DAVEWILL5 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Just started the Edge up (2018 sport), and the Adaptive Steering Malfunction message came up on the dash The steering wheel is also now not straight and level , as in when the car is going in a straight line the steering wheel is in a position that you would think the car is turning left. I will obviously contact the garage first thing monday, but is the car safe to drive as it is??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb65 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 The adaptive steering is a secondary steer motor in the steering wheel itself (there are a few You Tube videos on the subject). Once you get a fault, it de-activates the motor, in effect it just becomes a direct manual steering system, so it's safe to drive, but you need to get it looked at ASAP. There was a recall on 2016/2017 models to replace the steering wheel with an improved design due to an unreliable position sensor! Looks like they still fitted the old design or this is another/different fault! Be interesting to hear what Ford have to say about it ... keep us posted.

DAVEWILL5 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 So the conclusion from the Ford dealer was, "the steering wheel needs replacing" It was ordered by them last Wednesday, and hopefully will be in and fitted sometime this week. So from that i am no wiser (yet) as to whether my 2018 registered car was actually one that got a 2016/17 steering wheel ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all to do with the build date, my Cmax was registered in June 18 but it was built in August 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVEWILL5 Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 So after 2 1/2 weeks of waiting, my local Ford Dealer still have no delivery time on the new steering wheel !! Does anyone know the Ford Part number for the replacement Edge steering wheel, with the adaptive steering bit in it? If so could you reply please, as i think my only option to get a quick fix, is to ring round other Ford dealers, in the hope that one of them has a wheel in stock Thanks..

Hamster Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Ask your Dealer to that for you as they have a connected system they could use. They might already have done that though. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAVEWILL5 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 So the steering wheel has now been replaced and all is well I still get the Sport or Normal steering option, for D or S mode One minor change on the new steering wheel though is that the RES CNCL button and the LIM on/off Cruise Control Button, have "swapped" places Two pictures attached, left one shows old wheel and right new wheel Anyone else had this with the left hand side buttons swapping places???

Hamster Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 That will be an interesting conversation with the service Receptionist........................ H 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quofan Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Could be a LHD wheel but could also be a wheel from the current face-lifted Edge. Or possibly even one from an S-Max or Mondeo? Just guessing though. I'd take photos in when speaking to Ford otherwise it would difficult to try and explain! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
