What owners wrote
On 3/8/23 I was attempting to turn around on a residential street. I put my car in reverse and started turning steering wheel to the right when suddenly there was a loud pop and my steering wheel tighted up and I could barely turn it. IThen when I put in drive it stated rattling everywhere. I almost hit another car trying to turn in a drive cause couldn't turn.
Power steering problems with hard turning when starting and leaving parking spot, especially when cold. Mechanic checked and said it might be steering shaft, a $600 repair. Recall for previous year (2011-2013) power steering problems, but not 2014 despite documented problems in that year as well. Would like ford to fix problem at no charge to me given power steering problems occur with this car.
