Hey, sure, no problem! If I remember correctly, the cost of fixing the "coding of the steering angle sensor faulty" problem was around €195. So, it wasn't exactly cheap, but everything has been running great ever since! The steering angle sensor fault was fixed by my mechanic and there have been no further problems since. So, all in all, it was a small investment, but well worth it! All the best for you and your Ford! Best regards!

Servus, It sounds to me as if you have a problem with the steering gear itself. I don't know exactly whether your car still has classic power steering or whether the whole thing runs via an electric motor. But the way it sounds to me, it's more likely the latter. If the electric motor or the sensor in the motor has a path, the symptoms you describe can also occur.

Ford B-max: problem pulling away to the left when braking. ABS has been read, no particulars. Light is not on. Left front brake checked seems Ok. Left wheel gets hot in center
It sounds like your left front brake might be dragging. This could be due to a few reasons such as a stuck caliper, collapsed brake hose, or even a problem with the ABS system. Start by checking the brake caliper and brake hose. If they're fine, you might need to have the ABS system inspected. Please remember, brake issues are safety-relevant, so it's recommended to have a mechanic check the issue. Let us know how it goes. Do you have any other questions?

Hello, I actually had a similar problem with my 2014 Ford B Max. My ABS systems were also out of order and the power steering didn't work at all. The fault was actually with the steering angle sensor - "steering angle sensor coding faulty". It was definitely not a small problem, the workshop had to put quite a lot of work into my car. The sensor had to be completely replaced and then recalibrated. Of course, it took me a few days to leave my car at the garage. But don't worry, it's solvable and afterwards your car will run like clockwork again. Good luck with that!
