NHTSA Complaint #11140313 — 2012 FORD FUSION

WAS ON MY WAY TO PICK UP MY SON FROM SCHOOL, TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON, GOT THE CAR TURNED INTO SCHOOL, EVERYTHING WAS OK. TRACTION LIGHT WENT OFF FROM LEAVING THE SCHOOL, CAME BACK ON WHEN WE CAME TO A STOP LIGHT, THEN THE POWER STEERING ASSISTANT CAME ON, 'SERVICE SOON'. GOT HOME AND WAS GOING BACK TO WORK, COULDN'T TURN STEERING WHEEL. I JUST PARKED THE CAR. ONLY DROVE ABOUT 5 MILES BEFORE IT LOCKED UP. LUCKILY I LIVE LESS THAN A MILE FROM WORK. SEEN THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, DON'T KNOW IF THIS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS CAR, SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED. THINK MY FORD COMPANY SOLD ME A LEMON. BOO ON THEIR PART. FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WOULD COST $1800-$2500 DEPENDING IF I BUY USED OR NEW.
