Ford Motor Company - Electric power steering failure Defect Investigation # PE14030
The office of defects investigation (odi) opened a preliminary evaluation to investigate complaints of the loss of power steering while driving. The subject vehicles are equipped with a rack mounted electric power assisted steering (epas) unit.Some of the complaints alleged that the steering assist failed and resulted in increased steering efforts that contributed to a loss of control and in some cases a crash.The epas system was manufactured by trw automotive for ford and was designated as generation i.These units were first produced and put into vehicle production in july 2008 beginning with the model year (my) 2010 ford fusion and mercury milan.The system is comprised of a mechanical steering rack-and-pinion gear with torque sensor, electric assist motor, motor position sensor and a power steering control module (pscm). The pscm is self-monitoring and designed to detect faults within the system and can store diagnostic trouble codes (dtcs) if a problem is detected.There are 29 potential dtcs the system can detect.Many of these allow the system to go into reduced-assist steering mode by using the default vehicle speed signal should the live speed signal be lost, if voltage to epas system falls below 10.7 or goes above 17 volts, the temperature at the pscm goes above 105c (221f), or if high friction is detected.Some dtcs will cause the system to go into manual steering mode (no assist). On july 1, 2015, ford filed a defect information report (dir) identifying a safety related defect in trw gen i epas systems installed in some of the subject vehicles (nhtsa recall 15v-340, ford no. 15s18).The dir indicated that intermittent electrical connections caused by quality issues associated with conformal coat contamination and ribbon cable pin misalignment within the steering gear motor may lead to a loss of the motor position sensor signal, resulting in a sudden loss of power assist while driving.The recall covers approximately 393,623 vehicles built from september 2010 through february 2012:2011-12 fusion built sep 2010 - feb 2012; 2011-12 lincoln mkz built sep 2010 - feb 2012; 2011 milan built sep 2010 - dec 2010; 2011-13 taurus built sep 2010 - feb 2012; 2011-13 flex with 3.5l gtdi engine built sep 2010 - feb 2012; and 2011-13 mks, mkt with 3.5l gtdi engine built sep 2010 - feb 2012.The repair consists of updating the pscm software to prevent a loss of steering assist while driving. The revised software will provide audible and visual warnings to the driver. If one or more of the following dtcs are stored, C1B00-62, C200B-2f, C200B-61, C200B-62, C200C-2f, C200D-49, U0300-00, U2011-49, U2011-61, U3000-46, U3000-49, U3000-61, U3000-72, U3000-96, P07AE-09, the dealer will replace the epas system at no charge to the owner.Odis analysis of failure data for this pe identified a total of 2,584 complaints to odi and ford and 9,967 ford warranty claims related to the alleged defect.The recalled vehicles account for 1,634 of the complaints and 7,311 of the warranty claims.Odis analysis identified 40 complaints alleging crashes that may be related to loss of steering assist while driving, 20 of which involved vehicles included in fords recall.The information available for the alleged crashes were not sufficient to assess specific causes of the incidents or to verify epas malfunctions in each case.Most of the crashes were low-speed impacts with curbs or roadside objects resulting in wheel or minor body damage.None of the injury claims indicated medical attention was required.In addition, statistical modeling of the failure data by nhtsas national center for statistics and analysis projected 10-year failur
2015 FORD EXPLORER with 32000.0 miles
Sport model front end has had a loud popping/ creak noise when going over bumps at a angle and also sharp low speed manuevers ( pulling into tight parking space) since it was basicly brand new. Loud ticking noise from front hubs at low speeds first visit to Ford was at 9,000 miles they could not duplicate it. Vehicle now has 32,000 miles roughly, the popping and creaking has gotten worse my wife was leaving work and was backing out of her parking spot and the rack and pinion locked up on her. Mulltiple wanring lights came on and she was unable to steer the vehicle. She called me and i told her to cycle the key multiple times and see if it will reset to be able to drive to my work so i could scan it and see what codes it has. She took surface streets to my work. It had codes P0022: cam timing over retarted P052D: cold start cam timing over retarted P193E: a/c clutch request signal U0121: lost communication with abs control module C1B00: steering angle sensor this is the second time cam phaser codes came up. They replaced cam phaser this last visit and vehicle still stumbles/misfire feel at idle. They were "unable to duplicate" rack and pinion/ suspension noise. My wife does not feel safe driving vehicle. It has been getting random hard spots while driving. I took it to another local Ford dealer and they want to charge me for diagnostic if they cant "duplicate" i just got done paying for 3 weeks of rental and cant risk several hundred more dollars to have them, say they cant duplicate it. So i will be picking up the Explorer and i am now stuck with a unsafe vehicle as the steering could "lock up" again at any point. There are multiple cases just like mine that i found and i am not willing to risk having my wife and child have the rack and pinion fail while she is going down the freeway we got lucky with it locking up while at low speed the first time.

