford replace the torque sensor, that its not a matter of if it goes out, but when. My understanding is there are about 1,000,000 cars possibly more, with this issue, if the cost to repair were 500.00 a car for parts and labor, that would be a cost to Ford Motor Co. 1/2 BILLION DOLLERS or more, I hope its not money talking.
