What owners wrote
My power steering failure indicator came on (while I was driving), indicating a need for immediate service. Upon testing, it was determined that the steering gear was faulty...on a 2015 vehicle!! This could have caused an accident if the gear failed while I was driving. I would not expect such a failure in a 2015 vehicle. It looks like previous ford models have been recalled due to a similar issue. I think there must be a design or manufacturing flaw.
