NHTSA Complaint #11254542 — 2010 FORD FUSION

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON THE INTERSTATE AT A SPEED LIMIT OF 60MPH IN MOTION ON MY WAY HOME AND IT STARTED GETTING HARD TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL WHICH MADE IT HARD FOR ME TO MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN WHEN I WAS EXITING THE EXIT. THE SERVICE POWER STEERING POPPED UP ON MY DASHBOARD AND ADVANCE TRAC. SO THEN IT ENDED UP CHANGING TO SAY SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW WHICH IT MADE IT VERY HARD AND DIFFICULT TO EVEN BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR PERIOD. I GOT A ESTIMATED OF $1811.94 FOR MY CAR TO BE REPAIRED AT WYNNE FORD AT 1020 W. MERCURY BLVD HAMPTON VA 23666 AND FOR ME TO GET A ESTIMATE OF THAT PRICE I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THAT IT'S LIKE BUYING A USED CAR AT THAT PRICE. I JUST FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT'S A RECALL ON A 2011-2012 FORD FUSION BUT NOT A 2010 WHEN THE SAME EXACT DEFECT IS GOING ON WITH THAT SAME CARJIS A DIFFERENT YEAR. WHICH BASICALLY I WOULD BE PAYING TO GET A ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION IN ORDER FOR MY CAR TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE AND FUNCTION CORRECTLY.
