NHTSA Complaint #11307877 — 2012 FORD FUSION

STARTED MY CAR AT WORK FRIDAY, FEB 7TH AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF SITTING THERE IN THE PARKING LOT, A MESSAGE POPPED UP ON MY DASH SAYING "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". MY STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T MOVE. SHUT MY CAR OFF. WAITED A MINUTE. STARTED IT BACK UP. WAITED ANOTHER MINUTE AND NO MESSAGE. HAVEN'T SEEN IT SINCE BUT ALSO KNOW THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS ON FUSIONS FOR THIS. UNSURE IF MINE FALLS INTO THIS RECALL. CALLED FORD DEALERSHIP HERE AND THEY COULDN'T TELL ME FOR SURE WHETHER THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY EXACT VEHICLE. TOLD ME TO WAIT IT OUT TO SEE IF MESSAGE COMES BACK AGAIN. TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN IF MESSAGE RETURNS OR STARTS HAVING PROBLEMS. WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW IF MY VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THIS RECALL OR NOT AS I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO WAIT IT OUT AND FIND OUT THE HARD WAY.
