NHTSA Complaint #10663742 — 2012 FORD FUSION

FIRST INCIDENT WAS IN 2013, DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY AND ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON CAR. TOOK IN FOR REPAIRS AND COST ME 2054.00 FOR REPAIRS, WAS TOLD NOT UNDER WARRANTY. PAID FOR REPAIR AND HERE IT IS LESS THAN ON YEAR LATER AND I HAVE SAME FAILURES ON MY VEHICLE AS MY HUSBAND, SON AND GRANDSON WERE COMING BACK FROM A TRIP. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS HURT. FIRST ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY POWER STEERING FAULT LIGHT CAME ON AND THEY LOST THE POWER STEERING TO THE CAR. TRIED TO TURN CAR OFF AND RESTART CAR AGAIN AND STILL NO POWER STEERING AVAILABLE. THIS IS BECOMING QUITE COMMON FOR THIS MODEL CAR BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER HAS THE SAME CAR AND HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE, BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. ALWAYS AFTER THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING CAR THE ENGINE SHIFTS REALLY HARD, RPM'S GO UP AND THEN SLAMS INTO GEAR!!!! *TR
