Description of the problem	"power steering assist fault" light comes on and power steering locks up or becomes very difficult to steer. I barely avoided an accident. I had to stop the car in traffic because i couldn't steer the car. I found i could barely steer the car with great effort and was able to drive car to side of road. This very same issue appears to be across many ford/lincoln 2010-2013 models. There was a recall for apparently the exact issue in 2015 (included 2011-2013 lincoln mkt) but not the 2010 which i have. My car is experiencing the exact issue. A quick research online shows that this problem is experienced by many ford/lincoln cars sharing the same "electronic power steering assist" system. This is a very serious and dangerous issue! The steering of the car itself become locked and nearly inoperable while driving. Apparently the nhtsa is already looking at this very issue (see here: https://www. Detroitnews. Com/story/business/autos/ford/2016/10/03/fusion-edge-nhtsa-investigation/91473188/). The nhtsa needs to know that the issue is common to the "electronic steering assist system" not only in the "fusion" or "edge" but across many ford/lincoln models including the lincoln mkt. The specific ford/lincoln part is a "trw gen 1 epas" module. This same module is used on many ford/lincoln cars. Only some of the cars containing the "trw gen 1 epas" module were part of past recalls. All ford/lincoln models containing the "trw gen 1 epas" module should be recalled/repaired before someone gets killed.

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.
