NHTSA Complaint #11142976 — 2012 FORD FUSION

IN 2015, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2011-2012 CERTAIN TYPES OF FORD FUSIONS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE "SERVICE POWER TRAIN" WARNING HAS COME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE NO TIME TO PULL OVER. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I ALMOST ROLLED INTO A DITCH AS THERE IS NO TIME TO ACTUALLY SERVICE THE CAR BECAUSE THE WHEEL LOCKS UP IMMEDIATELY. ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 28, MY CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THE CAR DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CANNOT COVER MY CAR BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS EXEMPT FROM THIS RECALL. THEY CLAIM THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO HELP, BUT CORPORATE WILL NOT LET THEM. I WAITED FOR 4 DAYS TO HEAR, SORRY, YOUR VIN NUMBER EXCLUDES YOU FROM THE RECALL. WHAT MAKES MY 2012 FORD FUSION SO DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER 2012 FORD FUSIONS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE VERY SAME ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING GEAR?
