- Folsom, PA, USA

My steering went from easy to turn to very hard to turn. I was pulling onto highway and it went to so hard to turn I could not turn back into the lane I was supposed to be pulling into. This was not the only time either!! I have researched and found numerous complaints with the same issues. This is a safety hazard, not only for the driver but for others on the road. With the amount of the same complaints this should be a safety recall. I know I am only one life but I am a mother, a daughter, a friend and I think that makes my life pretty important! thank you for you help!

The 14S05=recall number. I only found it through credit karma. It concerns the eps component failing and causing the vehicle to become hard to steer! I have never received a notice of recall for this vehicle I drive to work, and I swing shift, day, evening, and midnight on dangerous roads!

My 2009 Ford Escape XL became virtualy impossible to turn a corner or turn the wheel at all to park my car on May 2,2018. I almost threwh my back out just trying to get home after a 15 minute drive. I had it towed to a mechanic who told me the steering modulator needed to be replaced and this included the whole steering column. This mechanic is aware of the 2008-2011 recall involving the Ford Escape manufactured in Kansas usa. My Escape was manufactured there but I was told the vehicles being recalled for the steering issue were from a different pant number. My mechanic disagrees and feels my Ford Escape has the same exact faulty issue and it is a hazard to drive.
