Warning light appears "service advancetrac". Once. Then weeks later lost power steering while driving. As a strong man had to practically use all my body weight to avoid collision while almost standing. Got it towed to a ford dealership. Diagnosis was defective electronic steering gear. Ford had recall on this same issue by recall #14s09, but my truck was not included in recall. This is a safety issue and could have caused an awful accident. Obviously the epas steering gear is defective and vehicles with it need to be recalled before someone has a major accident. The cost was $2583 for a vehicle with only 38897 miles. This is a safety issue!!

2014 f150 with 61,000 miles intermittently loses power steering. Had it at the dealership twice until the condition happened. I was told that the steering shaft is failing and must be replaced (approx. Cost $1900). Doing research I found that there was a recall on the 2014 f150 (the federal safety agency id 14v316000) in which the steering assist was incorrectly assembled and must be replaced. Also, the recall only includes trucks manufactured between may 26 and june 19, I'm told my truck was not manufactured during that time and I am responsible for the repair.

I just came off the freeway on to a city street and the "service advancetrac" light came on then I lost power too my steering. I'm glad I was not still on the freeway it could have caused a bad accident.
Driving down country road when "power assist steering failure" light came on and instantly lost all power steering. Had to limp home and very difficult to maneuver vehicle.
As I was driving my steering wheel locked up and I could no longer turn and on the screen display was power steering assist fault.
'power steering assist fault ' comes on screen and power steering suddenly goes out happens while in motion or during startup. Eventually comes back on after turning vehicle off and on a few times.
Power steering stops working intermittently making steering difficult and accident likely.
Steering started getting tight the week of january 20,2020.it does loosen up slightly once you drive it for a few miles but it is not 100%.it is super hard to turn in the morning or after sitting 8 hours while at work. But I estimate it takes driving it about 6 to 10miles before it get easier. I have 73,000 miles on this truck and according to VIN. Date no recall on steering issue.
I was pulling out of a parking structure as I turn right and then try to sraighten into the street my steering wheel was not abel to turn n was making a funny noise as I tried to and almost crashed had to yank the steering wheel hard and was barely abel to turn enough to not hit a car now car is just abel to go straight.from my knowledge it has to do with the electric power steering the trucks come with and looked into it as I was parked as close as I could to the side of the street that the trucks are known for them giving out with no warning n a recall was done on a certain batch I called ford n dey said no my truck has no recalls n read up that the recall number was 14s09 n was happening to alot of those truck models
When turning the steering wheel once in a while it seems hard to turn like you have a flat tire . I see there is a recall on some of the 2014 ford f150,s but not my VIN number .I called ford and they told me there is no recall . On the computer I see there is a recall bulletin under the federal safety agency . Campaign # 14v316000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. Upon starting the vehicle, the power steering failed to operate without warning. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to bondy's ford lincoln (3615 ross clark cir, dothan, al 36303, (334) 230-5941) where it was diagnosed that the power steering failed. The contact received a repair estimate of $1,600. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact of the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v316000 (steering); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000.
Starting a month or two ago while driving, the power steering on my ford f150 stopped working leading to an inability to turn without using a lot of strength. The issue appears to be relatively intermittent but frequent. This means sometimes I have the ability to steer normally, but more frequently than not I am muscling the vehicle through turns. The only precedence I can find for this issue is a recall on my same make, model, and year for the electric power steering, but upon talking with ford, my truck was not identified as part of the recall, even though all of the symptoms match. I cannot find any other precedence for the issue, and cannot find any guidance. All I know is that the vehicle is not safe to drive, as there is no telling whether or not I will be able to steer. On carcomplaints.com, it appears that about 70 other people have reported the same issue. Which leads me to believe the issue is very prominent, as I'm sure only a small percentage of people have reported the issue to this site.
I remotely started my truck that was parked in front of my house. I entered the truck to drive and got a warning light that said 'power steering assist fault'. I cannot move the steering wheel. I cannot steer the truck in any direction. This happened one day after my wife experienced the same issue but it corrected itself and she could drive the truck. The steering wheel is frozen and the truck is not maneuverable at all. Fortunately I was not driving fast when this happened.
