EPAS Failure
I have a 2011 Supercrew with the 5.0 but I have been having major steering problems since last week. There are no codes, warnings. But the steering is normal if I’m switching lanes but if I’m making a turn left or right it’s very very difficult. If I turn the wheel more than 45 degrees it will stick and I need two hands to correct it. Where should I start? I haven’t taken it to the stealership or anything but this is very frustrating. Any help would be great!!!!

If the steering wheel is feeling stuck or won't return after turning even just a bit, it is the gear(s) inside the epas box. Had it replaced on my old 2011 under warranty when i had it. I was turning left around at an intersection and steering wheel wouldn't go back to straight, nearly drove into someone. Ford said gear was cracked inside.

that what was happening to mine. I could turn wheel back to original position but it started to become frequent. Have it looked at asap. Don't want it to lock up and you end up turning into a car or person crossing the street.
