The 2014 Ford Escape has a recall for its power steering system. It is recommended to change the power steering fluid every 75,000 miles. In addition to replacing fluids, you may notice noises coming from the steering components. A loose bearing can be an annoying sound, while a faulty bearing can create a more concerning noise. Having reliable steering is crucial for safe driving maneuvers like changing lanes. However, issues may arise over time, such as a loose steering pump causing potential disaster for your vehicle. Problems may also occur with bad strut bearings, a faulty rack mount, steering fluid leaks, veering to one side, or a stuck steering wheel.
