Ford Taurus X The Ford Taurus X, so named because it shares the same platform as the Ford Taurus, is a 7-passenger mid-size crossover SUV. The car is positioned between the 5-passenger mid-size Ford Edge and upcoming 7-passenger full-size Flex crossover SUV. The design of the Taurus X closely resembles that of its sibling, the Ford Edge, creating a family face for its crossover segment.

Default Partially worn tires cancels power steering?

I have a 2008 Taurus X. 27,000 miles. The steering at times is very stiff and sometimes requires 2 hands to make a turn. The dealership claims that "worn" tires are causing the steering not to work smoothly, not a power steering pump failure. Has anyone heard of this? If this is true, then every car out there that has 20,000 mile tires should have power steering problems! I appreciate any help!
