Without any warning or warning lights the electronic power steering system failed, and the turn signal will not remain on unless held manually (new problem that started when the power steering failed). It is very hard to turn without it, and I am a strong man, it's nearly impossible to turn with one hand so the turn signal can also be operated. Only 39000 miles on the vehicle.

Back up camera glitches either upside down, all black, or blue. Saying visit dealership. This effect the sensors when backing up. Multiple people have this problem with the 6th generation ford taurus. When you go to the dealership they tell you it's a $250 part with a additional $50 labor. Ford knows this is a problem, I personally think it should be recalled.

Was pulling up to a stoplight in town, the in dash lit up with "electric steering assist fail" and my steering wheel stiffened up as if I lost power steering, I stopped, cycled the key and the power steering returned. There was no prior warning or in dash lights to this incident. A week went by with no incident or sign of trouble. Was reversing out of a parking spot 7 days later and the same problem occurred. I cycled the key again, and the problem went away. I just left the ford service center and and they pulled the code c200d:49. Since the latest incident, there has been no problem. I declined the repairs as they were $2200 and I know ford has recalled previous years of my vehicle for the same exact problem.
