POWER STEERING MAKES A SCRAPING NOISE WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. SOMETIMES IT GETS HARDER TO TURN AND THERE ARE NOISES ASSOCIATED WITH IT. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING WHEN TURNING. I AM AFRAID THAT POWER STEERING WILL FAIL ON THAT CAR LEAVING ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR EVEN PUT ME AT RISK FOR AN ACCIDENT.

WHEN I STARTED MY 2012 FORD FUSION AS NORMAL, THE POWER STEERING DIDN'T WORK AND THE WARNING LIGHTS "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" AND "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" APPEARED ON MY DASH BOARD. I HAVE HAD THE RECALL WORK DONE PREVIOUSLY BUT APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM WAS NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSED AS I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRING. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE FOR OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE OTHER THAN PAYING RIDICULOUS MONEY TO REPAIR IT MYSELF, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING ERROR?!?

THE "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" AND "SERVICE POWER STEERING" WARNINGS SHOWED UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE BUT WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR AND TURNING IT BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING WARNING CHANGED TO "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AND THERE WAS TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A FORD DEALER AND SERVICED UNDER THE RECALL 15V340000. TWO WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE SAME INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE TWO SERVICE WARNINGS SHOWED UP AGAIN. LIKE THE FIRST TIME, AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON, THERE WAS TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICING BUT THIS TIME THE CAR'S COMPUTER APPARENTLY PRODUCED CODES OUTSIDE OF THE REALM OF THE RECALL WHILE STILL AFFECTING THE SAME SYSTEM. THE REPAIR COST FOR THE SECOND VISIT WAS ABOUT $1,500. CAR MILEAGE IS ONLY 95000.