While driving my 2014 f150 truck, the power steering suddenly got stiff whenever I turned into a right or left side street or encountered a tight curve in the road. Steering in these instances necessitated varying degrees of additional strength to make the turn and then the wheel rarely easily returned to a position to go straight thus resulting in over steering. I was towing my travel trailer through mountainous terrain at the time of the first incident on sept. 23,2019, but the problem continued upon detaching the trailer and under more normal terrain conditions. The truck has 80,600 miles of mostly highway driving. After some research, I am feeling that it is the epas system causing the problem. I bought this truck in early 2015. It was a leftover from 2014. I have also seen that there is a recall (14509/the federal safety agency recall 14v316) for this year and make, but since the truck sat at the dealer during the recall, I am wondering if the epas recall work was actually done. I have set a service appointment with the dealer on 9/26/2019 (nemer ford queensbury, ny) because I do not feel safe driving the vehicle and my wife will never be able to apply the strength necessary to turn the vehicle when the problem occurs. I fear how many of these vehicles are on the road waiting for really bad fatal accidents to happen. When the recall occurred, many of the affected vehicles were in the hands of dealerships and I am concerned that many were not repaired by those dealerships and the owners were never knowledgeable of the problem until incidents happened. There are many, many reports from owners of this make and model having epas systems.
When driving this vehicle the steering seems to lock up making a slight adjustment going down the highway will throw you either to the right or to the left if making a turn it will not turn in all of a sudden it will release itself and suddenly throw you into a turns harder than what you wish and if you're not real quick to react you will almost crash this that this is happened several times to us and also to the technician who just drove the vehicle he almost wrecked my truck because of steering locked up on him on a 90-degree turn this is a very much a safety hazard and a safety feature other trucks are the same year have been recalled for this and I believe the recall should be expanded this is a issue that was continuing to happen
My truck doesn't want to steer right. It's very hard to steer and sometimes the steering wheel sticks. Heard they are having issues with the electronic steering in these trucks. The vehicle is in motion when this is happening and it's when you are going around a bend. I should not have to pay to get this fixed. This is a major safety issue. It happens everytime I drive.
The power steering just stop working while driving on the thruway. The repair shop replaced the alternator and it work fine for 4 days. On the 4th day I started the truck and the steering was gone again. Taking it to ford today to find the problem. The 1st time on 8/18/20, 2nd time on8/23/20.
Steering is erratic steering is hard to turn from left to right . After turns truck fails to return to center. Had vehicle at an independent repair shop for service and stated all front end components are good a re flash of the steering rack and PCM was done with no change to the steering.
Truck gave "service advance trac" warning. Only 1 day later, a loud squealing came from front of truck, then less that 1 minute later, all steering was out. Fortunately I was in a parking lot when the steering went out while trying to park the vehicle. The noise came when turning the steering wheel either right or left. As of 6/18/2019, while checking mileage for this report, a warning of "power steering assist failure" came on.
The power steering has stopped working. There is a loss of steering control and impaired steering. The truck is impossible to drive and a huge safety hazard. We were told by our mechanic after he diagnosed it that this problem was part of a recall. Safety recall notice 14s09/the federal safety agency recall 14v316. We were then told by the ford dealership that our trucks VIN number is not part of the recall. That makes no sense that we were told by the mechanic that the exact problems we are having is the exact same thing this recall is fir but our truck doesn't fall under it. Please explain.
After hitting bumps in the highway the truck starts to wobble uncontrollably and the only way to get it back is to slow down to 30mph and then the wobble will stop. We have replaced the track bar, stabilizer, brakes and rosters, new tires, and balances.
Initial startup, vehicle is cold. Steering has binding occurring that increases and decreases as the wheel is turned in either direction as I am driving, as it is turned from full left to right, or right to left. It requires substantial force to continue to turn the wheel to get the vehicle to go in the desired direction. As vehicle warms up, the force required to turn the wheel lessens, but still requires significant force to steer in either direction. If it became necessary to make an avoidance maneuver, it may not be possible due to the force required to steer the vehicle in the necessary direction. This has been occurring for about a week.
While driving the power steering will lockup. It would last for a few moments and then be ok. Then while driving at normal speeds will continue to do this of and on till I stop. This all happens now every time I go anywhere. There is a recall for this matter on the 2014 f150 but ford tells me not on my truck and they will not help me at all. This has been going on for months now and when I got it checked out that is when the dealer told me why it is happening. Recall #14s09 (epas)
