wazza Posted December 17, 2007 Report Posted December 17, 2007 My 56 galaxy had an overnight stay at my ford dealer last week so that they could see if they could solve the problem, Anyway they phoned my wife to say that they needed to replace the whole power steering system (whatever that means, I have tried to get hold of the service guy nut he is now not in till after Xmas). The noise is now on constantly and sounds more when accellerating, car due to go in 1st week of Jan so will update when it is sorted :blink: Quote

Johnny B Goode Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 Hi again , well I had my car back from Fords on Friday with a new P/steering pump fitted , it`s lasted 4 days and malfunctioned again. When they got it back to the garage the steering appears to be working fine ????? so they`re keeping it to extensively roadtest it , but as you see below , Fords have admitted to the dealer that there is a software problem with the mk3.........I`ve had a lot of apparent P/Steering malfunctions coming up on the display (which shuts the system down), but I found out today that there is a software problem , Fords are working on it but it won`t be available til April !So I`m waiting to hear if they`ll give me a 7 seater courtesy car ???. . . keeping you informed . . .

Johnny B Goode Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 Well , I`ve just got mine back (1st Feb) after 2 weeks of software updates and extensive roadtests with the dealer. As I`ve said on this forum before , Fords have admitted there is a problem with the software and an update will be out in April `08. Apparently the onboard computer tells things to switch off and a message comes up on the dashboard telling you somethings failed when really it hasn`t !. . .I`ve recently had a few parts fitted to mine incl. a new P/Steering pump , there was nothing wrong with the original , but the "fault codes" tell the engineer to change it so they do .Since having problems with mine I`ve spoke to 3 taxi / Galaxy drivers who have 19000, 26000 and 29000 miles on the clock of thier Galaxy`s in a short period of time and none of them have experienced any problems at all and really praise these cars up ! I guess I`ve just got a "Friday Car" . .. John Quote
