I AM A 23 YEAR OLD FEMALE AND IT TAKES EVERY BIT OF STRENGTH I HAVE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT A VEHICLE 2 YEARS OLD WOULD NEED THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING SYSTEM REPLACED (ACCORDING TO FORD. THIS WOULD COST AROUND 2400). THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND/OR FATALITIES! FORD NEEDS TO OWN UP AND DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE POWER STEERING ON OUR 2012 FORD FUSION STARTED TO SPORADICALLY STOP WORKING AND THEN START WORKING AGAIN ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. FORD COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM DUE TO IT WORKING AT TIME OF SERVICE BUT SUGGESTED THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE DUE TO LOW TIRE PRESSURE. AFTER MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES IT FINALLY STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THE FUSION WAS TOWED TO FORD SERVICE WHERE THEY FOUND IT NEEDED REPAIRS OF APPROXIMATELY $1500.00 TO REPLACE A PART IN THE POWER STEERING THAT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. FORD CUSTOMER CARE OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE ON REPAIRS FOR STEERING FAILURE BUT ONLY TOLD US IT WAS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR PARTS AND REPAIRS THAT WERE OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS DUE TO POWER STEERING FAILURE AT THE PRESENT TIME. WE FEEL VERY LUCKY THAT THE STEERING FAILURE DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING HAS FAILED ABOUT 6 TIMES SINCE I RECEIVED THE CAR NEW AT THE END OF 2011. EACH TIME THE POWER STEERING FAILED A MESSAGE WOULD APPEAR ON THE DASH STATING THAT THE POWER STEERING HAS FAILED, THEN THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY, VERY HARD TO TURN. SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT CORRECTS THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS - THIS COULD BE 10 MONTHS OR AS SHORT A 2 DAYS. THE FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED IN DIFFERENT DRIVING ENVIRONMENT - PARKING LOTS TWICE, TOWN ROADS, AND HIGHWAYS. WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILS THE FORCES REQUIRED TO STEER THE CAR ARE EXTREME. I'M AN AVERAGE PERSON (5'8" 180LBS) AND HAVE BARELY ENOUGH STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEEL IN A FAILURE CONDITION. MY SISTER (5' 2" 105 LBS) WILL LIKELY CRASH. TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALER TODAY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REPAIRED, AND AFTER $148.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE THEY SAID THEY FOUND NO FAULT CODES IN THE CAR COMPUTER INDICATING THERE HAD BEEN ANY POWER STEERING FAILURES, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT UNTIL THEY PHYSICALLY SAW THE PROBLEM. NO FAULT CODE REGISTRATION FOR SUCH A SERIOUS PROBLEM IS UNBELIEVABLE - A SERIOUS DEFECT IN ITSELF. I CONCEDER THIS CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

TAKING OFF FROM BEING STOPPED AT RED LIGHT. POWER STEERING ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON AND MY POWER STEERING FAILED. I PULLED TO SAFE SPOT OFF ROAD WHILE MY WIFE CHECKED VEHICLE MANUAL. IT INSTRUCTED TO TURN OFF ENGINE AND WAIT 10 SECONDS. WE DID AND VEHICLE STEERING WAS FINE. SINCE MY CAR WAS DUE FOR A 60,000 MILE INSPECTION I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. I EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID IT MAY BE A COMPUTER MODULE THAT WOULD COST ABOUT $125 ON TOP OF THE ROUTINE INSPECTION CHARGES. I WAS QUITE SURPRISED AND VERY ANGRY WHEN THE DEALER CALLED AND SAID IT WOULD COST ABOUT $2200.00. WHAT REALLY MADE ME ANGRIER WAS THAT THE CAR WAS 1000 MILES OR SO OUT OF WARRANTY AND I JUST MADE THE LAST CAR LOAN PAYMENT. THE DEALER SAID THEY SEE IT WITH FUSIONS BUT USUALLY AFTER THEY HAVE HIT POT HOLES. THE FACT THAT THEY SAID, IT WAS SOMETHING THEY SEE ON FUSIONS MADE ME WONDER WHY THE COMPANY CAN'T GET OUT AHEAD OF THE PROBLEM, AND RECALL THEM. I ALSO HAD A TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE PROBLEM WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY SAID WE HAD A KIT TO FIX IT SINCE IT HAPPENS ON THE "NEW FUSIONS". BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS I AM DONE WITH FORDS. MY FIRST ONE AND LAST ONE!! SORRY TO SAY THIS HAS ONCE AGAIN SOURED ME ON AMERICAN CARS. I AM GOING BACK TO IMPORTS WHICH I HAVE NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH IN 40 ODD YEARS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER AND I WILL LOOK FORWARD TO PROGRESS ON THIS ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *TR
