MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2010 FORD FUSION WHEN SHE HIT A POT HOLE WHICH CAUSED THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MODULE TO STOP WORKING. SHE IN TURN LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

UNABLE TO STEER CAR. CAR WAS STATIONARY. CAR WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. WAS LEAVING THE SITE. I STARTED CAR AND WHEN I STARTED TO MOVE I REALIZED THE STEERING WAS NOT WORKING. I WAS UNABLE TO STEER CAR. IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AND CALLED AAA FOR A TOW TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK LAST NIGHT MADE A TURN AND THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP, THE DASH WENT DARK AND IT DISPLAYED A POWER ASSIST FAILURE, SHE STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF THEN ON AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED SO SHE COULD GET HOME. ON THE WAY TO DROPPING THE CAR OFF AT THE REPAIR SHOP THE POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS 2010 FORD FUSION THE POWER STEERING HAS FALLEN NOT ONCE BUT TWICE, WE REPLACED THE POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION 3 YEARS AGO AT 69,460 MILES. THE REPAIR SHOP JUST CALLED AND THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE IS THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION HAS FAILED AGAIN AT 98,000 MILES. I CALLED FAIR OAKS FORD AND THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES LIKE I DESCRIBED BUT YOU CAN SEE ON THE WEBSITE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF ISSUES. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT EACH YEAR, DISPLAYING ON MY DASHBOARD TO "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" AND SERVICE POWER STEERING. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR 3 YEARS NOW. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FIRST TIME THIS ISSUE OCCURRED, I PAID METRO FORD ( LOCATED ON 6455 S WESTERN WHICH IS WHERE I TAKE MY VEHICLE FOR SERVICE), FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED, I BOUGHT THE CAR BACK, I WAS TOLD THIS TIME THE PROBLEM IS MUCH MORE SEVERE AND I WILL HAVE TO HAVE MY ENTIRE POWER STEERING UNIT REPLACED, WHICH COULD COST BETWEEN $2,000 - $3,000. I COULD NOT AFFORD IT. I DROVE AROUND AN ENTIRE YEAR WITH A DYSFUNCTIONAL STEERING WHEEL. I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATING TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR A INSPECTION, SO I DID. THE INSPECTION WAS COMPLETE AND I WAS TOLD, THEY ALSO HAD RESET THE CAR (WHICH SOLVED THE POWER STEERING ISSUE). THIS IS NOW THE THIRD TIME THIS IS HAPPENING, I CALLED IN AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR A RESETTING AND ALSO EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. THEY NEVER ATTEMPTED TO RESET THE CAR, THEY WERE DISMISSIVE OF MY SITUATION, AND JUST KEEP INSISTING I PAY $2K-$3K. PLEASE ACCUSE ANY TYPOS OR RUN ON SENTENCES. I AM FRUSTRATED AS I TYPE THIS. SORRY!!! I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A REP. THERE, THEY DO NOT RESET VEHICLES THERE, BUT I HAVE DOCUMENTS STATING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RESET. THE REPS CONTINUE TO DISH OUT PRICES REASSURING ME MY POWER STEERING UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT WHEN I ASK DID ANYONE ATTEMPT TO RESET THE CAR, I WAS TOLD NO. *TR
