What owners wrote

I was making a left turn on a dirt road when the power steering went out and my steering wheel jerked the opposite direction and I went off the side of the road and did damage to my fender. I took it to the ford dealer that I purchased it from for warranty fix and to fix my fender and they denied my work and wouldn't fix the power steering even though the code po7ae and u0415 clearly came up. This is a huge safety issue and ford needs to take responsibility.
