Default Lost power steering!! What the french, TOAST!!

Driving today on the highway about 70 and was making a gradual turn left (sweeping highway turn) and my p/s went out!!! I muscled it back to the shoulder, shut off, waited a few moments, re started and all was good. I have the annoying clunk from the EPAS and now this. What a friction joke. To add salt to the wound the EPAS/rack is on national back order. Zero problems with my 2010 now this crappy steering system in my 11. Fabulous. It took a lot to muscle it off the road, Id be pissed if my wife was driving or any women for that point, gonna be a lot harder for them!

Check out my thread called "Ecoboost down". My EPAS has failed too. Truck has been at dealership for close to a month now. You may have a long road of waiting ahead of you so get comfy in the loaner vehicle they hopefully give you!
