| Description of the problem | I have a 2013 ford f150 fx2 and when driving the past few days, the "power steering assist fault" signal came on and i automatically lose power steering in the truck. This has happened when starting the truck but also while moving and driving on the road (roughly 40 mph). Luckily, i was on a low traffic road to where i could get over however, this could be extremely dangerous on a busy highway. If my wife was driving at the time, she wouldn't be able to manually pull the steering wheel and get off the road and potentially get into an accident. Based on research, a lot of fords are experiencing this and action needs to be taken! |
