Consumer Description

2011 FORD FUSIONS WERE RECALLED IN 2015 FOR SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. MY 2011 FORD FUSION WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BECAUSE LAST WINTER I SUDDENLY LOST POWER STEERING WHILE IN MOTION, TURNING IN A PARKING LOT. FORTUNATELY I WASN'T GOING FAST AT THE TIME, AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP. THE AUTO SHOP USED "TSB 11-11-03" THAT WAS PUBLISHED ON NOV 3, 2011, WHICH INDICATES THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY KNEW ABOUT HIGH FRICTION ISSUES IN SOME CONTROL ARMS THAT CAN CAUSE THE POWER STEERING TO FAIL. THE AUTO SHOP FOLLOWED THE SERVICE PROCEDURE SPECIFIED IN TSB 11-11-03 AND REPLACED BOTH CONTROL ARMS, WHICH FIXED THE PROBLEM. SINCE THE KNOWN SERVICE PROCEDURE FIXED THE KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING, I PRESUME MY 2011 FORD FUSION SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FROM 2015, AND PERHAPS OTHER EXCLUDED 2011 FORD FUSIONS COULD BE IN JEOPARDY OF THEIR POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILING, CONSIDERING MINE DIDN'T FAIL UNTIL NOVEMBER OF 2019.
