While making a left turn on a bridge the steering wheel became unable to turn. During left turns the steering is often very difficult to steer.

I have a 2010 Lincoln Mkt and I have been having trouble with the power steering. It randomly stops working and it difficult to steer the car. I almost hit a mailbox today because the steering became so stiff and the alert came up on my dash. There is a recall for the 2011 and 2012 models but the NHTSA recall should include the 2010 models as well. I have children and this is a huge safety hazard! I won't even be able to resell the car in this condition as it is random. Please consider looking into this issue promptly as I can see there have been other complaints and my situation is not unique. I pray to god I don't get in an accident because I don't have any other options for transportation and will try to avoid using the interstate in meantime. Thank you for your time! please update me at [[xxx] or [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

"takata recall"my complain was filed here already 2 weeks ago and nobody haven't call me yet brought the 2010 Lincoln to Ford dealership and yes the issue was the power steering was off and pay for diagnose $160 and after that they said they can't reprogram because of no code found and will have to pay $2800 for the repairs not my fault that this vehicle was defected and came from Canada I am the second owner so I just found out doing a lot of research about the recall but since the car came from Canada and just had it not even 2 months before I almost die on the freeway driving back home I don't know what to do. My power steering just suddenly lock and I can't move it and almost cause me to die thank god I pull over to the right end lane of other wise I'm already dead by now.
