NHTSA Complaint #11241388 — 2012 FORD FUSION

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY 2012 FORD FUSION. A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I HAD MY STEERING RACK REPLACED AS A PART OF THE MANUFACTURERS RECALL. HERE I AM A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER WITH A FORD FUSION WITH A FAILED STEERING RACK THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. MY CAR NOW HAS NO POWER STEERING AND THE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE ADVANCETRACK SYSTEM HONKS AT ME EVERY TIME I START THE CAR. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AND IT'S CLEAR THAT THE MAIN ISSUE WAS NEVER REMEDIED BECAUSE IT HAS TO DO WITH HOW CRAMPED ALL THE PARTS UNDER THE HOOD ARE; THERE'S NO ROOM FOR AIR SO THE STEERING RACK BASICALLY GETS COOKED INTO OBLIVION. SO HERE I AM AT 42 YEARS OLD WITH A MEDICAL DISABILITY AND A REPAIR THAT COSTS $1600 WHILE MY CAR IS WORTH LESS THAN THAT...AND I HAVE NO RECOURSE AS THE COMPANY IS NOT TAKING CARE OF IT'S RESPONSIBILITIES. WHILE MY CAR HAS 160,000 MILES ON IT, THE STEERING RACK WAS REPLACED AND HAS MUCH LESS WEAR ON IT SO IT SHOULDN'T BE DYING ON ME
