2014 Ford Mustang Steering

I was driving down the road and just lost power steering , a message came on and said loss of power steering assist , I pulled o er cut the car off waited a few min then started it back up and it was working again , then about 10 miles down the road it did it again

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL DETACHED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE STEERING WHEEL BACK IN AND DROVE VERY SLOWLY TO HER RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS-22279956. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 38,000 MILES ON IT.

THE BOLT ON OUR 2014 MUSTANG'S STEERING COLUMN (INSIDE BY THE FIRE WALL) CAME LOOSE AND FELL OUT CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SPIN FREELY. FORTUNATELY THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT WHERE THE CAR COULD COAST INTO A PARKING SPACE AND NOT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER WHERE THEY ARE REPLACING THE BOLT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL INADVERTENTLY MANEUVERED TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANUALLY STEER THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT AGAIN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SAM PACK'S FIVE STAR FORD LEWISVILLE (1144 N STEMMONS FWY, LEWISVILLE, TX 75067, (469) 470-4900) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE RESULTS WERE UNKNOWN AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN THE STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. ON MY CONSOLE A MESSAGE STATING THAT I HAD A POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT SHOWED UP. SINCE I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL I HAD TO STOP IMMEDIATELY SINCE IT WAS HEADING INTO THE CENTER MEDIAN. I RESTARTED THE CAR COUPLE OF TIMES BUT THE STEERING WOULD NOT BUDGE. HAD TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK PICK THE CAR UP. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND EVEN WHEN UP ON THE RACK IT WOULD NOT BUDGE. SINCE I WAS TURNING I HAD SLOWED DOWN OTHERWISE THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT SINCE I COULD NOT MOVE THE WHEEL AT ALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT, THE VEHICLE'S STEERING ABILITY SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE DROVE STRAIGHT FORWARD INTO AN EMBANKMENT. THE CONTACT IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT MESSAGE APPEARED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE LOOSING POWER STEERING IN MY MUSTANG WHILE DRIVING. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM FORD DOES HAVE LOTS OF RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM. BUT DIDN'T FIND MY YEAR 2014 FOR A RECALL. THE PROBLEM IS I DID LOOSE MY POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING AND THIS IS UNSAFE SINCE I DO DRIVE MY CAR FAST. MY DEFAULT LIGHT OR WARNING LIGHT DID COME ON AS I PULLED OVER AND FOUND IT HARD TO STEER MY VEHICLE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME MY CAR HAS DONE THIS AND WILL MONITOR THE PROBLEM. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR MY TURNING THE KEY OFF AND ON A FEW TIMES BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. SO I RESET THE SYSTEM BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY CABLES AND THAT DID FIX THE PROBLEM AND GOT BACK MY POWER STEERING ON MY MUSTANG. THERE IS NO POWER STEERING PUMP ON THIS CAR AS THE RACK PINION IS CONTROLLING THE POWER STEERING.

3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT COMES ON AND POWER STEERING IS LOST. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD IT WAS BATTERY COST ALMOST $300. TOOK HOME NEXT MORNING SAME THING HAPPENS. SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC AND NO POWER STEERING. TOOL BACK TO DEALER AND TOLD ITS STEERING WHEEL GEAR GOING TO COST $1700. REALLY??!! IN A CAR 3 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES? THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY ON STARTING THE CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE POWER STEERING ABILITY FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ABILITY WOULD COME AND GO AND THE ACCUTRAX SERVICE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FAMILY FORD-LINCOLN (909 PIKE ST, MARIETTA, OH 45750 (740) 373-3431) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING BOX NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT NO REASON WAS GIVEN AS TO WHY THE POWER STEERING BOX NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. WHEN THE CONTACT ARRIVED HOME, HE FOUND WATER IN THE CONNECTOR PINS WITH THE POWER STEERING BOX, AND THE PINS WERE CORRODED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,600. *BF CONSUMER STATED ELECTRICAL STEERING BOX, POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE TERMINAL PLUG HAD WATER IN IT AND THE MALE TERMINAL; SPADE IS CORRODED CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING. UPDATED 7/24/18*JB *TR

VEHICLE HAD AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. VEHICLE CONTINUED TO HAVE NO POWER STEERING FOR TWO BLOCKS. MADE IT TO MY DRIVEWAY TURNED THE CAR OFF, RESTARTED AND THEN ALL WAS OKAY. DOES NOT EXPLAIN THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. LUCKILY I WAS IN MY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AT 35MPH

I'VE HAD TWO SITUATIONS WITHIN A TWO WEEKS SPAN OF EACH OTHER. BOTH TIMES I LOST STEERING POWER WHILE IN THE PARKING LOT, AND A STEERING POWER ERROR CROSSED THE INFORMATION BOARD ON THE DASH. THE FIRST TIME I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT IN 1ST GEAR AND THE STEERING STOPPED WORKING. THE SECOND TIME I WAS PULLING IN TO A PARKING SPOT AND LOST POWER WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE. I OWN A 2014 FORD 5.0 MUSTANG GT WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING WHEN POWER TO THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOST. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART TO GET THE POWER STEERING TO KICK BACK IN. THIS MADE THE CAR HARD TO TURN OUT OF NO WHERE WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I COULD'VE HIT ANOTHER CAR IN THE PROCESS HAD I NOT BRAKE IN TIME. THERE IS A WITHOUT A DOUBT A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING A 2014 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE FROM THE LONG BEACH AIRPORT (RENTAL) AND LOST STEERING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH. I WAS IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE AND AS I APPROACHED FULL SPEED, THE CAR BEGAN TO VEER INTO THE LANE TO THE LEFT OF ME. AS I TRIED TO CORRECT, THERE WAS A DELAYED RESPONSE BY THE STEERING MECHANISM BY ABOUT 3-4 SECONDS. THE CAR THEN VEERED BACK RIGHT, AND AGAIN, ANOTHER DELAYED RESPONSE. I WAS VEERING WIDELY BETWEEN THE WIDTH OF TWO LANES WHILE THIS WAS OCCURRING. THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT A MINUTE UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND EXIT THE FREEWAY. *TR
