NHTSA Complaint #11021801 — 2012 FORD FUSION

THERE CURRENTLY IS A RECALL ON 2011-2012 FORD FUSIONS POWER STEERING RECALL #15S18, THAT BEGAN IN JULY 2015. I HAVE A 2012 FORD FUSION I BOUGHT IN SEPTEMBER 2015, THAT APPARENTLY IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. BUT DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE OTHER DAY, ON A HIGHWAY MY POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED AS I WAS DRIVING 55MPH, ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH MANY VEHICLES. I FEEL THIS WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE MANY MILES ON IT, AND IT HAS PASSED INSPECTION EVERY YEAR. I THINK THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE'S POWER STEERING FAILS AND ARE NOT AS LUCKY AS I WAS THAT OTHER DRIVERS WERE ABLE TO BRAKE IN TIME. I'VE READ ON THIS WEBSITE AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS THAT THIS RECALL NEEDS TO EXTENDED.
