NHTSA Complaint #11375883 — 2012 FORD FUSION

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE WARNING CAME ACROSS TO SERVICE ADVANCE TEAK SYSTEM AND POWER STEERING. WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE RAN CODES THAT MATCHED WITH A RECALL ON 2012 FUSIONS AND SUGGESTED I HAVE THE NEAREST FORD GARAGE LOOK AT IT. THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BUT THE RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VIN NUMBER. NOW I AM OUT $1600 ON A PROBLEM THAT IS KNOWN BY FORD BUT THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. DOING RESEARCH IT APPEARS THIS IS BECOMING A VERY BIG PROBLEM AND I THINK THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED.
