I just replaced my tie rods and sway bars and definitely the alignments off. Could this cause the power steering assist fault issue?

Having same issue. They should be all called back, obviously Ford problem

If your battery light came on just before this happens it is the battery, charge it or replace and issue will be resolved. Bad battery messes up electric power steering, google it

This is a summation of all these useful comments: 1- if you drive over potholes or rough road 2- if it's cold or freezing outside, the ford escape will fail.. Power steering goes out, happened to me yesterday and will keep happening. 3-You will get cheated and taken advantage of by mechanics. What do we do other than complain or help each other? We don't buy Ford. You folks realize that with all these electrical issues that Ford is going FULL EV BY 2025? Talk about delusional.....

I have the same issue took to Ford dealership they had it for three days told they MIGHT be able to fix it for three thousand dollars no guarantee

Alot of these issues are actually the Gauge cluster solder connections. The can bus messages have to go through the cluster. If they are delayed or distorted, the epas will error out. To know if it's your cluster, push on the upper right of the cluster while starting the vehicle and see if the power steering returns. If so, then you just need the cluster repaired.

It happened to me today that's why I'm watching this

Have an issue with my 09 mariner premier. Loud clunking/clicking noise while driving and making a turn. Replaced rack and pinion, cv shafts, stem joint, that sensor you shown and still cannot figure out what the issue is.

When the vehicles moving it's nothing like that to turn the only difficult when you're trying to park and s*** yeah it sucks people actually buy manual rack and pinions and install them in their vehicle and drive them around daily without electric or without fluid those not end of the world or dangerous

Great illustrations well done..

Ford should replace them all if there's a recall. No matter what plant, city it was manufactured

This happened to my 2011 Ford Escape a few weeks ago and I'm going thru the same exact issue. I checked my vin to see if I qualify for the recall but unfortunately it's not. But it's doing the same issue in this video

2009 ford escape same problem

I have a 2012 ford escape xlt and i went to start it last night and out the blue this started happening. It just out the blue the wheel was hard to turn

My 2012 escape has the same problem.

my 2012 escape did that today. ive only had it 3 months. Im gonna raise some hell

I have 2009 ford escape how replace the rack pinion?

How replace the rack pinion

2014 same problem.

My daughter and grand daughter almost died and took out another family going 59 mph down hiway and powersteering cut out and crossed center line into oncoming traffic at rush hour. This is bullshit that they never recalled all these tributes. This a 2008 with 100k on it

I did brake’s on my 2011 escape jacked up one side at a time and now it has to much power steering to the left and none to the right 😂

My 2012 Ford Escape has been doing this off and on for at least a year. When it locks up, it will not budge an inch!! Very scary!!! I turn it off and back on and it usually works, but lately, one time, it took 5 minutes to get it to work. Mechanics said whole column needs replaced quoting me almost $2,000. Other videos and person said it's a torque sensor. There are videos on how to replace those. Much cheaper.

I have a 2012 Ford escape and I'm having this issue but I turn it off and it comes back on just once but I had my windshield replaced that had the sticker for which plant it was assembled at but could it be this issue or something else?

I have a 2013 escape and power steering is out. I like no power steering is this OK?

I bought a 2008 Ford Escape with no power steering. I took it to the Ford dealership knowing I might pay for for a whole column or atleast the same sensor shown in this video. The tech updated the codes in the car and that's all it took for it to work correctly. I've had no problems with it since.

Mr IBARRA, ****I thought you had a video on how to change the power steering motor. It was the best & easiest installation I've seen. It now shows its a hidden private video. Could you PLEASE send me that video?******(

I had this problem fixed by my Mechanic, he did it, and it was very difficult to align properly. He had to get another sensor. Big question: Will this be permanently aligned? I am afraid that when I drive the car, it will suddenly freeze or turn to full left or right when I am driving, especially during high speed.

2009 Ford escape limited not in Kansas plant but does this exact same thing.

It’s probably just that sensor you showed on the paper. It’s super common on these and can happen on other cars with electric power steering. It’s the problem when you add sensors to everything

dang, my 2011 escape was built in kansas but the isn't egilible for the recall. thanks for the video tho! was worth a shot

The odd thing is the tool icon did not illuminate.

