Power steering (electrical system for this car) does not work on startup. Takes about 5 seconds to activate. Havenot experienced this on the road (yet). Check of outstanding recall repairs when entering VIN # in your webpage, shows no outstanding repairs. Howevver, I bought this vehicle with 0 miles and havenot had this repair done (I never got a recall notice). this malfunction has happened reeatedly in the last 3 weeks.

The steering suddenly became difficult to operate at 70 MPH. I stopped and turned the car off then turned it back on. Two warnings appeared on my dash, "Service Power Steering Now" & "Service AdvanceTrac." The turn signals also stopped working at this point. This vehicle is available for inspection. The component has not been inspected or taken to the local dealer. There were no symptoms prior to the failure

The power steering system in my 2013 Ford Taurus has failed. I took it to the shop and they informed me of multiple recalls on this make and model for the power steering, but it doesn't appear as though my personal VIN was recalled. Am I still eligible for a recall repair?

The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact sustained no injuries. The contact stated that since the failure occurred, the air conditioning failed to function properly and only blows out hot air. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. A dealer was not contacted. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V340000 (Steering) however, the Vin was not included.

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. IT SAID POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. AND I COULD NOT TURN MY WHEEL. FORTUNATELY I WAS PARKED. I JUST COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL TO MOVE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND THE WARNING WENT AWAY AND I COULD MOVE THE WHEEL AGAIN. WORRIED IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE IN MOTION.

SINCE SECOND YEAR WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE, SOME TIMES I TUNED OFF, THEN FAILS TO STARS, THEREAFTER FEW HOURS TURNED ON, AND STEERING LOSS OF POWER AND IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN, SUDDENLY TURNED OFF AND ON, THE CAR AND PROBLEM SOLVE (4 TIMES) THRU THE YEARS, AND ONE TIME WHEN I WAS DRIVING CODE POPS UP SAYING POWER ASSIST FAULT, THEN DISAPPEAR. APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO, I ARRIVED AT ONE LOCATION NEAR BY LINCOLN FORD OF SANTA MONICA, MY SON, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND DID NOT TURNED ON, THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT AT THAT LOCATION, NEXT FOLLOWING DAY WE TURNED IN THE DEALER ABOVE NOTED. AFTER FEW DAYS THEY SAID THIS SERIAL NUMBER IS NOT COVER BY THE RECALL, ONLY FEW OTHER SAME, YEAR AND SAME MODEL BUT NOT THIS ONE IS COVER BY THE RECALL, OF THE POWER STEERING SENSOR. THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOAD THE CODES OF THE...

POWER STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY WITHOUT WARNING. VERY DANGEROUS OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE DUE TO HEAT CAUSING ELECTRIC ASSIST STEERING TO FAIL. FORD DESIGN THE ELECTRIC ASSIST MOTOR TO SIT DIRECTLY BEHIND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE LOSING POWER STEERING FUNCTIONALITY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WOULD RESTART THE VEHICLE WHENEVER THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAITED APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES AS INSTRUCTED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL BEFORE THE VEHICLE REGAINED POWER STEERING FUNCTIONALITY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHORTLY AFTERWARDS THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT REPEATED THE ACTIONS AS BEFORE AND REGAINED POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING HOME. BILL BRANDT FORD (8100 BRENTWOOD BLVD, BRENTWOOD, CA 94513, (925) 634-3551) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE...

ENGINE STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR SLOWING DOWN.

EXPERIENCED LOSS OF STEERING/STEERING WHEEL FROZE UP AND COULD NOT BE TURNED; INITIALLY OCCURRED AT HOME IN DRIVEWAY WHEN STATIONARY OVERNIGHT BUT GETTING MORE FREQUENT AND PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL (15S18, SUPPLEMENTS #1, #2 AND #3) AND A FORD PROGRAM (15N01) IN PLACE REGARDING THIS ISSUE BUT MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED 11/2012 AND FORD SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS RECALL ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME. I CALLED 2 DEALERS AND DID A CHAT WITH FORD BUT WAS STILL TOLD "NO". SO I NOW HAVE TO MAKE A HIGH DOLLAR REPAIR ON A COMPONENT THAT SHOULD BE COVERED. SENDING LETTER TO PRESIDENT OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO COMPLAIN AS WELL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD NEEDS TO WIDEN THE DATES COVERED FOR THE RECALL AND REIMBURSE ME FOR THE EXPENSE THEY SHOULD HAVE COVERED INITIALLY.

POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING MAKING THE STEERING IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. WHEN THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING HAPPENS A CODE POPS UP SAYING 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT '

THE POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE IS AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT DAY POWER ASSIST FAULT. THERE IS A RECALL ON 2013 MODEL FORD TAURUS OVER 300,000 FOR THIS REASON BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT LISTED.

THE STEERING HAS BEEN GETTING STIFFER AND STIFFER OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO. THERE HAD BEEN RECALLS ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP BEING FAULTY FOR THE 2013 TAURUS; BUT, MY VEHICLE DID NOT FIT INTO THAT RECALL. MY CAR HAS ONLY 65000 MILES. I THINK THAT MY VEHICLE MAY HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED IN THAT RECALL. IT IS EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND IS GETTING WORSE. DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DATE I STARTED NOTICING IT; THE DATE BELOW IS NOT ACCURATE, BUT, IT HAS BEING GETTING WORSE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

POWER STEERING WOULD GO IN AND OUT AS I HIT BUMPS IN THE ROAD AT FIRST. NOW IT'S OUT COMPLETELY AND SOMETIMES LOCKS IN POSITION WITHOUT ABILITY TO CORRECT FOR 1 -2 SECONDS. RECALS FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR HAVE BEEN ISSUED. MY VIN IS NOT SUPPORTED DESPITE THE SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROBLEM AS WELL AS THE SCENARIO LEADING UP TO TOTAL FAILURE. I HAVE A GREEN 2013 FORD TAURUS SHO POLICE INTERCEPTOR. IT WAS A STATE HIGHWAY PATROL CAR FROM RHODE ISLAND I BELIEVE. I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM CHICAGO MOTORS. IT WAS DELIVERED TO ME IN OHIO. I DIDN'T EVEN TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I TRUSTED IN FORD. BUT AFTER THE SAFETY ISSUED THAT'S ONLY ADDRESSED SELECTIVELY, I AM ASHAMED TO OWN ANYTHING WITH THE NAME, INCLUDING MY F450. I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF DISCUSSING GREED DRIVES A COMPANY TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO BE...

HAD THE REAR TOE LINK RECALL PERFORMED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. FINALLY DECIDED TO LOOK AND THE OLD LINKS ARE STILL ON THE CAR. EMAILED PICTURES TO SERVICE ADVISOR EARLY MORNING CALLED A FEW MINS LATER SAID HE GET THEM TO HIS GM MANAGER ASAP. NEVER GOT A RESPONSE DECIDED I'D SWING BY ON MY WAY HOME. ASKED WHAT THE DEAL WAS. SAID THEY HADN'T HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT YET. [XXX], CAN I AT LEAST HAVE SOMETHING SAYING IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THESE OLD RECALLED LINKS THEY DENIED THE REQUEST. SAID MAYBE FORD CHANGED THE PART AND IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE. ASKED ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER TO LOOK AT THE LINKS. EXPLAINED THE WELD THAT HOLD THE ROD AND BUSHING TOGETHER IS WHAT'S BREAKING. THE NEW PART HAS NO WELD AND IS ONCE PIECE. SHE SAYS SHE'S NOT SURE BUT IT DOESN'T...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE POWER STEERING CEASED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO OPERATE WITH STEERING IN MANUAL MODE. LIBERTY FORD VERMILION (4215 LIBERTY AVE, VERMILION, OH 44089, (440)967-6191) WHERE THE DTC CODES WERE CLEARED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MONTROSE FORD (3960 MEDINA RD, FAIRLAWN, OH 44333, (330) 666-0711) AND THE COMPUTER WAS RESET AND DTC CODES CLEARED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V340000 (STEERING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 122,000.

