Description of the problem	Experienced common epas failure multiple times. Have experienced at high speeds, losing control of all steering. This issue has been well documented all over the internet, and is actually a recall in some ford vehicles, including the 2014. But they have not issued a recall for the 2013. This is a major concern and safety issue. I've received this issue when vehicle gets wet from rain or car wash. And i've also experienced it when hitting a bump at both low speeds and high speeds. Such as a bridge deck seam on the freeway, pothole, rumble strips, gravel road washboard etc. When hitting these bumps, or when caused due to moisture, "service advance trac" message comes on dash, and all power steering is lost until vehicle is turned off and started again. Not only is this an extremely expensive fix, it is extremely dangerous, and could put a driver in a life and death situation. This needs to be recalled by ford on all vehicles they manufactured with this epas system in it.
