When filling gas tank yesterday once full gas leaked from under the wheel well onto the tires. The car was parked at a gas station. I was asked to move the car away from the pump by the gas attendant.

I purchased my husband a 2009 Mercury Mariner very recently Friday December 12/21/18 took delivery of vehicle, had it shipped up from sewell Audi, sugar land, TX. My husband drove the vehicle the day of delivery, we took it out for dinner @ a local food chain, no issues. Saturday morning, I took the vehicle out on a christmas shopping errand in the morning. The Mariner drove fine and it is or seemed like a nice little SUV. I was negotiating a turn into a super target @ 144th & I-25 basically the power steering quit working immediatley. I nearly couldn't make it into the parking lot out of on coming traffic. I called my husband he drove up inspected under the hood it was then he noticed no power steering pump no power steering reservoir, must be electric. I got in the vehicle he came up in and followed him in the Mercury Mariner premier. He works a physically demanding job union journeyman electrician / construction & was barely able to turn and drive the vehicle to my grand daughter which lives a few miles away. The long story short I wonder what would have occurred @ highway speeds on I-25. I think Chevrolet had a ignition key problem which occurred which resulted in some deaths especially to some female drivers, basically if you lack the physical ability to drive a auto with out power steering something could really go wrong really quick. Please help just shelled out money for the vehicle, money for shipment, & now from my recent research a very costly repair as extensive as replacing the steering column, shame on the dealer that sold us the auto and we have always driven fomoco vehicles, but shame on them their uh OH could have resulted in death or injury to who ever would have driven the vehicle. I have a zip drive on the vehicle how may I physically get a copy of this info, to you?.

I drove into a parking lot and all of a sudden I could not steer the vehicle. It was like having 4 flat tires at once. No warning signals from the dashboard. After turning the vehicle off and restarting later I could steer it home. On the following Monday the 25th of November, I took it to a local mechanic I know and he decoded a power steering sensor malfunction. The whole steering column had to be dismantled to put in the new electric power steering pump. What happens if these units go out when you are doing 70 mph on the interstate? my cost was $1262. 43 I will never buy a Ford product again.

I had the power steering pump and rack replaced at separate times during the warranty period on my 2006 Mercury Mariner. This was between January 2008 and December 2008. Now they are failing once again. Should there be a recall on these items?.
