2012 FORD FUSION Steering Problems

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HOME AND WHEN SHE PULLED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING WITH THE INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYING "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AND "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC". I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THE FORD RECALL 15S18 (NHTSA 15V340000), WHICH FOR SOME REASON DOES NOT APPEAR TO INCLUDE MY DAUGHTER'S VEHICLE DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE RECALL SUMMARY DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT OCCURRED WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE STEERING SYSTEM THANKFULLY SHE WAS NOT TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

2012 FORD FUSION LOST TRACTION CONTROL AND NOW LOST ALL POWER STEERING. DASH STATES POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. USUALLY IF I TURN CAR OFF THEN BACK ON IT WILL GIVE POWER STEERING BACK. TODAY I DID THAT ABOUT TEN TIMES AND IT STILL WOULDN'T GIVE STEERING BACK. MY CAR WAS STATIONARY BUT DRIVEN HOME WITHOUT POWER STEERING VERY CAREFULLY.

WENT TO BACK CAR OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ON SAYING TO 'SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW'.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE WARNING CAME ACROSS TO SERVICE ADVANCE TEAK SYSTEM AND POWER STEERING. WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE RAN CODES THAT MATCHED WITH A RECALL ON 2012 FUSIONS AND SUGGESTED I HAVE THE NEAREST FORD GARAGE LOOK AT IT. THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BUT THE RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VIN NUMBER. NOW I AM OUT $1600 ON A PROBLEM THAT IS KNOWN BY FORD BUT THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. DOING RESEARCH IT APPEARS THIS IS BECOMING A VERY BIG PROBLEM AND I THINK THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED.

STARTED VEHICLE, POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE DISPLAYED ON DASH. VEHICLE LOCKED UP AND WAS UNABLE TO TURN WHEEL. HAPPENED WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY.

INTERMITTENT FAILING POWER ELECTRICAL ASSIST STEERING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT SOME TIMES TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON FIXES THE PROBLEM TEMP

THE POWER STEERING ASSIST SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AND SENT A CODE TO THE DIGITAL READOUT ON THE DASH THAT SAID " POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AS WELL AS "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" THIS HAPPEN I'VE HAD MANUAL STEERING EVER SENSE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THEIR DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO PERFORM AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE RESIDENCE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER. A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WAS CONTACTED WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT OF A POSSIBLE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V340000 (STEERING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 150,000.*DT *TR

I WAS BEGINNING TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE WITH MY TWO YOUNG KIDS IN THE CAR AFTER VISITING THE DOLLAR STORE WHEN MY CAR FROZE UP I LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD IT SAID POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED OR SIMILAR TO THOSE WORDS. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND I TURNED MY CAR OFF TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE SAME MESSAGE CAME ACROSS THE DASHBOARD. I PULLED FORWARD TO THE SPOT IN FRONT OF ME AND I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL. I HAD A FAMILY FRIEND DRIVE IT DOWN THE STREET TO MY HOME. NO LEAKAGE OF FLUID PRESENT.

THIS VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A STREET AND THE STEERING WHEEL FELT FUNNY AS DRIVING. IT STARTED GETTING ALOT OF PLAY IN IT AND JERKS. I DID TAKE THE CAR INTO A ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC TO LEARN THAT THERE WAS 2 RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. STEERING GEAR REPLACEMENT, STEERING CONTROL MODULE. SAFETY RECALL # 15S18 SUPPLIEMENT #1 AND SAFETY AIR BAG REPAIR OR REPACEMENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FORD, AT FIRST THEY COULDNT FIND A RECALL FOR THE STEERING. AFTER SOME SEARCHING, THEY FOUND IT. THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST DIAGNOSED BY A ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC. FORD WANTS TO CHARGE ME $180.00 FOR DIAGNOSTIC IF THE STEERING PROBLEM ISNT RELATED TO THE RECALL. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY ANOTHER MECHANIC AS THE STEERING GEAR,

POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 18 MONTH.

THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS FINE, NO FUSE ISSUES. THERE WAS A RECALL CONCERNING THIS ISSUE WITH ONLY A FEW OF THESE VEHICLES. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE.

SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING, SAYS SERVICE ADVANCETRACK AS WELL AS SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW WHICH HAS BEEN LISTED AS AN ISSUE FOR MANY OF MY MAKE AND MODEL CAR

I HAVE A 2012 FORD FUSION I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AN MY SERVICE POWERING STEERING LIGHT COMES ON THEN WITHIN SECONDS I LOST POWER STEERING THANKFULLY I WASN'T GOING AROUND A CURVE THAT COULD HAVE ENDED BAD

POWER STEERING FAULT LIGHT CAME ON IN THE VEHICLE. I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS WITH FORD FUSION MODELS STARTING IN 2013.

MY CAR IS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE POWER STREETING WHEEL. AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR THE WHEEL TIGHTEN UP AND IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO TURN. POWER STREERING AT FAULT IS WHAT FLASHES ON THE DASHBORED. I USE MY CAR TO GO TO SCHOOL AND WORK AND RIGHT NOW IT'S HARD FOR ME TO DO SO. I WENT TO THE CAR DEALER SHIP AND THEY WANT TWO GRAND TO FIX IT! THEY SAY I NEED RACK AND PINION.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TONIGHT AND A MILE DOWN THE ROAD AN ALARM WENT OFF, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND NOTIFICATION SHOWED UP THAT SAID SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW ADVANCETRAC. I MADE IT DOWN THE ROAD TO A FRIENDS HOUSE FINE AND WHEN I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN, I WAS SUDDENLY UNABLE TO MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL. I LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT I AM SEEING OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD VERY BAD STORIES. THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! I STILL HAVE TO CALL FORD AND SEE IF MY VEHICLE IS COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND I AM WORRIED BECAUSE I AM SEEING TOO MANY STORIES OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME STORY AS MINE NOT BEING COVERED! NOT GOOD! HOPE THIS IS ADDRESSED SOON!!!!

NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND THE POWER STEERING FAULT WARNING WOULD FLASH ACROSS THE DISPLAY. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, THE DISPLAY CHANGES WARNINGS AND SAYS "POWER STEERING FAULT" OR "SEVERICE POWER STEERING NOW". HAD A LOCAL MECHANIC CLEAR OUT THE CODE AND STEERING WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL...EVERYTHING HAS BEEN FINE SINCE BUT NOW THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A WHINING/WEIRD SOUND WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL UNDER 10MPH AND ITS VERY STIFF WHEN TRYING TO TURN BUT ONCE I GET OVER 10MPH IT LOOSENS UP AND IS NORMAL...MY CAR ISN'T CURRENTLY UNDER ANY RECALL BUT I FEEL LIKE THE POWER STEERING SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL IF ITS A CONTINUOUS ISSUE

I GOT THIS 2012 FORD FUSION SE FOR DAUGHTER AND YESTERDAY, SHE CALLED ME TO TELL ME THAT THE "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" SHOWED UP ON HER DASH. AS SHE WAS ABOUT TO TRY TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, SHE COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. SHE HAD TO MISS SCHOOL AND WORK, DUE TO THE ISSUE, BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT HER TO TAKE ANY CHANCES. WHEN I GOT HOME AFTER WORK, TO MOVE IT INTO THE GARAGE, TO CHECK IT OUT, THE DASH CODE WENT AWAY AND IT APPEARED TO BE FINE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH AND CALLING THE FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY FOUND A RECALL FROM 2015 THAT DESCRIBES THIS SAME ISSUE IN 2011-2012 FORD FUSIONS BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED, IT SEEMS THAT IT'S THE SAME PART AND ISSUE, THAT COULD/SHOULD INCLUDE MORE VEHICLES. FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN READING AND SEEING, THIS SEEMS...

VEHICLE MAKES RANDOM SQUEAL NOISE WHEN MOVING AND TURNING 5-20 MPH AND SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE THE STEER TIRES ARE NOT TURNING WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. THERE ARE NO FAIL LIGHTS ILLUMINATING ON THE DASH. SOMETIMES BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED, SOMETIMES THEY ARE NOT. ACCORDING TO FORD, THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL THAT OTHER OWNERS OF FUSIONS ENCOUNTERED EVEN THOUGH THE DESCRIPTION OF THEIR ISSUE MATCHES MINE.