WHILE LEAVING A PARKING LOT, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON MY FORD TAURUS STOPPED WORKING. I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN SHARP ENOUGH TO STAY IN THE INTENDED FIRST LANE OF TRAFFIC AND WENT DEEP INTO THE SECOND AND ALMOST THIRD LANE. LUCKILY THE PERSON IN THE CENTER LANE WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE LEFT TO AVOID A COLLISION. THERE IS A RECALL THAT DESCRIBE THIS AS (15V340000 OR FORD 15S18) BUT FORD SAYS IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE THOUGH THE DESCRIPTION IS IDENTICAL TO WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM THIS RECALL DESCRIBES IS NOT LIMITED TO THE SCOPE OF VEHICLES FORD CLAIMS AS PROBLEMATIC.

I WENT TO GET MY TWO LOWER CONTROL ARMS TO BE REPLACED. AND MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE ON MY RACK AND PINION. SO I TOOK IT TO TWO DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAID THAT WANTED OVER $150 TO EVEN LOOK AT IT AND TELL ME IF IT WOULD THROW ANY CODES. BUT IF YOU JUST DROVE THE CAR YOU CAN TELL SOMETHING IS STILL WRONG WITH IT. I'M SCARED.

I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL SHOP FOR LOWER CONTROL ARMS. THE SHOP MANAGER CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR. SO I TRIED TO CONTACT 2 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS. NEITHER ONE WANTS TO EVEN LOOK AT IT. THE DEALERSHIPS WANTED OVER $150 TO LOOK AT THE RECALL ISSUE. I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE STEERING. THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. MY CAR IS A 2013 AND HAS AROUND 143,000 MILES ON IT.

THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING ME TO ALMOST HAVE AN ACCIDENT.

MY 2103 FORD TAURUS LOST THE POWER STEERING WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY ON A COUNTY ROAD WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN. LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO FIGHT THE STEERING BY MUSCLING IT TO GET THE CAR UNDER CONTROL AND OFF THE ROAD. TWO NOTICES NOW APPEAR ON THE DASH. 1. POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND 2. SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MANY FORD VEHICLES INCLUDING MANY BUT NOT ALL 2013 FORD TAURUS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY FOR THIS KNOWN SAFETY CONDITION, HOWEVER THE LOCAL FORD DEALER TELLS ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED BY THIS RECALL. I FEEL THAT SINCE THIS IS A VERIFIED KNOWN PROBLEM AND A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS PROBLEM EXISTS THAT ALL 2013 FORD TAURUS WITH THIS KNOWN CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED WITH THE RECALL. I THINK THAT THE RECALL # IS...

LOST STEERING CONTROL. POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE. BACKING OUT OF GARAGE. ON STARTING CAR THE FAULT COMES UP IN DASH AND NOT STEERING. SHUTTING OFF ENGINE RESETS AS MANY AS TWO TRIES.

WHEN YOU START THE CAR, OCCASIONALLY A CODE COMES UP POWER STEERING ASSIST DEFAULT AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. THERE IS A RECALL 15S18 FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR MY EXACT CAR, MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR. HOWEVER WHEN I HAVE THE VIN NUMBER CHECKED, MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP ( LITHIA SPRINGS,GA) SAY MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. MY CAR IS HAVING THE EXACT PROBLEM THE RECALL IDENTIFIES, BUT FORD WILL NOT PAY FOR IT BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT IN THE RECALL. MY MECHANIC IDENTIFIED THE RECALL AND THE EXACT PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER AND I WENT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AFTER CHECKING MY VIN NUMBER AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED PREVIOUSLY FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I AM HAVING THE EXACT PROBLEM THE RECALL DESCRIBES AND...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO OPERATE AS A POWER STEERING WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT HAD YET TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED OR SERVICED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED HIM THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V340000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

MY VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND BECAME VARY HARD TO TURN 2 MONTHS AGO AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME I DO NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THAT. I LOOKING AT EVERY ONE WITH THE SAME CAR GETTING THERE STEERING PROBLEM FIXED BUT MINES. I FOUND THE CODE WHICH IS 15S18 AND I STILL CAN NOT GET MY STEERING WHEEL FIX. THIS THE FIRST FORD I EVER HAD AND WILL BE THE LAST.

