I WILL BE CONTACTING FORD.

THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY FORD FUSION 2011 BUT MY VIN # IS NOT SHOWING UP AS RECALLED - HELP!! ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE14030 COMPONENTS STEERING OPENED FROM: OCTOBER 2, 2014'SEPTEMBER 10, 2015 SUMMARY THE OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION (ODI) OPENED A PRELIMINARY EVALUATION TO INVESTIGATE COMPLAINTS OF THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A RACK MOUNTED ELECTRIC POWER ASSISTED STEERING (EPAS) UNIT. SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS ALLEGED THAT THE STEERING ASSIST FAILED AND RESULTED IN INCREASED STEERING EFFORTS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO A LOSS OF CONTROL AND IN SOME CASES A CRASH. THE EPAS SYSTEM WAS MANUFACTURED BY TRW AUTOMOTIVE FOR FORD AND WAS DESIGNATED AS GENERATION I. THESE UNITS WERE FIRST PRODUCED AND PUT INTO VEHICLE PRODUCTION IN JULY 2008 BEGINNING WITH THE MODEL YEAR (MY) 2010 FORD FUSION AND MERCURY MILAN. THE SYSTEM IS COMPRISED...

TOOK MY CAR TO GET INSPECTED FOR THE POWER STEERING RECALL BACK IN 2016 AND WAS CLEARED. RANDOMLY I GET THE MESSAGE " POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND IT DISAPPEARS EVERY TIME I RESTART MY CAR SO I TOOK TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP A FEW MONTHS AGO AND FOUND NOTHING. RECENTLY, THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE COMES ON MORE OFTEN. MY CAR DOESNT SHOW ANY PROBLEM DURING THE TIME THE RECALL WAS SENT BUT NOW, THE POWER STEERING ISSUE THAT WAS RECALLED IS MY MAJOR PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN CLEARED OF THE RECALL LIST SINCE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FOUND NO POWER STEERING ISSUE AT THAT TIME.IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR FORD TO FIX THIS ISSUE NOW?

MY SON WENT TO MOVE PUT OF HIS PARKING SPACE AND THE STEERING WAS COMPLETELY GONE, AND THE BRAKES WERE ALSO GONE. WE HAD THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM REPLACED LAST YEAR ALREADY AS THEY WENT OUT WHEN MY 17YR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR, THAT COST $2600 AND NOW THE IT HAPPENS AGAIN ALONG WITH THE STEERING. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 90K MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS WE HAD PLANNED TO SELL THIS CAN BUT NOW WE CANNOT AS IT IS A DANGER TO ANYONE DRIVING IT. FROM THIS SITE I CAN SEE BOTH ISSUES ARE KNOWN, SO HOW IS FORD GETTING AWAY WITH SELLING CARS THAT ARE COMPLETELY UNSAFE? WHEN THE BRAKES WENT FOR MY DAUGHTER SHE WAS ON A 45MPH ROAD BUT LUCKILY SHE COULD PULL IN SOMEWHERE SAFELY. WITH MY SON HE WAS JUST PULLING OUT OF THE SPOT, AND HE...

I WENT OUT INE MORNING TO START MY CAR EVERY THING WAS FINE . ONCE I WAS DRIVING BACK TO MY RESIDENTS MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME UPON TURNING IN. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WENT OFF ON THE LITTLE SCREEN IN THE DASH! I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS IN MY PARKING LOT AND NOT TURNING INTO A STREET WHEN MY CAR LOCKES UP ON ME!!! I HAD MY CHILD IN MY CAR! I AM NOW LONGER ABLE TO USE MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION! MY CHILD HAS SEIZURES AND OTHER MEDICAL ISSUES THAT WE HAVE TO GO TO APPOINTMENTS FOR! AND I HAVE NOW LOST MY JOB DUE TO THIS! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE! SOMETHING SERIOUS COULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH MY TODDLER IN THE CAR!

SEPT. 27TH 2017, FORD 'FIXED' MY CAR, 79,332 MILES. PROBLEM WAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. FORD REPLACED STEERING GEAR AND REPROGRAMMED PSCM. NOW A LITTLE OVER A YEAR LATER, CAR IS DOING THE SAME THING, 3X TODAY, 10/9/18, ONCE LAST WEEK, TWICE 3 WEEKS AGO. ONLY 88,500 MILES.(LESS THAN 10,000 FROM FIX).

MY DAUGHTER HAD HER STEERING GEAR REPAIRED/REPLACED UNDER A RECALL AND NOW IT HAS GONE OUT AGAIN...BUT THEY WON'T FIX IT CAUSE THEY SAY SHE HAS MILES OVER THE WARRANTY. TO ME, IF SAME PROBLEMS HAPPEN TWICE, MAYBE THEY DIDN'T FIX IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. NOW SHE IS STUCK WITHOUT A CAR AND I AM VERY FRUSTRATED. PERSON AT CUSTOMER SEVICE SAYS THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL, BUT DEALER SAYS NO>

THE POWER ASSIST FAILED AND UNABLE TO STEER. IT WAS A $2,000 REPAIR AND A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET INDICATES OTHER FUSIONS FROM THE SAME YEAR WERE PART OF A MAJOR RECALL. BASED ON VIN MINE WAS NOT. THIS DOES NOT SEEM FAIR OR EVEN MAKE SENSE. I CALLED FORD AND THEY WILL NOT OFFER REFUND OR REPAIR.

THERE IS A RECALL #15S18 FOR A POWER STEERING COMPONENT ON MY CAR WITH FORD. THAT POWER STEERING UNIT IS CURRENTLY ACTING UP. I FOUND THE RECALL AND CALLED FORD. I WAS TOLD THAT IF II HAD LESS THAN 150,000 MILES ON THE CAR THEY WOULD FIX IT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP IT CHANGED TO REPROGRAM ONLY THEN F T ACTED UP AGAIN THEY WOULD REPLACE IT. WE BOTH THE CAR USED IN DECEMBER OF 2017. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD HAD THE CAR N FOR THIS RECALL FOR REPROGRAMMING IN JUNE 2017. SO ACCORDING TO THE RECALL THE UNIT SHOULD BE REPLACED SINCE THE PROGRAMMING DID NOT FIX IT. IT STATES THE CAR WILL BE COVERED UP TO 150,0000 MILES. FORD IS SAYING THAT THE RECALL EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES YET THE CAR HAD OVER 60,000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT WENT FOR THERE REPROGRAM IN JUNE...