OCCASIONALLY MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST WOULD FAIL AND A WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND I WOULD HAVE NO POWER STEERING. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT, THE ISSUE WOULD NOT COME UP. BUT NOW MY POWER STEERING HAS FAILED AND WILL NOT COME BACK. FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 FORD FUSION SEL DOWN A STREET ON OCTOBER 4TH 2020 NEAR WHERE I LIVE AND THIS ALARM STARTED GOING OFF AND IT ALERTED ME THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND I LOST MY STEERING AND HIT A CURB. LUCKILY I DIDN'T DO ANYMORE DAMAGE OR HIT SOMEONE. I DRUG IT HOME AND HAD A WRECKER PICK IT UP TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY STEERING BOX OR RACK AND PINION, IT ALL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF 1868.00. THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOUND A RECALL FROM 2015 THAT DESCRIBES THIS SAME ISSUE IN 2011-2012 FORD FUSIONS BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED, MAYBE BY MISTAKE SEEMS HOW IT'S THE SAME PART THAT FORD KNEW WAS CAUSING PROBLEMS. IT'S JUST A GOOD THING THAT I DIDN'T HIT SOMEONE AND KILL THEM WITH FORD...

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. NO POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. WE WERE LEAVING THE DOCTORS OFFICE AND WHEN WE STARTED THE CAR THE POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A POLE ON A CORNER NEARBY. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED. THE CONTACT CONTACTED THE DEALER (MTN. VIEW FORD 301 E 20TH ST, CHATTANOOGA, TN 37408; (423) 756-1331) WHO INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL OPEN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

MY POWER STEERING AND ADVANCE TRAC. WENT OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN. CALLED FORD AND FOUND OUT THAT FORD FUSIONS HAD A RECALL BACK IN 2015 ON THE POWER STEERING, BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT MY FORD FUSION'S VIN NUMBER DIDN'T MATCH THE ONES THAT HAD A RECALL. I THINK THIS IS VERY STUPID. I'M DRIVING A FORD FUSION AND THE ODDS OF MY POWER STEERING GOING OUT IS VERY HIGH, NO MATTER IF MY VIN NUMBER IS THE CORRECT ONE OR NOT?!?!?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TWO YEARS AGO, WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AN UNKNOWN FORD DEALER IN MILWAUKEE, WI, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO YEARS LATER, WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING, AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HIT A GUARD RAIL AND CRASHED INTO A DITCH. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT AND NO REPORT OF ANY INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED BUT WAS NOT TOWED. THE CONTACT MET HIS WIFE AT THE SCENE AND DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE GORDIE BOUCHER FORD OF MENOMONEE FALLS DEALER, LOCATED AT: N88W14300 MAIN ST, MENOMONEE FALLS, WI 53051 WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE RECALL, NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V340000 (STEERING), DID NOT APPLY TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS...

2012 FUSION SEL, 3.0L V6, 112,000 MILES: ON 9-3-2020 I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE LOCAL SHOPPING CENTER. AS I WAS PROCEEDING IT APPEARED THAT THE ENGINE HAD STALLED. IN ACTUALITY THE ENGINE DID NOT STALL AND THERE WAS A FAULT MESSAGE DISPLAYED "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". I PROCEEDED HOME WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY STEERING THE CAR. ON THE WAY HOME I STOPPED AT THE LOCAL AUTOZONE CAR CARE CENTER TO REVIEW THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION AND REMEDY. THE MANUAL STATED THAT THERE WAS NO SERVICE FOR THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM ON THIS MODEL FUSION (FULLY ELECTRIC). I PROCEEDED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND AS SOON AS I WENT FORWARD A SECOND ALARM DISPLAYED "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC". NOW THE DISPLAY TOGGLED BETWEEN THESE TWO ALARMS. THE DAY PRIOR TO MY SERVICE APPOINTMENT I NOTICED THAT WHEN I STARTED THE CAR ONLY THE "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" ALARM DISPLAYED, BUT THE...

CAR SENSOR CAME ON SHOWING EPAS POWER STEERING NEEDED SERVICED AND WITHIN 10 MINUTES THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING HAD WENT OUT COMPLETELY. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME. IT IS NOW UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE CAR NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER AND REACT QUICKLY WHEN BEING DRIVEN.