I have this issue with my 2011 Ford Fusion SEL! In 2015, there was a recall for 2011-2012 Ford Fusions for Power Steering Assist Failure, however, according to Ford, my particular 2011 Fusion has no recall because my car was built in June 2010 and the recall only involved Fusions build from September 2010 to February 2012! Well, I think this is BS because my power steering failure issue is identical to the recalls of the Fusions that were under recall! Ford doesn't want to fix my defect and wants me to pay over $2K for the replacement of the steering problems! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER AGAIN WOULD I EVER BUY A FORD, PERIOD!!! I actually inherited this Ford Fusion from my mom who was too disabled to drive it any longer.

My customer has the same problem but the other mechanic bought her the whole steering rack...I hope that’s the problem if not I’ll try n find the problem Myself!

I have that same power steering fault issue happened on Christmas day. It was recalled in 2014 and repaired by the previous owner. They refuse to fix a recall twice and is charging over two grands for repairs

My 2008 escape having the same problem

I have this same issue with my 2011. Now happening frequently. Thank you for this info. I hope you were able to get your vehicle fixed. I will definitely go to my local dealer to inquire about service and make a stink if not addressed. This is ridiculous. It has happened in my car a few times through the last few years but is now a big issue. Happening more and more. It is a real danger. You are driving along and the power steering just stops working. Be careful.

Mine just started if I shut off set alarm unlock and start will free up... terrible

This just happened to me today and realized it’s all electric power steering

Reset it sometimes that work

It happened to me, was scary. I have to stop and restart the vehicle

Thank you! That just happened to me on the way home. I ran for the fluid.... No power steering fluid reservoir in my Escape. Now I know it's electrical.

My friend has a Ford Focus and it has this same problem. The shop wants $2900 to fix it. Ford has apparently put in this new system saving them money on the build side but screwing the customers later on. They must fix this problem. I wonder how many people have died as a result of losing power steering while driving. This is why lawyers are needed to make them accountable for their actions.

This is what happened to my 2013 Ford escape right now

Did this part fix the issue? I’m looking to fix it man cause it happened on the way to work . Definitely don’t have the budget for a new car so I’m kinda stuck having to fix it

Hi

Find a junk yard and buy a steering assembly. You will need it one day and if not you can sell it one day as ford has none for sale. 10/22/2022

10/12/22 , Ford Escape 2018, steering went out and Ford Factory doesn’t have any replacements assemblies as they are on back order . They also don’t have a date of filling back orders. So mine is sitting at the dealer alone with a few others in the same situation. Mine also received a new engine in 2019 at 20,000 miles. Ford is not backing up the steering under warranty when it is clearly a drivability issue. When this thing quits you need to wrangle the steering with 80 to 90 pounds of force. That would spell a wreck for all but the athletes. If you have one of these …dump it. Ford quality is a failure.

-- 2009 Ford Escape electric power steering unit has a relay board. When the relay gets old, then it only works intermittently. Relay board is NOT sold separately. You must replace the whole unit. Junk yards sell them for about $150. They are fairly easy to replace .... If steering doesn't work. Turn car off. Count to 30. Turn key switch on. Count to 30. Start car. Relay gets slow to click on when old, so go through the starting procedure slowly like described, and often times the relay will kick on.

I have the same issue on my 2011 Ford Escape... There is a trick that works for me. I turn the wheel to the left and give some gas while starting and power steering will turn on... I have a lose serpentine belt, maybe it causes something ... Since the power steering is electric I think when I rev up it gives some electric boost than let the power steering start correctly... I have some play in the wheel, I think replacing the U joint can probably help. For others with power steering problems, please know that some people have been able to remove only the power steering motor without removing the full steering column and it has fixed all their problems. Find a power steering motor and replace only that. Don't buy the full steering column. There is a video on RUclips on how to replace only the power steering motor easily...

Did anyone try the torque sensor? Thank you
