Power Steering System went out while driving. A warning light for the Advanced Traction System came on shortly before the Power Steering went out. This caused me to hit a curb creating a tire blowout. I got both problems fixed and the mechanic stated the issue with the power steering was that a wire for the system was resting on the catalytic converter, which caused the wire to melt and create the power steering failure. The mechanic replaced the wiring and replaced the mounting for the wiring to prevent it from resting on the exhaust system. The defect was only inspected by the mechanic that repaired the vehicle. No insurance or police since I was lucky enough to make it home.

2017 Ford Edge titanium 57000 miles power steering has stopped and Ford will not help. The car still runs and I am driving without power steering. Local Ford says $ $3000 to fix. Warning lights of: "hill start assist not available"... (never had it anyway). "steering assist fault - service required" "service advance trac" - dashboard icon "stability control off" - dashboard icon... these warnings are on everytime I drive the car.. this started and first happened in mid Feb. 2020. It happened when I was backing out of a parking space. After a few feet it sort of stalled. I restarted and noticed immediately the lights and lack of power steering. Any help is appreciated. $3000 is a lot of money and I am surprised at the cost, lack of help from Ford and the fact that it is still running. Other wise it is a great car ! I have gone to youtube and discovered some electrical problems from others but nothing specific. Any help is great. Thanks.

While driving an alert came on that stated the steering assist needed service. I continued driving as I was in a remote area with no Ford dealership close by. The steering seemed a bit "loose" but the vehicle was operable. I parked the vehicle once I arrived at my destination with plans to bring it to my dealership when I returned from my trip. I started the vehicle a few days later and the display showed "steering loss stop safely", "service advancetrac" and "hill start assist not available" the vehicle could not be steered and had to be towed to the dealership.
