NHTSA Complaint #10706721 — 2011 FORD FUSION

AS I WAS DRIVING AROUND AND PROSPECTING FOR MY JOB, MY POWER STEERING SUDDENLY QUIT AND THE WARNING DINGED 3 TIMES. AS THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAD HAPPENED, I SIMPLY SHUT OFF MY CAR QUICKLY AND RESTARTED IT AND THE SYSTEM RESET AND I HAD POWER STEERING AGAIN. THIS WENT ON ANNOYINGLY FOR A FEW MONTHS HAVING TO STOP AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL APRIL OF 2015 WHEN I WAS DRIVING AROUND PROSPECTING AND MY CAR DID THE SAME THING EXCEPT AT A FASTER RATE OF SPEED. UNTIL THIS POINT IT GENERALLY HAPPENED AS I SHIFTED GEARS TO REVERSE OR DRIVE WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILED; THIS TIME IT HAPPENED IN DRIVE WHILE I WAS GOING ABOUT 15 MPH AND THE SIMPLE FIX OF SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING IT DID NOT WORK. ANOTHER ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET MY POWER STEERING TO WORK UNTIL I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER. THANKFULLY I WAS ONLY GOING 15 MPH BUT WITH THE AMOUNT OF SIMILAR STORIES (SOME UNFORTUNATELY NOT SO LUCKY) I HAVE ENCOUNTERED ONLINE, I STRONGLY FEEL THE NHTSA NEEDS TO MOVE THEIR ASS ON THIS INVESTIGATION AND GET THESE POTENTIALLY DESTRUCTING MACHINES OFF THE ROADS AND HIGHWAYS! GET FORD TO ISSUE A RECALL! I THINK OVER 1 MILLION VEHICLES WARRANTS IT!! *TR
