Took the vichicle in for recall of the airbag. Was informed byhe dealer they had reprogrammed the steering computer. after approximately 3 months I now have no power steering, almost all the warning lights on the dash are on. Dealer informed me they do not do repairs on a vehicle this old. My mechanic says repairs would be in excess of two thousand dollars at my expense. I found there are over 2700 other complaints similar in nature on this vehicle series.

Had a catastrophic brake failure a couple days ago. Had a Christmas tree of lights from traction control, brakes and the wrench. The brakes had about 15% power effectiveness and went down nearly to the floor. Was forced to have a significant car gap when driving, downshift gears and use the emergency brake when slowing down and stopping. This is the worst hazard situation I have had in over 40 years of driving. Brake fluid was full. No leaks on the lines, calipers are fine, brakes were recently replaced(within past 2 months) and are fine. I have a picture of the warning lights documenting problem. I have not had any previous errors or problems like this.

I was driving straight on a residential street and brakes all of a sudden were not working properly. They went all the way to the floor and all the warning lights came up on the dash. Had to pull over and have vehicle towed. This had also happened a couple days before in a parking lot where I was able to pull over and get vehicle stopped. I waited a while and when I turned the vehicle back on the problem was no longer there. When it happened the second time I no longer felt it was safe to drive so had it towed to a ford dealership. It was repaired and I have not had another issue.

While turning into a parking lot the steering became very difficult. Once the car was in the parking spot I noticed that several warning lights had come on including the advanced track and power steering lights. The car was turned off then restarted. The advanced track light flashed while the power steering light stayed on. At that point the steering wheel could not be turned and the car had to be towed to a ford dealership. They advised that the entire rack and pinion assembly had to be replaced. Prior to this event there were no indications of a problem.

While driving to work all of a sudden my advance trac light went on and there was no steering at all. All the lights went dead and I had to stop in the middle of the street. I tried to get the car to the side of the road before stopping but wasn't able to maneuver it, it was too hard to steer. After stopping short I finally was able to force the steering wheel to turn and moved to the side of the road. I read the manual and it said turn off the car and restart, I did and nothing happened. I called aaa and they towed me to ford in toms river, nj. It cost me $2,152.14 for the steering rack to be replaced as well as having my car for 6 days and having to rent a car for additional costs.
