Just because you haven't heard of it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Just last year Ford issued a park order for all Escapes with the 1.6L engine because of the fire risk. Owners were told not to even drive the cars to the dealership. Cars were picked up and loaners were provided.

I have experienced the loss of power assist first-hand, and I can assure you there is a very real safety risk with this issue. At least with a fire risk you would have some warning.
