To replace the power steering fluid in a 2010 Ford Escape is a straightforward process. First, locate the clear plastic container under the hood near the window. Using a pump, extract all the fluid from the container. As the fluid level decreases, turn the steering wheel all the way in both directions to drain the fluid in the system. Once the container is empty, refill it to the indicated full line level. It may take some time for the steering to adjust, so drive for about 20 minutes to ensure it is working properly.

What is the price for getting a new power steering unit installed in a 2010 Ford Escape?
It uses electric power for steering instead of fluid. If your steering is not working smoothly or your battery light comes on even though your battery is fine, then the issue is likely with your alternator.
