PARKING BRAKE FREEZES IN SNOWY WEATHER WHEN APPLIED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO RELEASE. REPORTED TO DEALER WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY SAID THEY "FIXED" IT BUT IT STILL FREEZES. ONLY WAY TO FREE IT IS TO DRIVE AND CAUSE HEAT BUILD UP FREE THE BRAKE. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD IN SNOWY CONDITIONS BECAUSE ONLY ONE REAR WHEEL IS LOCKED DOWN WHICH WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO SKID SIDEWAYS WHILE TRYING TO GET THE BRAKE RELEASED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND NOW I JUST DON'T USE THE BRAKE WHICH CAUSES ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE WHEN PARKING ON HILLS.

IN 2014 THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON THE FORD FUSION 2010 AT 56147 MILEAGE WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE FORD DEALER TRIED RESETTING IT AND IT CONTINUED TO INTERMITTENTLY LOSE STEERIING. IF I WAS NOT AS STRONG OR HAS EXPERIENCED OF A DRIVER AS I AM I WOULD OF DEFINITELY BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT! THE POWER STEERING WAS REPLACED BY THE FORD DEALER AS IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW 2 1/2 YEARS LATER AT 102,000 MILEAGE I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE FREEWAY AND BARELY AVOIDED GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT AS IT IS THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. THE POWER STEERING NO LONGER HAS A WARRANTY AFTER 2 YEARS. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED WHEN THE SAME POWER STEERING WAS RECALLED ON 2011 AND 2012 FORD FUSIONS?
