WHILE DRIVING WEST ON I-80 AT NIGHT AT 75MPH IN WYOMING THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING WITHOUT NOTICE. A FORD DEALER SAYS THE EPAS SYSTEM FAILED AND HAS TO BE REPLACED BY THE OWNER FOR $800. THIS OCCURRED EVEN AFTER THE FORD EPAS PSCM RECALL REPROGRAMING WAS PERFORMED IN 07/2014.

TAKATA RECALL. RECALL ISSUED JUNE 1, 2016, AS OF OCTOBER 20, 2017, STILL NO REMEDY PER WEB SITE AND THE DEALER I CALLED. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING DEFECT AND A REMEDY SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOUND BY NOW.

SOFT BRAKE PEDAL, PEDAL GOES MOST OF THE WAY TO FLOOR TO STOP. REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER AND PADS. INFORMED THAT HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT WAS BAD AS WELL(COST OF AN ADDITIONAL $1300.00). CONCERNED ABOUT THE COST OF REPAIR AND STORIES OF OTHERS THAT HAD REPEATED FAILURES OF THE HCU. FORD SHOULD REPLACE UNIT FOR FREE AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. I WILL PAY FOR THE REPAIR ONCE, BUT DON'T WANT TO BE BLEED REPEATEDLY.

I AM HAVING TO MANUALLY STEER MY 2011 MERCY MILAN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. THERE WERE TWO CODES FOUND AND THEY ARE DTCS U3000-49 AND C2000D-49. I WAS QUOTED IT WOULD BE $1600.00 TO FIX THE CAR. I GOOGLED THE CODE "DTCS U3000-49 FORD" AND THE SEARCH BROUGHT ME TO THE WEBSITE FOR A RECALL ON 2011 MERCURY MILAN'S. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 15S18. PER THE RECALL, THE AFFECTED VEHICLES HAVE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST SYSTEMS THAT MAY SHUT DOWN AS A RESULT OF A STEERING MOTOR SENSOR FAULT. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND THEY TOLD ME ACCORDING TO MY VIN, MY CAR WAS MADE 9/2/2010 AND THE RECALL BEGINS FOR CARS MADE 9/7/2010 AND AFTER. THEY CLAIMED MY CAR HAS A DIFFERENT PART. BUT OBVIOUSLY, MY CAR IS HAVING THE SAME LACK OF POWER STEERING AS THE RECALL AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND STEER. I DECLINDED SERVICE BUT I WILL END UP HAVING THEM REPAIR MY VEHICLE FOR SAFETY REASONS.
