NHTSA Complaint #11352220 — 2012 FORD FUSION

I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR YEARS AND THE POWER ASSIST FAULT LIGHT HAS CAME ON NUMEROUS TIMES MOSTLY WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR BUT IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AS WELL MAKING IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU LOSE STEERING. USUALLY I CAN POWER OFF AND RESTART AND IT GOES AWAY. THIS MORNING I HAVE RESTARTED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WILL NOT GO AWAY. I HAVE LOOKED UP RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE AND RECALL 15S18 EXPLAINS MY EXACT ISSUE. HOWEVER THE CUT OFF DATE FOR VEHICLES FOR THIS RECALL IS 2/28/12 AND MY VEHICLE WAS MADE 3/12/12. LESS THAN 2 WEEKS BETWEEN THE INFECTED VS MY CAR. FORD SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS AS I BELIEVE ITS TOO CLOSE OF A DATE TO REALLY KNOW IF MY CAR WAS MADE WITH THE SAME PARTS THAT WERE DEFECTIVE 10DAYS BEFORE MINE