2013 FORD EXPLORER with 86000.0 miles
Power steering goes out while driving. 2013 Ford Explorer, 86,000 miles. My wife was driving around a curve, going about 45 miles per hour on a highway, when it first went out. The steering wheel jerked itself back to the center and my wife had to slam on the brakes and force the wheel to steer safely to the side of the road. The screen shows atc needs to be serviced. Codes shown are : C1B00-steering angle sensor U0131- lost communication with power steering module my vehicle is now unsafe to drive. There is a recall for earlier manufacture dates concerning what seems to be the same issue.

2013 FORD EXPLORER with 58500.0 miles
Lost power steering while driving. Traction control fault and terrain control fault came on. The steering box now needs to be replaced. I have codes C1B00-62, U2001, U0415, and the same issue that meets the requirements of recall 14s06, but my vin is not in the data base for this. The recall specifically calls out vehicles from the chicago plant. 11th letter in my vin shows it came from the chicago plant. Ford and the dealership refuse to consider this a recall item, i strong disagree with them.

Back out of garage turned steering wheel to left; put in drive pulled ahead , advance track light came on and service advance light also came on . If you don't reset light the signal lights don't work unless you hold the lever up or down it bring codes up C1B00 and U0428-20 andU2101 which dealer says steering sensor is bad but not serviceable so you need new electric steering rack. This is on a 2012 f150xlt and there is no recall but i think this is a safety issue, also i think it is a power train issue.

2012 FORD F-150 with 69800.0 miles
While driving the vehicle on highway and turning left the steering wheel would not return to center. The driver had to manually with effort in order to avoid crossing into opposing lane, return steering to right. Took vehicle to local dealer, found fault code C1B00. Steering angle sensor failed. Ford is probably aware of this problem that appears to be do to overheating in engine compartment. Occurrence usually out of warranty. Cost $1800.

2012 FORD F-150 with 18575.0 miles
Reversing vehicle as in a parallel parking maneuver with steering locked, service advancetrac warning displayed. Vehicle operated normally but turn signals would not stay on when activated. System automatically reset later after vehicle was shut off and restarted but warning returned during same type of maneuver. Dealer diagnosed code C1963 and C1B00. Steering rack and pinion (aka steering gear) was replaced. Code C1B00 indicates issue with steering angle sensor. The electric power assisted steering (epas) in the f150 has no serviceable parts so when the sensor goes bad, the rack goes bad. Very coincidental that Ford recalled 2014 f150s for a similar problem (see nhtsa recaii14v316.)

2011 FORD F-150 with 72600.0 miles
On three separate occasions while backing into my driveway in my 2011 Ford f150 xlt as i turned my steering wheel sharply to the right and began backing up my service advance trac warning light lit up. Each time the light would go away upon restarting the truck. The forth time it came on while conducting a 3 point turn at slow speed, however the light remained on and dash displayed a picture of front wheels at hard lock right reading 37degrees of angle while i was driving straight ahead. At that time my turn signals stopped working unless held on. Upon restarting the truck the warning remained on and display failed to show change in wheel position when turning steering wheel. I brought it in to dealer to have it checked and two codes were present (C1B00 and U2101). I was told vehicle needs electronic steering rack replaced. I then looked issue up and found there is already a tsb for this issue. I feel lucky that this issue has only occurred at slow speeds others were less fortunate and were involved in potentially deadly accidents. Other accounts of this issue began as mine and problem progressed into a total loss of power steering and in ability to straiten steering wheel. I feel Ford needs to look further into this potentially deadly issue!
