Too much play in steering wheel

Ford Escape 2008 Steering 123000 miles
I've noticed that while driving, especially at a fast speed, that there is way too much free play in my wheel. If I am going around a curve at a high speed , I have to grip the wheel in order for the truck to not take itself into another lane. Sometime when just driving straight you can still feel the steering wheel pull from you. I took to get a alignment, but none was needed.

Stiff steering

Ford Escape 2001  95000 miles
When driving through a puddle of water, the steering stiffens and the dashboard shows the battery icon. After 5 seconds this light turns off and the steering comes back to normal.

The steering girdle must get wet. You need to protect the bottom part of the front right tire with a plastic cover.

Car needs jumped

Ford Escape 2020 Escape sport 290000 miles
My escape wont start if its sat all night. If driven everyday starts fine but hit or miss will have no power steering or dash lights or radio or windows. These happen separately or all together. If driven a long time or distance acceleration is sloppy until get past first gear. Then the headlights go out and a little later dies. Wont jumpstart until the next day and good for a little while then starts all over again
