Description of the problem	An intermittent electrical connection in the steering gear disables electric power-steering assist while driving, making the vehicle difficult to control. Received a "steering assist fault-service required" warning. This occurred while driving n about 50 mph on i-95 in jarrett, va. On may 27, 2016. Stopped, called roadside assistance. Was told the only option was a tow. Closest dealer already closed for long weekend. Another dealer an hour away suggested cycling car on and off several times. We did and car was ok. Took car to local dealer in hardeeville sc on return home- unable to replicate the problem and said we have to drive car in spite of this safety issue - which appears identical to one that forced the recall of 2011 to 2013 ford flex's.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
