WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPS AND THE CAR BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS. IT HAS ALSO OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES PREVIOUSLY, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. VERY DANGEROUS!

TAKATA RECALL -- WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016 FOR THE AIRBAG IN OUR CAR. I JUST TALKED TO 2 FORD DEALERSHIPS AND THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND NO ONE KNOWS WHEN THIS WILL BE FIXED. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN UNREASONABLE DELAY TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

I JUST NOTICED THAT I NOW HAVE A MISSING WHEEL STUD AND LUG NUT ON BOTH OF MY FRONT WHEELS. THIS CAR DOES HAVE THE 17" STEEL WHEELS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR STUDS BREAKING BACK IN 2011, 11S23, AND ACCORDING TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE STUDS WERE INSPECTED AND LUGS NUTS WERE REPLACED BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JUNE OF 2011. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 86,805 MILES ON IT. THE LAST TIRE ROTATION WAS JUST ABOUT A YEAR AGO AT 75,114 MILES AND WAS DONE AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. AT THAT POINT I PAID TO HAVE ONE OF THE FRONT WHEEL STUDS REPLACE BECAUSE THEY SAID IT WAS STRIPPED OUT.

THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THE DASH INDICATED "SERVICE POWER STEERING". I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH GREAT EFFORT. I STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF. AFTER RE-STARTING THE CAR THE POWER STEERING WORKED. THE NEXT TIME THE CAR WAS STARTED THE POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK INDICATING "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AND "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC". THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN.

THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC AND SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE.
