Description of the problem	2013 ford f-150 stx with 45k miles-- steering suddenly became difficult to turn and would briefly freeze up when city driving, moving at 20-40 mph. I took it to woltz and wind ford and found out that the truck had electronic power assist steering. An intermediate shaft was replaced at a cost of $428. Further research on this problem has shown that there are many problems with this type of steering that can lead up to total steering failure and loss of control of the vehicle. I now am questioning whether to keep this truck that could cost me $2000 to fix when the rack needs replaced or possibly even cause an accident. Other ford vehicles with this same problem have been recalled so why has the manufacturers defect in this truck not been recalled?
