| Description of the problem | My 2018 f150 began having steering assist failure at approx 50,000 miles. There have been two ocassions where while driving steering assist goes out and the steering wheel gets stiff almost causing me to collide with other vehicles. I contacted ford about the issue and as they are aware the only solution was to replace the rack and pinion at my expense. At 63,000 miles my pick up has no power steering. |
