 Description of the problemFirst of all my truck just now hit 30,000 miles. When starting the truck 3 days ago it gave us a display message of 'power steering assist fault' and we had no power steering to back out of the driveway. I turned the truck off, waited a minute then back on it didn't happen again. The next day it happened again while starting. Did the same thing of turning off waiting then back on didn't do it. Backed out of the driveway and while going down the street to get about 30mph it faults again and we can't steer. Stop the vehicle in the middle of the road, thankfully still in our neighborhood and turn it back on. Made it to work. Got in truck to leave work and it happened again. Same process turing it off and on. Got home. Then again this morning it happened again with the fault display. Turned it off and on again. But this time it did it twice in a row. And had to be turned off again. Took it in for a diagnostic and nothing shows up!! Of course!! Drove to work. Had to run an errand and it did it again when i started it then again while i was driving down the street about 20mph, thankfully it wasn't too busy, i put on my hazards and turned truck off and on and finished driving. What happens when it happens on the highway? Do i need to crash and kill someone or my family and kids to get a recall? The 2014 is recalled that uses same parts so i'm not sure why these aren't as well. Included is the picture taken this morning when it did it again.
