NHTSA Complaint #10691779 — 2011 FORD FUSION

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A STREET SUDDENLY TRULY OUT OF NO WHERE, THE CAR DINGS AND POWER STEERING FAILURE REPAIR ADVANCEDTRAC NOW APPEARED IN THE DISPLAY. THE CAR LOST POWER STEERING AND I NEARLY RAN INTO SOMEONE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT TO PARK. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE SINCE THE DEALERSHIPS "FRONT END PERSON" WAS NOT AVAILABLE ON SATURDAY WHEN I HAD THE PROBLEM AND IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I COULD NOT IMAGINE IF MY WIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING WOULD SHE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER WITHOUT HURTING HERSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. THERE WAS ZERO WARNING, ONE MOMENT EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THE NEXT POWER STEERING WAS OUT AND I WAS ON MY OWN. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY BEING A COMMON PROBLEM THAT COST $2081 TO FIX FROM MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AS A RECALL! *TR
