After 3 years of the power steering assist fault and service advance trac warning messages the car finally held the code long enough for ford to diagnose the code. There are 4 control arms and the power steering rack that are bad in the car now and ford wants $2875 to make the repair which i cannot afford and now have a useless car.

Once the car was lifted, i found the coil spring had snapped, just sitting there!! I also found that it had been broken in two spots as on one break it was rusted and the new break was fresh. My family drives the car a lot and i…

I was driving at about 25-30 miles per hour and got a flat tire. I stopped the car and changed the tire, but once i started driving the caution alarm came on and started flashing that the "electric power assisted steering" malfunctioned. It became difficult to steer the car. I almost ran off the road into a drainage canal trying to make a turn. *tr
