I have a 2007 ford edge in my garage. The problem is that after driving the car for a long distance the steering becomes harsh as if it's not hydraulic. So is there any similar problem happend with you and what can be the solution thank you

Try replacing your belt and tensioner first as the tensioner may lose tension causing this. Make sure fluid is full as well.
