NHTSA Complaint #11193791 — 2014 FORD FUSION

IN OCTOBER, 2018, THE POWER STEERING BEGAN GOING OUT INTERMITTENTLY. HAD IT "REPAIRED" AT A COST OF $1029. IT BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING 6 WEEKS AGO, TOOK IT IN THEY SAY IT IS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM NOW WITH ESTIMATED COST OF 2K TO FIX. NOT HAVING THE MONEY, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND IT DID NOT ACT UP UNTIL LAST WEEK. IT CONTINUES TO GO OUT, WITH NO RHYME OR REASON, AND WHEN I STOP, TURN THE CAR OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY, THEN RESTART IT, IT FIXES ITS SELF. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING THAT WAS "REPAIRED" IN OCTOBER CAN BREAK AGAIN IN A DIFFERENT WAY WITHIN A FEW MONTHS. EVERY TIME I DRIVE I HOPE THAT THE STEERING DOES NOT GO OUT WHILE I AM IN A CURVE, BECAUSE THAT COULD RESULT IN ME WRECKING. THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH FORD POWER STEERING THAT I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO ME, UNTIL THEY ACTUALLY GET IT RIGHT.
