Consumer Description

I own a 2015 Ford Focus with 69,071 miles - low mileage. It's driven lightly. A couple of months ago, I was driving when suddenly the power steering went out and was extremely difficult to drive and manuever the vehicle. I went to the local dealership to schedule repairs and their computers were out so I couldn't even make an appt. So, I called Ford Motor Company about the power steering going out suddenly on my vehicle while driving to determine if my 2015 Ford Focus was covered for this repair in their current Ford Focus power steering recalls after finding thousands of cases reported for the exact same thing on 2010 - 2015 Ford Focus vehicles. I discovered that my vehicle is not included in the recalls. This is a very dangerous issue that Ford should take responsibility for the safety of their consumers and families who drive their products. There are 12 or more other active recalls for this vehicle presently - Side door latch replacement #20S15 where the doors can suddenly open while driving and fuel tank deformation and may crack in a crash # 15C11 for my vehicle. I took my vehicle to the local Ford dealership today to have the other 2 recalls completed and diagnose the power steering, only to be quoted $3014 for their VERY COMMON known power steering issue. They also did not complete the recall work when this was requested as a priority, so I am still driving around in this dangerous vehicle. Ford recalled 487,301+ 2015 Ford Fusions cars for this very same power steering issue. The recall # is 15S14. NHTSA Campaign #15V250000. Another power steering recall for 2015 Ford Fusion is #19S26 affecting 116,160+ vehicles NHTSA Campaign # 19V632000. Approximately 300,170 Ford Fusions were made in 2015 - how can only some be covered when this is such a common known issue? $3014 to repair the KNOWN issue is not acceptable and dangerous.