MY WARNING LIGHT SHOWING "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULTY" SHOWED UP ABOUT A MONTH AGO ON MY DASH, I COULDN'T STEER LEFT OR RIGHT. THE WHEEL WAS VERY HARD AND SCARY TOO. I CUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED, AND THE WARNING WENT AWAY. SAME MONTH, ANOTHER WARNING SHOWED UP SAYING "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC" AND WENT OFF BY ITSELF. TWO DAYS AGO THE 29TH OF SEPTEMBER, 2020 I DROVE MY VEHICLE TO WORK. AT 17:05 I LEFT WORK AND STARTED MY ENGINE, I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE AND BOTH LIGHTS CAME BACK AT THE SAME TIME. POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULTY, AND SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC WARNING BOTH CAME ON. I COULDN'T STEER LEFT OR RIGHT, NEITHER COULD I USE THE BLINKER. THESE WAS THE MOST SCARIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE AS I ALMOST CRASHED MY CAR. I DEPLOYED MY BEST DRIVING SKILL TO GET MY VEHICLE HOME WITHOUT KILLING MYSELF OR HURTING...

THE 2013 TAURUS HAS RIGHT AT 60,000 MILES ON IT AND IS MAINTAINED REGULARLY AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I'VE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL FOR THE STEERING EPAS SYSTEM FAILING, BUT IT HAPPENED LAST WEEK. WITHOUT NOTICE OR WARNING, AS WE BACKED OUT OF THE GARAGE, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING CAPABILITY AND TURNING IT OFF AND RESTARTING DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. AS I PULLED BACK IN THE STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING FAILURE OF THAT SYSTEM AS WELL.

I I PURCHASED THIS 2013 FORD TAURUS SHO AWD TWIN TURBO ABOUT 3 YRS AGO USED FROM THE FIRST OWNER SO I'M THE SECOND OWNER. THE CAR WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. NO ACCIDENTS SUPER CLEAN TOTALLY LOADED EXCEPT NO NAV AND SCREEN CONTROLS FOR ALL THE OTHER CELL PHONE APPS AND I EVEN WENT FOR UPGRADE FROM SYNC 2 MY TOUCH W/NO NAV TO THE NEWEST SYNC 3 3.5 FROM A 2018 VEHICLE CHANGED EVERYTHING IT WORKS GREAT. I CAN TELL THE CAR WAS TAKEN CARE OF BY HIM HE PUT VERY NICE TSW WHEELS AND VERY EXPENSIVE CONTINENTAL CONTITRACK TIRES THAT ARE ABUT 300.00 A PIECE WEATHERTECH RAIN GUARDS MATS FRONT AND REAR AS WELL AS THE TRUNK.IT WAS SUCH A BEATIFUL CAR. I BOUGHT IT IN THE SUMMER,WHEN WINTER CAME ALL THE PROBLEMS STARTED FRONT SUSPENSION CREAKING STRUTS NO MORE BACK UP CAMERA WORKING BUT FUZZY AND UPSIDE...

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME ON I WAS FORTUNATE THAT IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS STATIONARY IN A DRIVEWAY AND NOT VERY FAR FROM HOME. STEERING IS LOCKED AND IT'S INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO TURN EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. I CALLED FORDS RECALL # AND I WAS TOLD MY CAR DOEST FALL UNDER RECALL COVERAGE BECAUSE THE MONTH IT WAS ASSEMBLED WAS WHEN THEY SWAPPED TO USING ANOTHER STEERING RACK DESPITE MY VEHICLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM SPECIFIED UNDER RECALL 15S18. I'M UNSURE WHY THEY WOULD SWAP STEERING RACKS MIDWAY THROUGH THE '13 MODEL YEAR UNLESS THEY KNEW THEY INSTALLED FAULTY EQUIPMENT.

