When I was on my way back home from work my car started to shake and then the power steering fault came up on my dash. So I had no power steering and when that went out I was going about 60 and I almost wrecked my car because of it.

Tamara recall, the traction light come on and off the power steering failure light come on and makes a screeching noise, and the power steering gets extremely stiff in turns like it's about to lock up. The car only has 44,000 miles. All this happened while on a city street when turning. It's the electric power steering/ rack and pinion. There are a lot of post on youtube as well.

While making a right hand turn the steering completely locked up. On my console a message stating that I had a power steering assist fault showed up. Since I could not turn the wheel I had to stop immediately since it was heading into the center median. I restarted the car couple of times but the steering would not budge. Had to have a tow truck pick the car up. Took it to my mechanic who informed me that the electronic steering was completely locked up and even when up on the rack it would not budge. Since I was turning I had slowed down otherwise this could have resulted in a serious accident since I could not move the wheel at all.

This is a safety recall issue loosing power steering in my mustang while driving. After further research on this problem ford does have lots of recalls on this problem. But didn't find my year 2014 for a recall. The problem is I did loose my power steering while driving and this is unsafe since I do drive my car fast. My default light or warning light did come on as I pulled over and found it hard to steer my vehicle. This is the first time my car has done this and will monitor the problem. I tried to restart the car my turning the key off and on a few times but did not fix the problem. So I reset the system by disconnecting the battery cables and that did fix the problem and got back my power steering on my mustang. There is no power steering pump on this car as the rack pinion is controlling the power steering.

Vehicle had an immediate loss of power steering when making a right hand turn. Vehicle continued to have no power steering for two blocks. Made it to my driveway turned the car off, restarted and then all was okay. Does not explain the sudden loss of power steering. Luckily I was in my residential neighborhood at 35mph
