“Vehicle's electronic power steering turned off in the middle of driving, turning on highway, this has happened 3 times, seems like when the heat is on. Recall 14s05c shows up in service records from this car. Works was done my mahopac ford, mahopac, ny. Reflash ic and pscm. This recall was apparently addressed, but the problem has come back. I just bought this car used two weeks ago. It did not have this problem until I turned the heat on. Not sure what to do.”

NHTSA complaint #11019078, filed 2017-08, 75,000 miles“I was driving my car merging on to the expressway in a construction zone and as soon as I got on the car completely lost power. I could not push on the gas or anything. Luckily there was an opening in some cones for me to barely have enough power to get out on one lane of traffic in a construction zone in morning rushing hour traffic. I had to turn my car off and luckily it came back on. I have read online that this has been happening to so many people that the part is on national back order. This is crazy! I had my 1 year old daughter in the car and we could have been hit. …”
