Description of the problem	While making a left hand turn at an intersection the steering wheel violently turned to the right forcing my truck to swerve off the road. I had no control over the car and could not get the steering wheel to move. Immediately the advancetrac warning light came on as well as the battery warning light. I did not lose power to the truck but was on able to turn the wheel. After a couple attempts of turning off the truck and starting it again i was able to get steering back. I tried to make it off of the freeway on ramp but was only able to make it a few feet until the steering failed again and swung the car to the right. I had the truck towed to the nearest ford dealership and they said that the steering gear failed. I was quoted $1950 for the part. The truck is just short of 60k miles and being out of warranty they said all i can due is file a report. I am having to pay for the repairs until my report is reviewed. I have read numerous reports of this same problem happening to other owners with the same year and make as my truck and think this is an extremely dangerous problem. I don't think it is right that any automobile can lose steering at anytime with out the option to at least maneuver the vehicle to safety. I am filing a report with ford to try and get reimbursed.
