Ford steering problems

I've had plenty of Ford in the bay over the years, and the steering complaints on these don't surprise me. 22,456 on the NHTSA record across 241 model-year entries (2005–2025) is not a fluke. The complaints are spread across the lineup — no single model is doing all the work. That tells you it's an engineering or supplier pattern, not a one-off bad year. 14 fatality reports on file with NHTSA tied to this category on Ford vehicles. That elevates this from nuisance to safety-critical. Average shop fix runs about $700 — not catastrophic, but it adds up over time. Across the 16,211 complaints reporting odometer mileage, the median failure lands at about 80,068 miles. Steering does not have a graceful failure mode. Take any "unintended movement" complaints seriously and check for open recalls on the EPS module.
