We turn the car off and turn it back on. Sometimes the power steering returns, sometimes it doesn't and we can't drive the car.  We called the dealer after this happened and they said it was an ECOBOOST Flex and wasn't included in the Safety Recall 15S18 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (.gov) Jul 1, 2015 \u2014 If any \"loss of steering assist\" DTCs are present, replace the power steering gear assembly.   It seems that this is the exact problem as noted in the recall but Ford dealership will not fix it for free. Ford gave me a PDF that explains they are not responsible for this safety issue and cannot provide free repairs because my car is OVER 150,000 miles. My car now has 200,000 miles and I have had the car serviced at this same dealer for oil changes/tire rotation and they never told me about this recall. The purpose of this repair is to update the PSCM to prevent loss of steering assist while driving due to a motor position sensor fault or replace the steering gear if the PSCM has certain Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).Jul 1, 2015","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2011","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FLEX","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
