 Description of the problemThis is the second time this has happened. We were driving on the freeway at about 65 mph with cruise control on but not set (icon was yellow and not green). We changed lanes and hit a rough place in the road, perhaps a slight pothole on the freeway. Suddenly the chime was heard and the message service advance trac, then service power steering now. The slide icon also appeared. We did not slow down and drove at least a half hour at highway speed. We stopped and parked the car at walmart. When the car was restarted, no power steering at all. My gentleman friend is a farmer. He drove the car home without the power steering, fought the steering for miles. We will take it in to the dealer to reset it. The first time this happened, i was driving around 75 mph with the cruise control activated but not set (yellow icon, not green). I maneuvered a broad turn on the freeway at speed, and the slide icon appeared. Then quickly the service power steering now message appeared. I continued driving for a mile, exited the freeway at my place of employment, and as i pulled into the parking slot, realized that the car was very difficult to steer. Later, when i restarted the car, no power steering. Had it towed, and the ford dealer reset the computer. This was 4 months ago. I wonder if there is a connection between cruise control engagement and advancetrac. Can advancetrac be deactivated?? ## vin failed ##
