I was not notified from Ford about the serious safety recall on my 2015 Ford Taurus. I'd like to have this safety concern fixed immediately so I don't end up in a severe auto accident. I can drop my vehicle off. I've never had this happen and I'm nervous to drive the vehicle. I have noticed a difference in the way it drives please help get this sorted out with my local Ford Dealership in Fort Myers, FL. Thank you!
The contact's fiancé owns a 2015 Ford Taurus. The contact stated while his fiancé was driving approximately 35 MPH, the steering wheel seized. The contact stated that the power steering assist fault warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not drivable. The driver towed the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the steering gear and rack and pinion to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending repairs. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 110,717.
I was driving with my wife on the highway on June 26th, 2021. As I was going around a turn to the right I had a warning come up saying to service advance trac. Right as that happened my steering wheel locked up straight almost causing me to crash. I do not know what could have caused this. I have gotten both my battery and alternator checked and they both are completely fine. I am getting my recall taken care of on Thursday July the 6th so it will be looked over then to see what may have been the cause of it but a toe link would not cause something like this to happen. Ive asked family members that have been mechanics for over 10 years that don’t know what could have caused that to happen.
My car stalls when I'm driving and turns off. No check engine light on

One day I was driving down the road to work and my lights started blinking on and off saying steering fault service now. I literally just got the vehicle in april of 2020 and this all started in june.
Driving down the road, all of a sudden my power steering locks up with a default message. This happened driving straight down the city road going 40mph.

Car has approximately 58,000 miles on it. The alarm code "steering fault, service now" keeps periodically appearing on the dash, sometimes while driving and sometimes while just sitting in park. The steering becomes very hard to turn. This steering setup is an electronic steering assist instead of the old style power steering that used fluid. From what I can find, this was a previous recall for the earlier year models but have yet to issue the same recall for this year. There should not be any type of failure at this type of mileage. It seems to be an occurring problem with this car well below the 100k mileage marker. This should not be something that the owners should have to dish out of pocket. This is something that ford needs to own up to and replace due to their system being faulty.
My power steering went out while driving which was very scary and dangerous for myself and other drivers. I know this has been a recall for earlier taurus models 2011-2014 and I think this year needs to be included in that recall as well. The cost to fix is $2,500 at the dealership and during this covid 19 pandemic that is a lot of money.
Vehicle was stationary, as I had just turned it on. Steering would not move, called ford to ask and set up an appointment and went back out and it worked again. Steering felt very funny and did not drive it till I took it to the shop. Ford never stated the problem, no code present. They replaced the whole steering rack and called it good. I believe this is the issue where steering fails to work. A recall should occur.... This could become a huge issue if I was in motion. I believe the car was at 45 k mileage.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford taurus. While attempting to drive, the power steering seized and the power steering warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to gorno ford (22025 allen rd, woodhaven, mi 48183) where it was diagnosed that the electrical system needed to be updated. The contact was provided a repair estimate of $2,400. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 70,000. The VIN was unknown.
Steering fault service now and service advancedtrac warning lights came on while driving 40-50 MPH on highway. Steering became very difficult and unsafe. Slowing down and taking a corner on side street to get home was extremely hard to turn steering wheel. Turned car off. Restarted and everything back to normal. Brought in to dealer as my wife has some upcoming trips and wanted car safe. They said scan showed u0420 and c200d. The dealer said fault was the angle sensor and that was part of steering gear assembly. Whole assembly required replacement. Dealer advised there was a recall applying to same issue on 2013 taurus but not currently on 2015. Called ford customer service and they advised the same as dealer and recommended reporting it to the federal safety agency. Cost $2757.43 to fix a serious safety issue and re-alignment.
Power steering fault on 2015 ford taurus, previous years recalled for sane reason. Why no recall? Was driving home and my steering wheel jerked right and power steering went out, what if there were cars to my right?
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford taurus. The vehicle experienced loss of power steering while driving steering the vehicle required added effort the contact believes failure was power steering however, the mechanic was unable to verify due to no codes present at diagnostic the contact stated that while driving at approximately 50 MPH, without warning the power steering became inoperable.

