NHTSA Complaint #11019990 — 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID

I GOT A SLOW FLAT WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID, WHICH ENGAGED THE "LOW TIRE PRESSURE" WARNING ON THE IN-DASH MESSAGE CENTER. SOON AFTER THAT NOTIFICATION APPEARED THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" (IN RED TEXT, SO DEFINITELY NOT GOOD) AND "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" (IN YELLOW) MESSAGES FOLLOWED. I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION TO CHECK THE TIRE, AND UPON RESTARTING THE CAR REALIZED I NOW HAD NO POWER STEERING. AFTER CHANGING THE TIRE THE MESSAGES REMAINED AND POWER STEERING WAS STILL GONE. I DROVE THE HOBBLED CAR (LUCKILY IN A STRAIGHT LINE) TO THE NEARBY HUNTERSVILLE FORD DEALERSHIP, WHERE IT SITS IN THE OVERNIGHT LOT NOW AWAITING THE BAD NEWS. HOW IS SUCH A DANGEROUS ISSUE, ALREADY IDENTIFIED WITHIN THE SAME PRODUCT LINE AND GENERATION, NOT BEING DEALT WITH EQUALLY ACROSS THE LINEUP?
