NHTSA Complaint #10595512 — 2012 FORD FUSION

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE CAR WENT INTO POWER STEERING ASSISTED DEFAULT SETTING, RENDERING THE POWER STEERING TO LITTLE MORE THAN 15% USAGE WHILE MESSAGING AN SERVICE ADVANCETRAK MESSAGE. THE AUTOMOBILE USERS GUIDE MENTIONS A 10 SECOND WAIT IN BETWEEN STARTS. I PERFORMED THE TROUBLESHOOTING ACTIVITY TO NO AVAIL. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS INCIDENT WHILE TRAVELING THE RECOMMENDED SPEED LIMIT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP (CAPE GIRARDEAU, MISSOURI) ON 3/18/2014 AND HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE OCCUR ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. MY HOPE IS THAT YOU FOLKS LOOK AT RENDERING THE SITUATION IN A TIMELY MANNER CONSIDERING THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS WHOM HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP AND LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUED BUSINESS WITH YOUR COMPANY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
