NHTSA Complaint #11258289 — 2011 FORD FUSION

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE STEERING LOCKED UP , I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND EASED MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER NOT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AS I WAS COMING HOME I TURNED ONTO MY STREET AND BEFORE I COULD LINE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO IT'S PROPER POSITION IT LOCKED UP AGAIN. KNOWING THAT IT HAS AN ELECTRONIC PUMP I AUTOMATICALLY CHECKED THE FUSE. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I HAD IT TOWED TO HAVE IT PUT ON A MACHINE AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FAULTY PUMP AND I WAS NOT THE FIRST PERSON THEY HAD TALKED TO ABOUT THIS. SO I'M MAKING THIS CONTACT BECAUSE THIS IS NOT SOME WEARING OUT OF A PART OVER TIME, THIS IS A PART THAT 'NEEDED TO BE RECALLED AND/OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED BEFORE IT BECOMES A VERY SERIOUS INCIDENT. I FILE THIS COMPLAINT NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF BUT FOR ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES OUT THERE THAT MAY HAVE THIS SAME MALFUNCTION. NOT ONLY THOSE WITH VEHICLES BUT THE PEDESTRIANS YOUNG AND OLD WHO ARE PUT IN HARMS WAY. AS A SUGGESTION TO THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY BEFORE THEIR FOCUS IS JUST HOW MANY VEHICLES WE CAN PUT OUT AND IN RETURN THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BEING MADE AT THE FULL SUBJECTION OF INNOCENT HARD WORKING PEOPLE. IT'S NOT RIGHT AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE VERY SOON. TO THIS DAY I HAVE TO LEAVE A VEHICLE PARKED THAT IS BEING PAID AND INSURED WHICH IS NOT FAIR TO ME AND I ASK THAT I'M CONTACTED SOON TO RESOLVE THIS MOST SERIOUS MATTER.
