Power Steering Light On problems of the 2010 Ford Fusion - part 2

Started car this morning 1/26/19 and the power steering assist failure light came on. I was unable to steer out of my driveway. Currently towing the car to Ford of kirkland, wa for further analysis.

On 01/16/2019 when I was leaving my house, I started the car and when I put it in reverse, the steering locked and warning lights are on saying service advancetrac. I was not able to turn the wheel. I stop and put car in park. The steering came back on and I was able to get warning lights off by restarting car. The following day it did the same exact thing. I did not drive it much till 01/21/2019. That afternoon while turning right onto a county highway, the same thing happened while partway threw the turn. I was not able to steer and almost hit the oncoming car because I was unable to turn my car to complete the turn I was part way into when failure happened. I ended up coming to a stop on the left shoulder. Thank god the other driver was paying attention. And swerved to avoid hitting me when I crossed into his lane. The traction control light came on and the ! came on. And warning said service advancetrac and service power steering now. Was able to restart car and it was back to normal. Very scary! my car has the same rack and pinion as the cars that are covered by the recall 15s18. My car has manufacturing data of 06/09/2010. Therefore it's not part of the recall. But it's the same part and same problem. Please make them expand the recall to cover all cars affected. My car has 123,456 miles on it when issue started.

2010 Ford Fusion power steering light came on at 45 mph coming home. Luck was on my side. I was one mile from home on a straight stretch of highway and started losing power steering. I got into my driveway and cut the car off . This was a Friday. Over the weekend I looked up the light code and got a lot of bad news about the recall that did not happen for the 2010 Fusion on the power assist steering. I bought car new from Ford. Now has 101079 miles on it. Try to move car Monday. I could not move the steering wheel at all. I called the Ford dealership and they got a rollback to bring it in to them. That was 125. 00. Tested for codes for 125. 00. Reset code and drove it for 12 miles and said it may come back on. Quoted 2500. 00 to replace parts and realign front tires. . I am mad I did not get a letter warning about this when they recalled the 2011-12 models. The car will sit still til I get a recall notice. I cannot afford to repair it at this time.

Driving down the road and the service power steering lightcame on out of no where and my steering stopped working.

While driving Fusion service down highway Sunday(12-16-18) service power steering now light came on & couldn't turn steering wheel without complications & had to get home to park car before I hit something due to steering wheel too hard to steer, car shaking, and couldn't hardly keep in lane. The service advance light also came on & both remain on & little to no control left to steer the car so car remains parked. Ford knows there are issues with this part and extremely costly repairs and part is a necessity to safely operate the car. This part should be recalled and repaired at the cost of Ford motor not their customers who seek a safe car to transport themselves and their families in.

While driving kids to school check autotrac and check power steering lights activated. After dropping kids off and arriving home, car was turned off. Car was started again to take to garage to be checked, but wife could not turn wheel. Husband with much effort drove 1/4 mile to garage. Upon checking w/google have found hundreds of same complaints, some involving accidents.

I was driving home at night and attempted to make a right turn at approximately 30 mph after slowing from 45 mph. As I attempted to turn the service power steering light came on my dashboard and I found myself trying to pilot the car with without assistance. This turned out to be difficult to say the least and was only made more difficult because I had little time to register what was happening. The roads were icy and there was a car directly behind me so stopping would likely have resulted it an accident; I forced the wheel but even then I ended up in the oncoming lane and had to struggle to get back into the right lane. Thankfully there was no one in the oncoming lane or an accident likely would have occurred and thankfully that turn was into my neighborhood so I had no further turns to make. The next morning the power steering was still out and the car is effectively useless to me in this state. I do not have $1800 to purchase a replacement part, especially not when that part will likely have to be replaced in the near future. I can't sell the car to anyone like this and I can't afford a new one so I honestly don't know what I'm going to do at this point. It's dissappointing that this same part was recalled for subsequent models but not for the 2010 model; I hope there is some justification for not recalling the part and lives aren't being put at risk as a result of incompetence, corruption, or negligence but I am a cynical man. Fix this.

About a week ago, I got the stability system code a few times when I would start the car. I would turn the car off, then back on and it would reset and be normally drivable. After the second or third time, I noticed that there wasn't power steering when I first turned on the car, and if I tried to turn the wheels, the stability control light would come on. Then the power steering assist light started coming on first and if I didn't do anything except turn off and restart the car the code would clear and I could drive. Yesterday (15 Sep 2018) the power steering system failed and won't come back on. We drove it, without power steering, to the dealership and they said it was not currently covered by the recall.

The steering gear / rack and pinion has failed therefor no power steering. . .
