Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON 01/28/2020 WHEN THE SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 35 MPH, AND DID RUN OVER SOME SAND THAT WAS ON THE ROAD THAT MADE THE CAR SLIP SOMEWHAT, BUT NOT MUCH. AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME, BUT DID GET HOME SAFELY. THE SERVICE STATION I WENT TO THE NEXT MORNING TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OUT FOR THE POWER STEERING ISSUE, BUT IT SEEMS MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED. WHY IS THAT IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE FORD FUSION? I HAVE NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS I DO NOT HAVE 1800.00 TO 2000.00 TO SPEND ON THIS REPAIR AT THE MOMENT.
