We have a low mileage 2007 Maxx. I'd had a 2004 at one time. Due to customer complaints, I was under the impression that the '06 and '07 Maxxes went back to regular power steering. Ours for sure doesn't have EPS. And I hate it. I loved EPS; my current Fusion drives like that did and I'm glad. Are you SURE you have EPS?
