A warning recently appeared saying \u201cPower Steering Assist Fault,\u201d and now the steering is very hard to turn, especially at low speeds. I\u2019ve already paid around $1,800 in the past to fix this issue once, but now I\u2019m experiencing the same or similar problems again. I haven\u2019t had it officially diagnosed this time because both Ford and the dealer told me it wouldn\u2019t be covered, since the recall (15S18) is now expired. This is a serious safety issue. The car is difficult to control and unsafe to drive. I\u2019m a full-time worker and a father of two toddlers, and I\u2019m still making payments on this car that I now can\u2019t safely use \u2014 or only for short trips while constantly worrying about steering failure. I just found out about this old recall, and the dealership never told me anything about it when I bought the car used. I strongly believe I\u2019m experiencing the same issue Ford previously recalled these vehicles for, and I\u2019m asking NHTSA to investigate or reopen the recall so it can be repaired before me or my family is seriously injured.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2012","productMake":"LINCOLN","productModel":"MKS","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