I was driving to burlington ma on august 29, 2019 and, while making a right turn to enter onto rte 3 northbound, I lost all my power steering. At the moment of failure, the steering wheel snapped abruptly to the left almost causing me to hit the guard rail. Fortunately, I was able to wrestle/turn the steering wheel to the right and avoid an accident. I had no power steering all the way home. When I wrestled the car into my driveway at home, I shut it off, waited a minute and restarted the car. The dash idiot light was off and the power steering was working. I have not used and don't plan on using the car until this problem is fixed. I made an appointment to have this problem diagnosed and repaired on september 9, 2019. I believe the cause of the catastrophic failure is related to the sensors on the steering wheel column that communicate with the computer which controls the electric rack and pinion system.
The steering on our 2015 ford taurus has been disengaging while the car is being driven. First we get a message that the steering needs to be serviced. Next, another message flashed, the car jerks and the power steering disengages making it extremely difficult to control the car.
The steering on my 2015 ford taurus flashes a message to have the steering serviced. Shortly, following this when I begin to make a turn...another message pops up and the power steering disengages, making it virtually impossible to control the car.
My 2015 ford taurus was operating under normal conditions when two warnings appeared on the dash. One for a steering assist fault and one for an advancetrac service being required. I was driving on a country road as this occurred and approaching a sharp curve. As these lights illuminated the power steering was lost while operating at speeds about 60 MPH. Luckily I was able to safely bring the vehicle to a stop. When I went to the ford dealer today they advised that that this is a common issue with fords electronic power steering systems and that extended coverages are available on some models to replace the faulty items however the 2015 taurus is not covered. I work in law enforcement so I am a well trained driver and it is because of said training that I was able to avoid a collision when this system failed however it is extremely dangerous and I would be fearful that this could happen to a less trained driver and have catastrophic results.
While driving on I-95 s at 70 MPH. Steering wheel begin to twitch. Steering became extremely hard to turn and control vehicle. Steering light flash, traction control light also.I manage to get vehicle off highway safety.stop vehicle.

I was picking up my son after work. I had driven roughly 45 minutes and parked waiting for him for roughly 10 minutes. After he got in, we drove to the end of the street and turned on to the main road. 2 warnings popped up suddenly. 1 for power steering failure and 1 for stability control failure. Steering instantly became extremely difficult to control. I was able to pull into a gas station, and popped the hood. I wasn't aware at this point it was electronic power assisted steering. I quickly realized there was no power steering reservoir. I turned the car back on and steering control seemed to be restored. So I continued on. As I turned back on to the main road and the power steering failed again. Luckily I was only going about 500 feet down the road and managed to pull it in despite the increase in steering difficulty. The power steering failure has been present ever since.
48,217mi. I have had several occasions, while driving, where the power assisted steering has stopped working causing difficult steering as well as a "steering fault service now" message on my instrument cluster. Ford has recalled several vehicles for this same concern but my vehicle has not been included in the recall so far.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford taurus. While driving 60 MPH, the steering failed and the steering warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to rochester ford-lincoln, inc.

The failure mileage was 102,000.
So my 2015 ford taurus and I was coming to a stop at a stop light steering started to feel kind of tight. Almost is just on an older car my power steering fluid make it be getting a little low I continue going about my trip thinking that much of it when I got to my destination I checked to see if there was a power steering reservoir to see if the power steering fluid is low to find out that the ford taurus is an all electrical power assist system. I live in upstate new york and the weather has been pretty cold out so I thought maybe there was a ice build-up underneath the vehicle I'll have since washed the bottom of the car out and the weather is now in the 50 and I'm still in getting the numb tight feeling in the steering it's almost as if heading into a turn periodically at any speed the steering just seems to get tighter as if it's going to lock up I travel about 51 miles to work a day so I can notice a difference off and on throughout the trip
