Power steering failure while driving. Almost crashed into another vehicle. Recall this now. 2010 Ford Fusion sel 155,000 miles.

Without notice power steering fail to perform while driving, in two occasions I was very close to end in an accident, good driving skill avoid this accidents. Ford made a recall for the 2011 vehicle and not for the 2010 when is exactly the same mechanical parts in both and the 2010 pretty much has as many or more complains than owner of 2011 and 2012. In the long run this factory defect will claim some human life and Ford will have another dead over their shoulder. In one case the vehicle was in motion, in the second case it happen as soon I start driving in my way home. It's a common manufacture problem, Ford knows as well than the government but I'm sure nothing will happen till someone die due to this problem. I have contacted the Ford company and the local dealer with absolutely no positive result. Shame on Ford and the government. I'm a disable person under permanent disability and drive this car is pretty much an impossible under this manufacture mal function recognize problem.

While driving my 2010 Ford Fusion the power steering failed completely. . Could not steer the car. . . Message said "power steering assist fault". Fortunately we were on a city street and not on rt. 9 . . The very busy highway we usually travel on. After a few minutes I shut the car off. . Waited a minute and started it again. . It was ok to drive but only about a mile and it happened again. . We were about 6 miles from home. . . This happened two more times before we actually got home! it was a very scary experience as the power steering failed as I was driving and I was on a curve on a busy street. . . We sat there with the flashers on hoping that no one would run into us! car is now being towed to Ford garage for repair. . . And from what we were told could be very costly. We've been informed that Ford has recalled many cars for this same problem but not the 2010 Fusion which many have had this problem with! I find it absolutely amazing that Ford has been aware of this problem and did not recall the 2010 Fusion. Driving a car that suddenly loses it's steering is definitely life threatening. . . No better reason than that for Ford to recall and repair this ongoing problem with the 2010 Fusions!!.

My son was driving his 2010 Ford Fusion down a country road and the power steering went out.

The electric power steering gear box has failed over 3 times for my vehicle. As in the last 5 months. I even had to get new parts. It cost me too much money and I shouldn't have to be dishing out $1440 for a gear box plus labor because of a recall that could help but you guys don't wanna do it because then it will cost you more money. Shouldn't have put out a car that was in the guinea pig stages without a back up. It's bullshit. Twice I was driving when it failed. One high way and the other driving down a city street going 25. And the other I just turned my car on and it failed. Then it sat in the garage for 4 months before it could get fixed because the part kept failing.

Power steering assist fault- power steering will fail and cannot turn wheel. Happens at start and in motion. Has occurred several times over the last 6 months.

My power steering just stopped working. I am working out of town on business, and will attempt to drive home almost 100 miles with no power steering, because Ford refuses to help me. The message on the evic display states "power steering assist failure" and "service advancetrac" I have researched the Ford recalls with the Fusion and there is an exact recall for this failure in 2011 - 2013 model years. Ford will not do anything for me as mine is not a 2011. How can I have the same defects 1 model year earlier and not be included in this recall?.

I was driving on the freeway and the power steering failed. If my wife was driving I feel she would have been in an accident as I could hardly gain enough strength to turn the car. The dealership said there were recalls yet my vehicle did not qualify as it was built 3 months too soon. I feel that there were steering units installed in the 2010 cars that were part of the bad batch and should have been included in this recall and Ford motors made an arbitrary decision without complete information on the power steering units. As it was it cost almost $2000 to have the dealership fix.

After reading everyone's experiences I find it ridiculous Ford doesn't have a recall on the 2010 too! this car is a financial drain and Ford has definitely lost any future business from me! this happened only a few months after Ford replaced the takata airbag which I've seen others complain about.

Electronic power steering fault. The electronic power steering failed on me multiple times in the past week.

Had multiple occasions of power steering assist failures while driving with near accidents each time (thankfully did not occur). Power steering was restored after shutting off and back on. Took into Ford dealership and they stated that the electronic steering rack has an internal failure requiring replacement. 1966$ to fix. Disappointed in Ford and NHTSA for knowing that the 2010 Ford Fusions likely have similar issues to the recalled 2011-2013 ones yet choose to nothing about it. Happy to provide documentation if requested.

Power steering assist failed while vehicle was parked and the engine was off. The car was derivable and taken to the dealer the next day. Dealer reported that "pulled codes from pcm. Found code p07ae: 09-c8". Dealer quoted $2,100 to replace steering gear. I requested that they "reset codes" which was done. Power steering assist began working. I believe that you are investigating this issue and that Ford did recall some VIN's but not others.

Power steering failed. My car now has around 182,000 miles. 3 weeks ago I stared having issues with the power steering locking up when staring my car on Nov 28th. I turned the key off and I started the car with all working ok. But something seems will go wrong soon and need repairs a Ford dealer ran a test. Test results from my Ford dealer showed I need a new power steering system costing me around $1,800. I understand Ford recalled 2011 Fusions including those built in sept of 2010. But not any 2010 Fusions built earlier that same year.
