2010 LINCOLN MKS

No power steering and Power steering assist failure warning message. Took to dealer, and they said the epas needed to be replaced. Also, that the oem part was no longer available, so they had to use after market part and would not guarantee the labor. 3 months later same problem. There is a recall for 2011-2013 same car with the same problem, but not for 2010. Defective epas system causing the failure. Spoke to Lincoln concierge and Ford concierge and they would not help with a remedy or with dealer support.

There have been 2 separate incidents involving a front collision at high speeds. Both times, the air bags did not deploy as they should have. The 2nd incident was today. The car is now totaled. The impact Both times should have deployed the air bags. My son was injured today due to this. A truck ran a stop sign and we hit him. None of the bags deployed. Speed was 45 mph. The whole front of the car and hood are completely crushed. There were no alarms during or before impact. This is the 2nd wreck.

My car will intermittently (more times than not) lose its power steering assist, making it almost impossible for me to drive. I've had the car looked at, replaced the rack and pinion assembly, put on new tires, ran a diagnostic, and the car still lacks power steering most of the time. When starting the vehicle, the wheel will lock up, and the message "Power Steering Assist Fault" displays, no matter how many times I try to restart the car and allow the computer to reset, the fault does not go away. I rarely have times when I can drive with a power steering assist. The car has become a serious problem because I cannot get to work or school safely; when driving the other day, the power steering went out, and I was almost in an accident. I believe that there is a defect in the 2010 MKS, just like there was with the other years that were recalled, the fact that this issue has cost me so much money (and I cannot get out from under the car, I would if I could), and still puts me at risk for

I STARTED MY CAR AND THE ERROR "POWER STEERING FAILURE" CAME ON, I WAS COMPLETELY UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND I CAN'T TURN IT AT ALL. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WERE DRIVING IT! THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND IF THE 2011'S WERE RECALLED, AND IT IS HAPPENING TO THIS MANY PEOPLE WITH A 2010, MAYBE THEY SHOULD DO A RECALL ON IT AS WELL!

WHILE DRIVING, ON RT. 264 THE EPAS STEERING TURNED OFF WITHOUT WARNING. MY WIFE HAD TO FIGHT TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE EFFORT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SO GREAT THAT I HAD TO TAKE OVER FROM MY WIFE. IT TOOK ALL MY EFFORT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, IT WAS SO STIFF. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TODAY AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT. THEY REPORTED THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY LOW TIRE PRESSURE. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS FROM THE TPMS. I WAS TOLD THAT, IN THE CASE OF A REOCCURRANCE, THAT SIMPLY INFLATING THE TIRES WOULD NOT SUFFICE, BUT THAT THE SYSTEM WOULD NEED TO BE RESET BY A FORD DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER.
