| Description of the problem | While driving my truck the power steering went out and the dash flashed power steering assist default. This happened 4 times that day and each time if i stopped and turned the truck off and restart it would be fine. This happened randomly. Took it to the dealer and they act like they know what is going on but refuse to tell me exactly what. The say the rack is out. The 2014 has a problem for this and is under a recall but the 2013 they are making me pay and my extended warranty is refusing to pay. Sounds like ford know about this but are trying to cover it up. The dealer ship said it must be a big deal id they want the core back after replacing the rack. |
