I started the car, backed up and suddenly I had no power steering. No warnings just unable to budge the steering wheel. Car is still sitting at a restaurant . If this happened to anyone while driving there is no way they could control this car! There is a recall on this issue with 2011 milan but not 2010 but there have been numerous complaints of this issue. Someone is going to get hurt or worse if ford doesn't fix this. The 1700 plus repair is impossible for most of us!!!

Service steering now light came on while driving, then the steering wheel locked. Had to have car towed to repair shop. It cost me $1780 to repair. Recall on the 2011 but not the 2010, sad situation.

My steering assist stopped working when I was parking my vehicle. I'm fortunate that no cars were next to where I was parking because the car went into the next parking spot without my control. I see that 2011 mercury milan have been recalled for this reason. I was in motion when this happened.

Power steering failed while driving in neighborhood at 30 MPH. The power steering gear assembly and tie rods were replaced 3 months/3,000 ago for the same exact failure. There needs to be a recall for the milan 2010 for this issue just like there is a recall for the milan 2011 and fusion 2011/2012. See initial complaint # 11081366.

Car was having no problems until 30 seconds after I put it in drive, the car started beeping and flashing the warning sign 'service advancetrac'in yellow letters and then a minute later it beeped and said 'service power steering now' in bold red letters. I parked my car at work and the steering wheel locked up and I couldn't get it to budge. Had to have my car towed.
