| Description of the problem | My wife was backing out of a parking spot at a shopping center when the power steering went out on our 2010 milan. There were no previous warning notifications prior to this incident. The warning lights indicated to service advance track and service power steering now. I have read that there are recalls for this problem with 2011 milan's and above but not the 2010. Were the same steering components installed in the 2010 as in the 2011 and above. I'm thankful that my wife was just in a parking lot when this took place and no on the express way. Currently at the ford dealer. Waiting to see what the cost will be to repair !!!!! Does someone have to get seriously injured or die before ford will include the 2010 milan for this power steering problem. |
