STOPPED AT GAS STATION TO FUEL VEHICLE. RETURNED TO VEHICLE AFTER FUELING. WHEN I STARTED MY MERCURY MARINER HYBRID, THE INFORMATION SCREEN SAID "SERVICE POWER STEERING". WHEN I STARTED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, I REALIZED I ONLY HAD MANUAL STEERING AVAILABLE. THIS CONTINUED ALL THE WAY HOME (5 MILES) ON ICY SNOW COVERED ROADS (FOLLOWING OUR NEAR BLIZZARD HEAR IN NORTH EASTERN INDIANA). NEXT MORNING, STARTED VEHICLE AND IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL. MY EXTENSIVE RESEARCH, SO FAR, INDICATES THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY RECALLS FOR THIS, WHAT APPEARS TO BE,…

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO EXIT A PARKING LOT (DRIVING AT LESS THAN 5 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN TO LEAVE THE PARKING SPOT), THE STEERING BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN. THINKING THAT THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF, I RESTARTED THE ENGINE THEN I NOTICED THE MESSAGE IN THE CLUSTER "SERVICE POWER STEERING". I DROVE TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP A FEW BLOCKS AWAY AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE POWER STEERING MODULE IS BAD AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THEY ESTIMATED REPAIRS WOULD COST ABOUT $1200 IF THEY CAN FIND A USED ONE. I WAS LESS THAN 5 MILES AWAY AND CONTINUED ON H…

MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ONE IN CALIFORNIA, MAJOR TURNS, TWISTY ROAD WHEN SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I HAVE HAD NO WARNINGS LEADING UP TO THIS EVENT. THE WRENCH ICON CAME ON AND AN ERROR MESSAGE CAME ON IN THE DASH STATING TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING SERVICED. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS HIGHWAY ONE HAS MANY TIGHT TURNS. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT THIS IS NOT PART OF A RECALL. EVERYTHING I HAVE READ STATES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM SPECIFICALLY IN THE HYBRID VEHICLES FORD…

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY TURNING ONTO THE ROAD, WHEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I TOOK MY 2006 MERCURY MARINER HYBRID TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. AT FIRST THEY THOUGHT THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT. IT WAS THE WRONG YEAR. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT FORD WOULD INCLUDE 2006 IF IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. NOBODY WILL BUY THIS MODEL BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. COME ON FORD YOUR PROBLEMS ARE MY PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT RIGHT! IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WITH THIS POWER STEERING ISSUE IN SO MANY OF THE 2006 VEHICLES YOU WOULD STEP UP AND DO A RECALL.
