While pulling a trailer after 100 mile trip down a major highway, my power steering and brakes stopped working. After taking it to the dealer ive learned the power steering reservoir is inferior, causing cavitation. In other words the fluid over heats and causes pump failure.

I was driving my truck when the "service advancetrac" light came on. The steering became sluggish. The next day, my wife was driving the truck with the children inside, when the power steering assist completely went out, became nearly impossible to steer and made very loud, almost screeching noises when trying to turn the wheel. This resulted in my family nearly crashing in the truck. This was while driving on the paved highway/roadway.

While backing up the truck, the power steering went completely out. There were no previous signs of any trouble. This occurred at 53,000 miles. Several codes began to flash on the console such as power steering fault and check traction control, etc. After towing it to the dealership they later called and said the steering gear was bad. In order to replace it, it is necessary to have an alignment also which bring the cost to approx. $1600. If this had happened while driving on the highway I feel most certain I would have either run into someone or wrecked the vehicle.

As as I exiting I-95 onto an off ramp in a 2014 F-150 (going about 45mph at the time of breaking) I started to brake in order to slow to an appropriate speed to make a slight right curved turn. Within 1-2 seconds, my steering locked up, and the tires began to screech. I was unable to control my steering and the brakes did not seem to respond to the amount of pressure I was putting on the break pedal. While I did eventually stop, I would have definitely rear ended someone if they were in front of me. Thankfully I had an open lane. Once I was completely stopped, the car returned to normal operation and I was able to pull over and inspect my vehicle. I was unable to find anything that would signal an issue, so I drove it home and called the dealership. They told me there was nothing they could do if the system was not registering any errors and the truck was (currently) performing normal. Additionally, about 1 month prior, as I was accelerating and then began to brake due to a stop light change, the brake petal began to vibrate and the car made a 3 second grinding sound untill I let off the brake, and again performed normally thereafter.

I backed out of a space at a fla turnpike svc plaza. Then as I pulled forward at 3 mph, I turned to the right. At that moment the steering column torqued hard to the right and the truck became elevated 12 or more inches just on the left hand side. After a minute the steering column came to a normal position and the truck settled into a normal stance. At the dealer today, the next day.

Warning lights came on dash about stability or traction control, no 4X4 lights were showing even though I had it in four wheel drive. Within seconds I could not control my truck in the snow and the steering would not allow me to change my course of direction. This truck acted like it was not in four wheel drive. My truck slammed/slid sideways into a curb on the rotary by my home causing $2129.19 damages to tires and rims and front end parts. After I hit the curb the 4X4 light was showing as was the traction control lights and I was able to steer my truck and keeping it from dropping over an embankment. My speed was 15 miles per hour as I came towards the rotary. I contacted Ford and received a call back 11/6/14 stating that I needed to go through my insurance and that my insurance company was welcome to subrogate this with Ford legal counsel. The woman that called would not answer any question about what this all meant just that I needed to deal with my insurance company over and over.
