NHTSA Complaint #11219576 — 2014 FORD FUSION

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35MPH AND PROCEEDED TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, MY STEERING WHEEL FROZE AND I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE THE TURN, ALMOST CRASHING INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME THAT WAS AT A STOP. I WAS ABLE TO FORCE THE WHEEL TO TURN AT THE NEXT STOP LIGHT USING QUITE ABIT OF FORCE AND WAS ABLE TO PARK THE VEHICLE TO HAVE IT TOWED AWAY. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 47K MILES AND WE ONLY DROVE IT ABOUT 4K MILES LOCALLY WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. ALL MAINTENCE WAS KEPT UP AND NO OTHER ISSUES UNTIL NOW. DEALER QUOTED $2K FOR REPAIR. WE ARE CALLING FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AS ITS OUT OF WARRANTY AND DEALER SAID ITS NOT RECALLED IN THE FORD DATABASE BUT YET THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND THE RECALL LISTED MATCHED WHAT WE WERE DIAGNOSED WITH.
