Ford S-MAX - Ford S-Max Steering Failure - low mileage - pickers

Hi,

Just a word of warning if your power steering is intermittently failing I suggest you get it seen to before your warranty expires.

Just recently my power steering started to play up and was told the steering rack had failed and needs replacing - it cost me £1300.

The car had just ran out of it's 3yr warranty with only 26k miles on clock
[Ford S-Max 2.0 TDCi Titanium (56 plate)]. I've heard similar stories that seem to point towards a faulty component but Ford Customer Services want nothing to do with it and will not assist financially.

Cheers
