Car was parked when I started it up. I got a steering assist fault message. Guess it's a common problem with Ford's epas. They should be held accountable like takata because of the huge safety risk. According to Ford my VIN isn't part of the recall for the same model and year. Ridiculous.

- Exeter, CA, USA

I started the engine, I had no power steering, power steering fault lit up on the dash. Shut off car, restarted engine, power steering was restored. If this failure occurs while driving down the road, the car is near impossible to steer. I looked up recalls on this vehicle, there is one for cars produced 9 months before mine, but mine is not included in this recall. The symptoms are identical, I suspect this car should be subjected to the recall as well.
