THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS INCHES AWAY FROM HITTING A LITTLE GIRL AND HER GRANDMOTHER AS I WAS TURNING TO PARK MY CAR AT THE MALL WHEN I SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 15 TIMES SINCE THAT DAY AND JUST YESTERDAY I WAS MAKING A TURN ONTO A RATHER LARGE STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENED AGAIN.

MY 2011 FORD FUSION SE HAS HAD THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE LIGHT GO OFF AND THE POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE READ PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS AND HAVE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER A MINUTE OR SO AND THE LIGHT GOES OFF, THE POWER STEERING AGAIN WORKS. I HAD THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR AN ALIGMENT AND THEY HAD THE SAME POWER STEERING ISSUE. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM BY FORD, HOWEVER MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I HAVE TALKED TO FORD AND THEY HAVE PASSED ON MY COMPLAINT TO CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO STATE THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THEY CAN DO. I AM SO DISGUSTED BY FORD RIGHT NOW. I DO FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT THE RECALL IS FOR CERTAIN VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AT CERTAIN PLANTS WITH CERTAIN PARTS, HOWEVER I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A COMPANY CAN IGNORE SOMEONE REGARDING A SAFETY...

ON 2 RECENT OCCASIONS, I LOST MY POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE. I DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BUT NEARLY WENT OFF THE ROAD. I RECEIVED 2 MESSAGES ON MY DASHBOARD. POWER STEERING ASSIST DEFAULT AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THERE IS A RECALL ( 15S318) ON 2011 FORD FUSION AND OTHER FORD VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I CALLED FORD ON 08/24/2015 AND THEY TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. APPROX COST FOR REPAIR IS 1600-2000. THE POWER STEERING WILL NOT RESET ITSELF SO I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO THIS MATTER.

I WAS DRIVING EARLY IN THE MORNING ON JULY 4, 2015 AND THE STEERING WENT OUT PRIOR TO HITTING A DEER. I TRIED TO AVOID HITTING THE DEER BUT COULDN'T TURN FAST ENOUGH DUE TO THE LOSS OF STEERING. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE SUBFRAME AND BOTH UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS ON BOTH SIDES REPLACED AND A WHEEL ALIGNMENT COMPLETED AS WELL. STILL THE LOSS OF STEERING EXISTS AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IS NOT WANTING TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THE LOST OF STEERING OCCURED I TOOK THE CAR TO MIDAS AND THEY REPLACED THE TWO 50 AMP FUSES AND STEERING WAS RESTORED. BUT FORD DEALERSHIP IS STATING THEY SAW NO DTCS RELATING TO LOSS OF STEERING BUT THE LOSS OF STEERING MESSAGE STILL SHOWS UP ON DASH.

IT APPEARED TO BE LOSS OF STEERING WHEN LEAVING A PARKING SPOT IN THE PARKING LOT. STEERING STILL WORKED, BUT WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN, WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE HOME BY DRIVING VERY SLOWLY. AFTER ONE DAY THE CAR STARTED UP AND THE STEERING SEEMED TO WORK OK AGAIN, BUT A STEERING CODE FLASHED IN DASH. HAVE NOT FIXED CAR YET -- WAS TOLD THAT REPAIR WOULD BE OVER $1700 BY A MECHANIC.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT - CAUSING POWER STEERING FAILURE. RESTARTING CAR FIXED PROBLEM. HAPPEN A FEW TIMES UP UNTIL AUGUST 18TH (AT 39,500 MILES) WHEN I HAD A COMPLETE POWER STEERING FAILURE. POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WARNING ON CAR DASH. NO FIXING IT THIS TIME. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO A GARAGE FOR REPAIR. ONCE THE CORRECT RACK & PINION PART WAS LOCATED - WAS ONLY ONE AVAILABLE IN THE ENTIRE US. IT IS ON ORDER FOR MY GARAGE HOWEVER I'M NOT SURE IT IS EVEN GOING TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS EXACT PROBLEM IS BEING RECALLED ON #15S18 - HOWEVER MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO THE MONTH IT WAS MANUFACTURED. THIS IS ACCORDING TO FORD CUSTOMER CARE. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MY CAR.
