@CheapBastard1988 12 днів тому

Yours is from the good era before they started using wet timing belts and automatic gearboxes with dry clutches and friction plates instead of torque converters. My old manual 2001 Ford Mondeo was excellent and still drove fine when I recently traded it in. But they just don't make them like that anymore. Breaks my heart as the only 2 cars I'd ever had were both Fords. But where I live, the one modern Ford Mondeo that is reliable (the hybrid one) was the same price as a similar age and size Lexus, which just doesn't make any sense. And I hate SUVs, so their lineup is not really to my taste anymore.

I loved the electric power steering of my Mustang V-6 3.7. In fact the oil filter loved it too. The engineers positioned the filter right above the module. And every time I changed the filter, I had to place a piece of carboard over the module to protect it from a bath of hot oil. In a side note: I had an uncle who was a cheap skate. He bought a Chevy Vega back in the day with no power steering. And man, that thing gave me a workout when I drove it. I couldn't believe how many times I would have to turn that steering wheel for such a little car.

Hey Scotty I had a 2011 VW Tiguan AWD. At 77K the same thing happened while on the highway. After it sat for an hour, the power steering came back.

I'll never buy another vehicle with electronic power steering.

Wouldn't it be weird if there's also pneumatic steering?

@robertsyre230 10 днів тому

i have a 2011 that i had to pay to have the electric power steering replaced at 45k miles, those cars did have a recall but that crappy company NHTSA wouldn't include my car because it was made 6 days before the recall, (same plant! )

@user-jb7uz4hs2i 10 днів тому

Yeah with Volkswagen you have the same issue. All models that are petrol have separate steering control modules but for the TDi models you have to buy the entire steering rack which is £1500 or $1,604.45 US! Like your Ford there, the TDi has the module integrated into the rack which is ridiculous!

Is Ford as bad as Honda (1.5 T GDI oil dilution engine) ?

@robertsyre230 10 днів тому

Most Ford engines are pretty good, don't let the dealer flush your transmission, better yet- don't let the dealer touch your car

I drove one of these when I was learning to drive. It was a 2019, It was okay but I don’t like the way they’re set up

Not a fan of any electric assisted system ( steering/braking….)

My Toyota Yaris has electric power steering. Bulletproof no hoses no fluid all the belt runs is the water pump and the alternator. Can’t get more simple Then that

When your Ford breaks the proper repair procedure is to 💩-can it and buy a Toyota.

172k? Not too bad. My Saturn went above 345k miles before I gave it to my nephew I wonder if Scotty would say my car was crap just because it’s an American vehicle ( I did not have any issues other than an oxygen sensor being replaced and regular maintenance)

Not the worst car ever made unless you forgot the 1983 car of the year......drum roll please.....the Renault AMC alliance. I bought one for my youngest in the early 90s with the deal of I'll buy you a car and pay the insurance (as long as you keep a b average in high school) but I got to pick it. An alliance popped up locally with only 30k miles so I bought it. It usually ran every other week, was slow with no pickup and would intermittently start without fooling with it. The absolute disappointment in the boy's eyes when we picked it up one sunny November day still brings tears of laughter to my eyes many decades later. It was the perfect car for a 16yo male. He sold it to me a few years later after successfully trashing it for &100. I tweaked it, cleaned it up got it running and sold it for $500. I'm still very happy with that entire transaction.

Yes, it's cheaper to build in the long run. It is a stupid design that you have to replace the entire assembly. But I think the reason manufacturers do it is for fuel economy. Not running a pump 100% of the time.

@elisteele3099 11 днів тому

my 2014 Ford Fusion SE was a pile of crap. the transmission died 2 weeks after a $2000 tuneup, including plugs, belts, fluids, water pump, etc. Not happy! only 167k miles with great maintenance.

@robertsyre230 10 днів тому

If the work was done at a Ford dealership, they flush the transmissions, that's probably why the transmission broke

@jeremyowen1 12 днів тому

No power steering? It'll be fine. Probably.

@tooltime9260 12 днів тому

I've had friends with electric P/S going bad and I carefully suggested that they simply remove the motor, cover up the open space and drive manually. Nope; they wanted it fixed, for $$$. Sometimes, a unit never really works and others never break. Typical for any mechanical device; toss of the dice. If I ever have a car with electric (groan) I'd pull out the electric motor, remove the gear if I could to eliminate the resistance of spinning a dead motor shaft and put the motor back in. (maybe?) Sure, with quick steering common compared to 4+ decades ago it would be harder at slow speeds, but I'd like to try it to see what it feels like, especially if it's going to cost so much to fix. Either that, or MAYBE find a working unit or parts in a junk yard. (stupid cars) I've driven non-power rack and pinion cars in the past and it's no problem. I'd like to visit these designers on Halloween. I'D show them a trick they wouldn't soon forget! (HEHEHEHEHE)

Its all one piece w/ Stellantis crap as well. Also, knowing the car was “jarred” at least check all the connections to rule out wiring issues.

...they went to electric power steering for many other reasons, mai one the power is correlated to the car speed not the revs of the motor, you need power steeing at low speed and low revs, especially if you have automatic transmission, hydraulic is really stupid

@user-zh9ow3jz1t 12 днів тому

it feels more natural to use than electric

@mikemartin2957 12 днів тому

It's like the reason Citroen did that with their Servo Steer on the CX in the mid 70s, linked to road speed, suspension & brakes only difference was ( way ahead of its time) that it was hydropneumatic! Sorting that out isn't for the faint hearted!
