Steering Failed Problems of Ford Fusion - part 1

Since the first time that bought the car appeared twice in three months at the moment of starting the car: assistance steering power failure. Then turning off the car and start again would go off and run normal. However today appeared and nothing worked. After one hour trying to make it work we never could. So, we had to call the towing service and go home. I’ve checked the recall but nothing appears under my VIN number that has to do with this problem.

The power steering has sporadically failed twice within the past month while driving at low speed (once at a gas station, another while making a right turn at a stop sign). The incident with the stop sign almost caused a collision because I was unable to turn the steering wheel. I immediately turned on my hazard lights and drifted to a curb across the street. Turning the vehicle off and back on restores power to the steering wheel. The steering wheel is near impossible to turn when the power fails. I took it to the Ford dealership where I purchased the vehicle, and they stated I needed a new steering rack. They asked for ~$1500 to replace the steering rack (I declined). I researched recalls on the 2011 Ford Fusion and found that there was a recall for steering failure. Unfortunately, my vehicle's VIN is not included in that recall.

While coming off the highway my hill start assist, advanced tract, and steering failed. I almost lost control of the car. Also, the linkage for the shifter keeps coming undone.

While driving and making a right hand turn, received "power steering assist fault" alarm and steering failed to a "manual" mode. The wheel was very difficult to turn. It is very possible that an accident would have happened had this occurred in traffic. Research has identified recalls on the 2011 and 2012 eps(electric/electronic power steering), but not the 2010 Fusion. My Fusion only has 96,000 miles on it. This will be a costly out of pocket repair for a system that has been proven to be a safety concern on other vehicles.

My vehicle was parked in front of my house (thank god) and when I started it, 3 alarms came on and I was not able to move the steering wheel. Had this happened while I was driving, I would most certainly been in an accident. The issue is the entire electronic steering system failed. Whole component needs to be replaced. Exactly one year to the day after the last electrical failure.

I stopped at turnpike rest stop. When I started the car, a "service power steering now" light was ulliminated (see attached image) and the steering was not working properly.

I checked my car's VIN online and no recalls are shown. However, my online research reveals that is a power steering recall (or similar warranty item) issued in 2015 (#15v340000). I see many, many reports of this same steering failure on 2012 Ford Fusion models with owners reporting a failure of Ford to cover the problem despite this being a known (and potentially dangerous) failure since at least 2015. What steps are being taken to require Ford to repair all affected vehicles? many complaints posted on this site allege the manufacture refused to repair the consumer's 2012 Fusion, despite the obvious known and widespread dangerous issue.