I WAS DRIVING AND HAD TO MAKE A U-TURN, AS A MAKE MY LEFT U TURN A GET A BEEPING NOISE FROM THE DASH SAYING THAT 'POWER STEERING FAILURE' AND NOW THE CAR IS REALLY HARD TO TURN. I KNOW THAT FORD HAS RECALLS ON 2013-2015 VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME SYSTEM HOWEVER THEY EXCLUDED THE TAURUS AND MANY OTHER VEHICLES THAT ARE PRONE TO FAILURE.

AT RANDOM, POWER STEERING GOES OFF WHILE IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED AS THE TRACTION ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT'S WIFE STEERED THE VEHICLE TO A PARKING LOT WHERE SHE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON WHICH FAILED TO RESUME BACK TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND REMAINED PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. NO DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V340000 (STEERING) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 94,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON HWY.10 W. AT APPROX 70 MPH, THE WHEEL BECAME STIFF, MY SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT FLASHED, THE WHEEL LOCKED, CAUSING ME TO VEER INTO THE TRAFFIC OF AN 18 WHEELER. UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, I RAN OFF OF THE EMBANKMENT OF THE NEAREST EXIT. I TRIED TO ADD POWER STEERING FLUID BUT THERE WAS NO RESERVOIR. I GOOGLED A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHO ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. STRANDED WITH NO STEERING, THIS CREATED AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF STRESS, I AM A CANCER SURVIVOR, MY LIFE FLASHED BEFORE ME. I WAS 8 MILES FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP, I TOOK A BACK ROAD AND CREEP AT 10 MILES AN HOUR WITH NO STEERING. $139 FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND $2500 FOR REPAIR; I DECLINED THE REPAIR AS I HAVE BEEN IN CANCER TREATMENT FOR THE PAST YEAR AND NOW COVID19. THROUGH THE GRACE OF GOD,...

STEERING LOCKED UP WHILE TURNING AT 25MPH. CROSSED 3 LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC UNTIL I COULD STOP ON SHOULDER. CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. NOT LOSS OF POWER STEERING -- STEERING LOCKED UP COMPLETELY.

POWER STEERING STOPPED WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HIS VEHICLE FROM A PARKING LOT ONTO A BUSY ROAD. THE BLINKERS ALSO DO NOT STAY ON AND HAVE TO BE HELD DOWN WHILE TRYING TO TURN A STEERING WHEEL WITH NO POWER. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY VERY DANGEROUS! THE ERROR CODES THAT CAME UP ARE U3000-49, U3000-96, U3000-72, U042081, U046B-86. THERE IS A RECALL ON 2013 FORD TAURUS BUT FOR SOME REASON OUR VIN IS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALLS, HOWEVER WE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS DISCRIBED IN THIS RECALL. FORD IS REFUSING TO HELP US GET THIS RESOLVED AND TELLING US THAT WE MUST PAY FOR THE COST OF SOMETHING THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED ON 2013 VEHICLES. RECALL CODE 15S18. IT APPEARS FORD IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR POOR PRODUCT AND SELLING A VEHICLE THAT IS QUITE FRANKLY LETHAL AND NOW UNDRIVABLE.

POWER STEERING NOT WORKING. WENT TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT ON RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE STEERING CEASED WITH THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECTED A RECALL. THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V340000(STEERING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000.

