Consumer Description

Went to turn the car on and the message "power steering assist fault" kept blinking on the dashboard. Luckily wasn't driving or this could have turned into an accident. Sat in the car for a couple minutes and turned the car off and on. Message didn't appear again, but I'm nervous to drive longer distances than the 6 mile trip from my place of work to my house. I've read that there is a recall on other fusions in the same year as mine. However, I don't know if the VIN is included. I think they need to 1.) send out a notice to all fusions of that year for a recall and 2.) include other VINs in this recall. I now am nervous about driving this car and I plan on having this looked at by a Ford Dealership promptly. Please get this addressed.
