Consumer Description

WHEN I STARTED MY 2012 FORD FUSION AS NORMAL, THE POWER STEERING DIDN'T WORK AND THE WARNING LIGHTS "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" AND "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" APPEARED ON MY DASH BOARD. I HAVE HAD THE RECALL WORK DONE PREVIOUSLY BUT APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM WAS NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSED AS I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRING. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE FOR OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE OTHER THAN PAYING RIDICULOUS MONEY TO REPAIR IT MYSELF, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING ERROR?!?
