When I tested the weather theory it was another warm/hot day and later in the day meaning the car didn't require as much or any warm up as it usually does on cold days/earlier in the day. The steering was so difficult I couldn't turn the wheel to the right at all and it was extremely hard to turn to the left but less than difficulty trying to turn to the right. I checked under the hood and didn't see anything for power steering, and later learned the 2014 Ford Taurus does not require power steering fluid. This is a safety concern because it means drivers can't steer at all or only with extreme difficulty increasing the potential for vehicle accidents.

This warranty is 10 years on the Police Interceptor Sedan (Taurus Platform), and 11 years on the Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer Platform). My car's mileage was at approximately 103,000 miles when the light came on. Both warranties extend to 120,000 miles, and my car was two months older than 10 years when this occurred. I contacted Ford through multiple avenues, even writing a letter to Ford Consumer Affairs, and they all declined to extend their warranties to the Ford Police Interceptor Sedan despite the fact that it is identical to the Ford Police Interceptor Utility when it comes to the engine, transmission, PTU, and all components related to those parts, including the catalytic converter.

Because the vehicle is designed to have the water pump run on the timing chain and the oil pan right underneath the water pump, the coolant leaks right into the oil pan and coolant enters the engine.   I was driving on a back road and had to abruptly pull over on the side of the road because the driver assist screen said \u201cengine coolant overheating.\u201d This was the first and only time this message appeared. There was smoke coming from under the hood.   Numerous mechanics that I\u2019ve spoken to said that if I drove it any longer, there\u2019s a good chance the engine could blow.   So now I\u2019m looking at a $3,000+ repair for this. Realistically, any other make and model (that was designed with common sense) with a failed water pump should cost $500-1,000. And won\u2019t run the risk of ruining your engine on top of it.   I spoke to several Ford dealers and third party mechanics. Every one of them knew exactly what I was talking about like they had seen this many times before. The third party mechanics refused to fix it because it\u2019s an 11+ hour labor    None of them said there are any pro\u2019s to having the water pump connected to the timing chain. But there are many con\u2019s to this design. Sounds like negligence on behalf of the engineers who designed all the 3.5L and 3.7L V6\u2019s in the Fords.  Luckily, I was going between 20-30 mph on a backroad when this occurred.

For no reason the power steering failed with a message to contact the dealer immediately as this could cause a serious accident resulting in injury or death. As far as putting someone or myself at risk it's pretty obvious if you can't steer the car, you are putting anyone on the road at risk.   If it would fail when taking an exit ramp from a highway the automobile would be virtually impossible to steer.  The internet has many cases where people have complained about this failure.  It has been inspected at an authorized Ford dealership and was advised the repair would cost in the area of $3,000.00.  This automobile has just over 52,000 miles, (brand new it listed for $36,500.00 but apparently this failure has been reported at many different mileages resulting in some accidents.  The failure first occurred January 10, 2022.  Fortunately, the failure occurred while my wife was in the driveway, so we were fortunate.  That being said, my wife and I, both senior citizens bringing in a total of $2,300.00 social security so a $3,000.00 repair is just not in our budget.  If it wasn't for the movie Class Action, I wouldn't know what I realize.  Somewhere there's a bean counter telling them that the cost of a recall would be more expensive then settling lawsuits arising from accidents   After that I got on the internet to see if I was the only one this had happened to and found there have been quite a few instances of this problem.  The warning lamp came on as the failure occurred.  I did contact Ford Customer Service who frankly really didn't care.
