Failure Date: 02/20/2020

My wife was driving our 2011 Fusion and the power steering light came on and the warning light stated to service the power steering immediately . The steering locked down where she could no longer control the car so she pulled over and I had the car towed to the local Ford dealer : stokes hodges Ford (1850 jefferson davis hwy graniteville, SC 29829) at my expense. They checked and confirmed that this power steering recall was applicable to our Fusion and would install it. The service department called me back later in the week and said that they could not replicate the issue and that that the car showed no code therefore they could not install the recall parts. My wife almost had a serious accident because of the power steering issue so she is afraid to drive the car again due to her close call with an accident. I furthermore called the Ford motor company office for issues like this and they agreed with the Ford dealer and ignored me. The bottom line is that I insist that the recall be installed before we drive the Fusion again. . The vehicle was in motion . The problem occurred while turning on a highway onto another at a stop light. . The recall consists of replacing a steering gear and an electronic steering assist system is what the dealer told me. I brought the car new and was never notified by the Ford motor company about this issue. Please help as soon as possible so we can use the car again without being scared . I found this information on the Ford motor company recall website :1field service actions: epas steering efforts thanks joe n brown.
