Happy to report that my ride is back with the new steering gear. Ford has provided me with a 3 year/45,000 mile extended ESP for which I am grateful. Huge thanks to Garnet Ford for the loaner Escape, excellent communication, and general pleasant and professional nature throughout. Giant shout...

Thanks OP this is timely. I’m about to get mine back tomorrow after waiting on a part for 8 weeks and I’m at 29,000 miles. Looking to extend or sell not sure at this point, concerned for what the future may hold (I have the special AA engine too 🤣).

Apparently I need this…..to drive on the pavement. True.

Wow! You do some drivin man. Glad to know at least the AA valves are holding up. I was going strong with 29k until my steering gear went down late January…..now I’m thinking of a few choice words:

Mine is currently sitting parked for 5 weeks waiting on the replacement gear. 29,000 mostly highway miles. Stock everything BL.

Wow, congrats Vooch! Long time since we met at the GF tour stop in 21’ before I got mine (and coincidentally where it’s been parked for 5 weeks now waiting on a steering gear replacement, lol, not to be a buzz kill). You’ll love it man I’m happy for you.

I was in and out of 2H to 4A a lot just before I had the driveshaft replaced under recall , and it’s currently sitting at the dealer into its 5th week waiting on a steering gear (rack and pini ). I have no idea if use between the 2-4A had anything to do with the down time but its been used...

Totally dig

That doesn’t sound right to me but I could be wrong. They inspected mine during routine maintenance and ordered the new driveshaft and installed it….all while it still sits waiting for the steering gear that was supposed to ship 2/6. @flip was so kind to do some checking for me and apparently...

Just an update y’all….3 full weeks now at the dealer. Hadn’t heard anything so I stopped by the dealer today and the service dude thats been handling it was off. The service manager couldn’t see any change in status so I have no idea if the part shipped yet or not. just want to reiterate how...

They did it while waiting for the steering gear, but it was a special order when I had it in last for routine service. Originally arrived to the dealer without the hardware from what I was told. good luck with yours , I’ll be able to comment further on any noticeable differences soon I hope ...

Sitting at the dealer going on week 3 waiting for steering gear part that doesn’t ship until next week. Driveshaft replaced under recall. Just under 30k.

Ignore the trolls, man. IMO you posted looking for a genuine opinion, and most people here are typically happy to offer it. The others are just trolls. I didn’t see any reference to your age in he original post, but if you’re a young dude…. my 2 cents is that you have to factor expenses too. My...

It sounded like I had a flat tire. I assumed that the front diff cover broke and there was build up in the driveshaft from what I was reading, and knew that it was being replaced under the recall. I made it to the dealer 10 miles down the road without incident but it felt like the power steering...

Apparently I have a broken steering gear. Dealer service dept is saying that Ford doesn’t have a replacement part(s) made yet. does that make sense, lol? This comes after also told that the special order driveshaft being replaced under recall arrived without the hardware to install it. Happy...

Sorry to hear this, Ty. I know how you feel, mine went down yesterday with what I’m guessing is a bad power steering pump, or the driveshaft that was just replaced on 12/27 under the recall. Headed to the dealer tomorrow. good luck with your repair, sharing your frustration…..

I was curious about your rig knowing you were way up there in miles. its going in first thing Monday I’ll keep everyone posted. Things happen, this is what warranty is for.

And for anyone wondering, it’s been a garage queen and pavement princess (jeeers deserved) for 29,600 miles.

Feels like the power steering went…pump?

Uhg 🙁 just had the driveshaft replaced under recall on 12/27 after never noticing any issue, now there’s most definitely something wrong. Hope it makes it back to the dealer 🤬.
