- 2012 Ford Explorer
Same issue described throughout this thread...our 2012 Explorer gives the "Power Steering Assist Failure" warning about 1/10 times we start it up but we've always been able to turn off the car and restart it...until yesterday.
Twice when my wife has been driving, the power steering has failed...she had to pull over to the shoulder and restart the vehicle--manhandling the wheel through those failed EPAS motors is no easy task for her--a definite road hazard.
I drove it by force to the local Ford Service center this morning. They were able to replace a gear in the EPAS system under recall which for now has resolved the issue.
