TURNING OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO A SMALL SIDE STREET POWER STEERING WENT OUT CAUSING COLLISION WITH A MAILBOX AND TRASH CANS ALONG WITH SEVERAL UNSIGHTLY SCRATCHES, DENTS, AND DINGS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR

LOST POWER STEERING....

I WAS DRIVING IN A 45 MILE LANE, MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING HOPPED OFF AND POWER STEERING SERVICE NOW CAME ON. MY CAR HIT THE CURB AND LANDED IN SOMEONE YARD. VERY TERRIFYING. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT. BECAUSE I DON’T MEET THE GUIDELINES FOR THE RECALL. MY CAR IS OVER 150,000 MILES. AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY. I FELT LIKE THIS IS NOT OKAY I ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 2 MONTHS AND THE OWNER NEVER TOOK IT IN WHEN IT WAS UNDER 150,000 MILES. IF IT’S ON RECALL IT SHOULDN’T HAVE A TIME FRAME TO GET IT FIX. IF THEY MESSED UP ON THEIR END FIX IT. NOW THEY ASKING ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX ON THEIR BEHAVE.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST SEVERAL TIMES. USUALLY HAPPENED WHEN BACKING OUT OF PARKING AREA. YESTERDAY HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT ALARM SHOWS ON DASH. I TOOK TO FORD DEALER AFTER FIRST TIME, THEY SAID NO FAULTS WERE IN COMPUTER, SO COULD NOT DIAGNOSE. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE AND NO TROUBLE CODES ARE REGISTERED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND FEEL A RECALL IS NEEDED. I DID TAKE IT IN SEVERAL YEARS AGO ON THE RECALL TO CHECK THE SOFTWARE. OBVIOUSLY THAT FIX DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE.

I HAD A RECALL ON MY CAR IN 2015, I ALREADY GOT THE WORK DONE IN 2014 . RECENTY THE PART DEFALT AGAIN I TOOK IT INTO FORD THEY ARE SAYING IT'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE IT'S HAS MORE THE 150,00/ MILES ON IT. WHEN I GOT THE POWER STEERING WORK DONE THE FRIST TIME IT ONLY HAD 84000 MILES. I HAVE CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ARE SAYING IT'S NOTHING I CAN DO. I STILL MAKE PAYMENTS SO I AM STUCK AT THIS POINT NOT TO MENTION I JUST GOT NEW TIRES FOR 700.00. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS. IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD (I HAD MY DAUGHTER AND COUSIN WITH ME), MY WHEEL STARTED PULLING TO THE LEFT HARD. A LIGHT COMES ON SAYING 'SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK NOW'. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THERE IS A RECALL BUT BECAUSE MY CAR IS OVER A CERTAIN MILEAGE THAT IT'S NOT COVERED AND IT'LL COST ME $2000.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHERS THAT'S HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I AM. I'VE CONTACTED FORD SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX THIS ISSUE...EVEN THOUGH IT'S UNDER A RECALL. I'D REALLY APPRECIATE IT SOMEONE COULD GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. IT'S DANGEROUS AND NOW I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HOW I'M GOING TO GET WHERE MY KIDS AND I NEED TO GO EVERY DAY.

POWER STEERING FAILURE - EPAS, ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST STEERING, CANNOT DRIVE CAR!!!!!! SOME 2011 FORD FUSIONS COVERED BY RECALL. MINE IS NOT. WHY?!?!?!?

MY SON STARTED HIS FUSION AND THE POWER ASSIST FAULT LIGHT CAME ON. HE COULDN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF, AND WHEN I ARRIVED AND STARTED IT, IT WAS FINE AFTER BEING PUT IN REVERSE. I RESEARCHED RECALLS AND FOUND MANY ON THIS VEHICLE. AIR BAGS,LUG NUTS,POWER ASSIST TO NAME A FEW. I CALLED FORD AND THEY RAN THE VIN #, THEY SAID THE NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED. HOW CAN CERTAIN #'S BE COVERED WHEN THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM !? I GUESS THE ONLY FIX IS TO TO HAVE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT ($2000) DRIVE UNSAFELY BECAUSE FORD WON'T ADMIT THEY ARE IN THE WRONG ! I CAN ONLY HOPE NOTHING HAPPENS WHILE HE IS DRIVING..

POWER STERRING DEFAULT ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON AND NO POWER STERRING..THERE WAS A RECALL A FEW YEARS AGO AND IT WAS FIXED AT CROSSROAD FORD IN SANDFORD NC..BUT APPARENTLY IT WASNT FIXED..

NHTSA CAMPAIGN #15V340000 HAPPENED IN MY GARAGE.LOST ALL POWER ASSIST.

2011 FORD FUSION WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING NOW AND ADVANCETRAK WARNINGS CAME ON. TOOK TO SHOP AND WAS TOLD RACK AND PINION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WANTED TO CHARGE ME $3000; I PICK UP MY CAR AND IT'S BEEN WORKING BUT I AM AFRAID AFTER READING EVERYONE ELSE'S ISSUES THAT THIS IS BAD.

THE POWER STEERING IN MY 2011 FORD FUSION HAS BEEN GOING OUT PERIODICALLY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A WIDE TURN BECAUSE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL. THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN I CAUSED TRAFFIC JAMS OR ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED SINCE THE CAR BEHIND ME DIDN'T EXPECT ME TO TAKE SO LONG TO TURN. A LOT OF TIMES THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN I'M STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. I CAN STILL DRIVE THE CAR TO MY DESTINATION LOCALLY USING THE STREETS BUT I FEAR THAT IT WILL GO OUT ONE DAY WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY IT'S USUALLY ONLY ME IN THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENS BUT I'M AFRAID THAT IT MIGHT ALSO HAPPEN WHEN MY KIDS ARE IN THE CAR. IT'S ALSO FRUSTRATING BECAUSE ONLY I CAN DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE WHEN IT HAPPENED ONCE...

I WAS NEVER CONTACTED ABOUT ANY RECALLS. MY MOTHER CONTACTED ME THROUGH EMAIL TO SEE IF I KNEW ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL. 2 RECALLS I ONLY LEARNED ABOUT TODAY BY CHECKING MY CREDIT REPORT BECAUSE THE AGENCY THAT HOLDS THE TITLE REPORTED MY ACCOUNT FOR NON-PAYMENT. I RECIEVED A CARFAX REPORT WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AUGUST 2017 FROM DRIVETIME. I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. NOW, I AM SEEING 4 RECALLS, 2 OF WHICH (2014 & 2016) HAVE APPEARED ONLY NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS BEING SERVICED. I WAS PROBABLY THE ONLY IDIOT IN AMERICA THAT WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE HIGH-MILEAGE, OVER-PRICED VEHICLE IN THE 1ST PLACE. I WAS TOLD IT HAD BEEN A FLEET VEHICLE FOR A RENTAL CAR AGENCY. I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A SAFE VEHICLE. BUT MY FEELING NOW, IS THAT IT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN SOLD. I'M NOT SURE WHAT...
