2014 Ford Explorer (Base) - Electric Power Steering (EPS) failure common?
Inherited a '14 Explorer with only 80k miles. Within a year I was getting the "power steering assist fault" error which I could fix by restarting. Eventually that didn't work and I lost all power steering.
This year doesn't appear to be on a recall. Quoted $2200 for new Rack and Pinion Assembly install.
Since I got the Explorer for free, I'm open to doing this, but is this failure common? Going to happen again? Awful expensive repair for an 85k vehicle. Not a fan of EPS...
