“Car was having no problems until 30 seconds after I put it in drive, the car started beeping and flashing the warning sign 'service advancetrac'in yellow letters and then a minute later it beeped and said 'service power steering now' in bold red letters. I parked my car at work and the steering wheel locked up and I couldn't get it to budge. Had to have my car towed.”
NHTSA complaint #11047151, filed 2017-11, 33,500 miles“Got service power steering now & service advancetrac warnings and lost power steering and lost power steering. There were no previous warnings to the effect indicating service prior to fault. It was a sudden event that could have caused an accident or death if someone not as strong as I was driving. I was able to muscle the car to keep it within the lanes and drive safely back home.”
NHTSA complaint #10968449, filed 2017-03, 88,000 miles“My steering assist stopped working when I was parking my vehicle. I'm fortunate that no cars were next to where I was parking because the car went into the next parking spot without my control. I see that 2011 Mercury milan have been recalled for this reason. I was in motion when this happened.”
NHTSA complaint #11130897, filed 2018-09, 135,000 miles“I was driving on the highway when my power steering and traction assist failed. A warning indicating that I service the power steering immediately appeared. Indicator lights for both power steering and traction control appeared. Upon turning off and restarting the vehicle the problem did not resolve.”
NHTSA complaint #10885155, filed 2016-07, 155,000 miles“I started the car, backed up and suddenly I had no power steering. No warnings just unable to budge the steering wheel. Car is still sitting at a restaurant . If this happened to anyone while driving there is no way they could control this car! There is a recall on this issue with 2011 milan but not 2010 but there have been numerous complaints of this issue. Someone is going to get hurt or worse if ford doesn't fix this. The 1700 plus repair is impossible for most of us!!!”
