Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY EARLY THIS MORNING TRAVELING AT ~70 MILES AN HOUR. WITHOUT WARNING THE POWER STEERING CEASED TO WORK AND I GOT A WARNING THAT THERE WAS A POWER ASSIST FAULT AND TO SERVICE ADVANCTRAC. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKING A CURVE AT THAT EXACT MOMENT THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. AFTER MAKING IT OFF THE EXPRESSWAY I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND ALL WAS FINE AND THE POWER STEERING WAS ONCE AGAIN WORKING. MY CONCERN AT THIS POINT IS THAT I NEVER KNOW, MOVING FORWARD, IF AND WHEN THIS ISSUE MAY OCCUR AGAIN. BASED ON SOME ONLINE RESEARCH I SEE MANY OTHER FUSION OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THIS EXACT ISSUE. PLEASE DON'T WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE TAKING ACTION AND FORCING FORD TO ANALYZE ROOT CAUSE. *TR
