Description of the problem	The service advance trac warning light appeared on the vehicle console, turn indicators would not work while vehicle was moving, or stationary. Hit the ok button as indicated on the vehicle console, and the warning light went off. Turned off vehicle and after restarting the vehicle and driving forward the service advance trac warning went off. Drove to a local lowes store approximately 2 miles away. After returning to the vehicle and putting the vehicle in drive, the power steering would not work and a new warning appeared epas "electric power assist " fail and the service advance trac warning also came on. Called a tow truck and was towed to local ford dealership. Since the vehicle is a 2012 with 53,000 miles it is not covered under warranty from ford. I was very fortunate that i was not driving the vehicle on the busy highway "wilma rudolph blvd." i had been on just a few moments prior to the steering problem as i am sure an accident would have been very hard to avoid.
