Description of the problem	Power steering locks up when driving. It started (03/01/2019) with the advance trac-control light turning on and the steering wheel would become very difficult to turn. Now (07/03/2019) the power steering cuts out and locks up all the time. Did i mention that it is my steering wheel that is affected by this issue- the device that allows me to maneuver the vehicle and helps to keep the vehicle from getting in an accident and possibly severely injuring or killing myself or someone else? Ford knows about this problem (as evident from the many other complaints and testimonies submitted to date) - and i have even taken it to the dealer but to no avail. With so many complaints regarding this issue, i cannot believe that ford has not issued a recall to fix the issue of the """"power steering cutting out""""" which in turn makes the steering wheel very difficult to turn, which in turn makes the vehicle very, very, very difficult to control. This occurs at speeds from 5 mph to 70 mph with no warning and happens in the middle of a left turn, in the middle of a right turn, while driving straight, while driving up a hill, while driving down a hill!!!!! Are you kidding me - a company that puts not only the lives of people who purchase their products at risk but all of the general public's lives at risk due to a problem that they are aware of is appalling, at best!!!!! I have read statement after statement after statement on this issue """"power steering cuts out"""" and all i can say is that if ford does not step up and take care of this issue, but continues to turn away from it, then i too shall turn away from ford!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