TL* THE CONTACTS DAUGHTER OWNS A 2012 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE WARNING LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOE MYERS FORD LOCATED AT 16634 NORTHWEST FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77040, (713) 766-3600, AND WAS DIAGNOSED THEY RETRIEVED CODE:U3000:49 IN PSCM WITH NEEDING STEERING GEAR TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V340000 (STEERING) HOWEVER THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.*LN*JB

POWER STEERING WOULD FAIL EVERY SO OFTEN WHEN I FIRST CRANKED THE VEHICLE. NEVER HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. I COULD TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT A MIN, CRANK IT AGAIN AND IT WOULD BE FINE. ON 9/9/2020 I CRANKED THE CAR WHILE PARKED AND POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME ON, LOSS OF POWER STEERING OCCURED AND WILL NOT GO AWAY THIS TIME. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT POWER STEERING. THE CAR IS IN MY DRIVEWAY. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD FUSIONS. I FEEL FORD SHOULD FIX THIS DEFECT/FLAW FREE OF CHARGE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SERVICE POWER STEERING APPEARED.THE STEERING BECAME HARD TO HANDLE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. NOW IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING IS LOCKED UP.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM REVERTS TO MANUAL STEERING MODE.. IN MANUAL STEERING MODE THERE IS STILL A MECHANICAL LINKAGE BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE ROAD WHEELS, ALLOWING STEERING CONTROL TO BE MAINTAINED WITH GREAT DIFFIVULTY. A MESSAGE DISPLAYS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MESSAGE CENTER AND A CHIME WILL SOUND TO INFORM THE DRIVER. LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST REQUIRES GREATER STEERING EFFORT, WHICH MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. FORD CLAIMS THERE IS NO CODE IN THE COMPUTER, SO THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. IT IS HAPPENING REPEATEDLY, IN SPITE OF THE LACK OF CODE IN THE COMPUTER. CLEARLY EITHER THE COMPUTER IS FAULTY OR THE DEVICE WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO SEND THE CODE TO THE COMPUTER IS FAULTY.

POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T TURN EASILY.

I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR YEARS AND THE POWER ASSIST FAULT LIGHT HAS CAME ON NUMEROUS TIMES MOSTLY WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR BUT IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AS WELL MAKING IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU LOSE STEERING. USUALLY I CAN POWER OFF AND RESTART AND IT GOES AWAY. THIS MORNING I HAVE RESTARTED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WILL NOT GO AWAY. I HAVE LOOKED UP RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE AND RECALL 15S18 EXPLAINS MY EXACT ISSUE. HOWEVER THE CUT OFF DATE FOR VEHICLES FOR THIS RECALL IS 2/28/12 AND MY VEHICLE WAS MADE 3/12/12. LESS THAN 2 WEEKS BETWEEN THE INFECTED VS MY CAR. FORD SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS AS I BELIEVE ITS TOO CLOSE OF A DATE TO REALLY KNOW IF MY CAR WAS MADE WITH THE SAME PARTS THAT WERE DEFECTIVE 10DAYS BEFORE MINE

VEHICLE IS SHOWING POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. THIS HAPPENS WHILE TURNING AND WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME RECALL ON OTHER 2012 FORD FUSION MODELS.

I LEFT WORK AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE, NO TROUBLE STEERING OR ANYTHING. I STOPPED TO GET GAS AND TURNED OFF THE CAR WHEN I WAS DONE AND STARTED THE CAR BACK UP LIGHTS TURNED ON THE DASH AND MY STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T MOVE. IT WAS SAYING SERVICE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING NOW. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE AND NOW IT JUST QUIT WORKING OUT OF NOWHERE. SO I WAS PARKED WHEN IT QUIT WORKING.

THIS MAKE THE SECOND TIME HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. WE HAD MADE IT HOME AND THE TIRE HAD WENT FLAT. WE TOOK THE TIRE OFF GOT IT REPAIRED AND PUT THE TIRE BACK ON. ONCE WE GOT IT THE CAR TO DRIVE IT THE POWER STEERING WAS STIFF. SO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD , WE RESEARCH TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG. WE CALLED FORD AND THEY TOLD US THAT IT WAS A RECALL ON IT, BUT WHEN WE GAVE THE VIN# IT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WHY NOT IT WAS PRODUCED DOING THE TIMES, ITS A 2012 FORD FUSION. WE DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET THIS FIXED ESPECIALLY WITH THE PANDEMIC GOING ON. WE JUST RTYING TO KEEP OUR JOBS. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

MY POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT AND UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION ON THE INTERNET IT SEEMS THIS IS AN EXTREMELY POPULAR ISSUE. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED BY THE RECALL.
