NHTSA Complaint #10682313 — 2012 FORD FUSION

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELING AROUND 65 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TURN. I MANAGED TO GET OUT OF THE HIGHWAY AND DROVE HOME ON STREETS WITH VERY DIFFICULT AND HARD TO STEER. I SINCE CONTACTED FORD DEALER FOR PROBABLY THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY STATED THERE IS NOT AND SINCE MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY I NEED TO PAID FOR REPAIRS. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE CONSIDER FOR A RECALL, SINCE THE PROBLEM HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I EASILY COULD HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. *TR
