My adaptive steering light came on and my steering wheel turned to the left like I am turning left. I am on social security and can not afford to pay 4000 dollars to have this fixed. Ford has a recall on 2017 edges for this. All these steering wheels are made just alike. This vin# should be included in the recall. I do not want to have an accident due to them not fixing this vehicle. Please help me with this. Thank you.
I turned my car on and a Warning light of adaptive steering sensor came on. Then my steering wheel was not in the correct position while I was driving. I only have 80 thousand miles on this vehicle. I feel like this vehicle should have been included the recalls of the other 2017 ford edges. Adaptive steering issues. Please add my VIN # to the recall so I can fix this. I’m afraid to drive it now. Thank you for your time with this problem. I can’t afford to fix this. I was told it would cost close to 4000 dollars.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that a warning light indicating that there was a steering failure had been illuminated on the instrument panel. When turning the steering wheel it failed to automatically re-center. The contact would have to use manual strength to re-center the steering wheel. The vehicle was taken to the who diagnosed that the steering module failed and the steering column needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired due to the part being on backorder. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer had referred the contact to the federal safety agency Hotline to file a safety complaint. The failure mileage was 100,200.
Putting the car in drive and would drive a few feet suddenly, all the panel lights ( check engine, abs,hazard control,electric parking brake,) literally every light on the panel would turn on and engine would stall causing the steering to become hard to control. This happened 3 times within a 2 week span then, I brought it into dealership and was told my coolant had leaked into my cylinders causing the engine to become ruined and that’s why I was having the problems with the engine and steering. My car has only 59000 miles.
