NHTSA Complaint #10549831 — 2012 FORD FUSION

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TO THE GAS STATION TO PUT AIR IN MY TIRE AND AS I WAS TURNING INTO THE GAS STATION MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME AND THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC & SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW LIGHTS BEEPED AND CAME ON. I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE I COULDN'T TURN MY WHEEL TO GET INTO THE GAS STATION. I GOT THE AIR AND STARTED MY CAR BACK UP AND THE LIGHTS BEEPED AND CAME ON AGAIN. I HAD TO DRIVE TO WORK WITH NO POWER STEERING AND WAS ALMOST HIT A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE I'M NOT USE TO TURNING THE WHEEL, IT'S SO HARD AND MY ARMS AND CHEST HURT FROM THIS ALREADY. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET THIS SERVICES BUT NEED A SAFE RUNNING CAR AS I'M A SINGLE MOM OF TWO AND PURCHASED THIS CAR THINKING FORD WAS RELIABLE. VERY WORRIED AND STRESSED, WHAT AM I TO DO NOW??? *TR