WITHOUT WARNING AND WHILE DRIVING ,THE STEERING WAS VERY VERY VERY HARD TO STEER IN YHE PROPER DIRECTION ALMOST CAUSING A HEAD ON COLLISION AT 50 MPH AND THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC ASWELL 45MPH PLUS = 95 TO 100 MPH COLLISION ON A TWO LANE TWO DIRECTION HIGHWAY.WHEN THIS OCCURRED THE POWER STEERING INFO CAME ON SAID SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW AND STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON

WHILE STARTING MY CAR A LIGHT CAME ON STATING POWER STEERING ASSISTED FAILED. TURNED CAR OFF , SAT FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES TRIED AGAIN NO LIGHT. DROVE 11 MILES TO WORK CALLED LARRY MILLER FORD TO BRING IN. DROVE 11 MILES HOME. LOOKED ON FORD WEBSITE SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR ALL 2013 MODELS MADE IN CHICAGO FOR RECALL CODE 15S18. TOOK TO DEALER THAT WAS THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE THEY GOT BUT SAID MY VIN NOT COVERED. WANTS 2500 TO REPAIR. MY CAR HAS TWO PLAQUES THAT SAY MADE IN CHICAGO.ONE IN GLOVEBOX AND ONE IN DOOR FRAME. CAR HAS 70107 MILES. I HAVE TO REPAIR BECAUSE I HAVE TO DRIVE 1800 MILES NEXT WEEK TO HANDLE CLOSING MY FATHERS ESTATE. I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I LOSE POWER STEERING AND HAVE ONLY MANUAL STEERING. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT TYPE OF STREET OR CONDITIONS ARE, THIS ISSUE OCCURS NO MATTER WHAT AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR. NO SYSTEM CHECKS HAVE COME UP ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

STEERING ANGLE SENSOR CODE CIB00-64 - WAS DIAGNOSE TO BE ISSUE. THOUGH RECALL WAS APPROVED ON THIS MAKE/MODEL STEERING:ELECTRICAL POWER ASSIST SYSTEMS-THIS CAR IS NOT COVER BECAUSE THEY CLAIM IT WAS BUILT AFTER DATE SUGGESTED IN RECALL FORD 15S18. WITHOUT WARNING AND WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION WHILE DRIVING ON STREET/HIGHWAY AND IN MOTION THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES STIFF (NO PLAY IN WHEEL AS NORMALLY IT HAS) WHEN YOU PROCEED IN MAKING TURNS THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER AND SHUTS DOWN CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT WILL NORMALLY START AGAIN,ONCE STARTED AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY HARD TO STEER, MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. THEN WITHOUT WARNING YOU WILL HAVE NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE STEERING. CAUSING YOU TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR BECAUSE WHEN IT RE-CORRECTS THE STEERING FAILURE, IT OFTEN OCCURS WHILE WE ARE OVER COMPENSATING FOR THE LOST OF STEERING,...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER.

IN 2015 FORD RECALLED THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM FOR STEERING ON THE 2011-2013 FORD TAURUS. I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2013 TAURUS THAT IS NOT COMING UP WITH THE RECALL BUT IS HAVING THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AS THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS AND DOES NOT TURN PROPERLY.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE THE SAME AS WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN RECALL 15S18 ( NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V34000 ) BUT CARS MADE AFTER A CERTAIN DATE ARE NOT COVERED BY THAT RECALL, EVEN WHEN THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO LATER MODELS FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

STEERING WHEEL SHAKES ARE GETTING WORSE EVERY MONTH. WHILE DRIVING, STEERING WHEEL STICKS DURING TURNING AND GETS STUCK. STRAIGHTENING THE WHEEL AFTER A TURN IS HARD TO COMPLETE. HAVE TO PULL STEERING WHEEL HARD TO GET OUT STRAIGHTENED. THESE ISSUES HAPPEN BOTH WHILE DRIVING SLOW AND HIGHER SPEED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN TURNING, THE STEERING WHEEL EMITTED A GRINDING SOUND. THE GRINDING SOUND WAS ALSO EMITTED WHEN REVERSING THE VEHICLE.

FORD DENID THAT THERE IS RECALLS ON THE ELECTRIC POWERSTEERING SYSTEM.
