Owner report 11021219 · 2017-09-02 (September 2, 2017)

THE POWER STEERING MAKES NOISE AND IS SLIPPING AT CERTAIN POINTS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. IT SEEMS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 17B22, WHICH WAS RECENTLY ISSUED FOR THE POLICE UTILITY VEHICLES OF THIS SAME YEAR, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE THE SEDAN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AS POWER STEERING COULD FAIL AT HIGH SPEEDS.

Owner report 11130969 · 2018-09-24 (September 24, 2018)

MY CAR'S POWER STEERING SUDDENLY DEVELOPED A FAULT, SHOWING MESSAGE ON DASH "STOP SAFELY NOW" ALONG WITH A SIMULTANEOUS MESSAGE ABOUT SERVICING ADVANCETRAC. STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. STEERING STILL WORKED, BUT CAR BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN (I AM NOT A SMALL MAN, AND IT WAS STILL DIFFICULT). I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (I WAS ON A LARGE CITY STREET TRAVELING ABOUT 45 MPH) AND STOP WITH SOME DIFFICULTY. POWER STEERING SEEMS TO HAVE COMPLETELY FAILED SPONTANEOUSLY.

I TOOK MY 2014 FORD TAURUS POLICE INTERCEPTOR TO BOGGUS FORD IN HARLINGEN, TX. FOR A RECALL ON A FUEL PUMP SENSOR WHICH THE DEALER SAID WOULD COST NOTHING TO REPLACE. I HAD TO BUY THE PART AND INSTALL IT TO GET THE VEHICLE THERE. DUMB, I KNOW, BUT IT WAS CHEAPER THAN A TOW TRUCK AND I WANTED IT CORRECTED BY THE DEALER FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. DURING THE DRIVE THERE I NOTICED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON SO I REPORTED IT. I ALSO REPORTED TO THEM THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATES, OR JERKS, WHEN DRIVING AT LOW TO MODERATE SPEEDS. THEY CORRECTED THE RECALL AND CH…
