Dear sirs, my vehicle suddenly showed "power steering assist fault" while I driving on the street. And steering column locked. I immediately slow down and pullover the roadside.

2011 Ford Fusion recall. I had the recall competed on my Ford Fusion for the steering gear. Within 6 months, my steering gear locked up again while I was driving on the interstate. Ford refuses to do another recall on this part. They said it is my responsibility to pay to have this done now since I have already completed one recall. They will not pay for 2 steering gear recalls. How is it my responsibility when apparently they didn't fix it right the first time.

The steering wheel has become hard to manuever and makes a noise especially on left turns. Problem is progressively getting worse.there is a current recall for this problem, and my Ford dealer refuses to cover the fix because it has over 100,000 miles.

I was never contacted about any recalls. My mother contacted me through email to see if I knew about the airbag recall. 2 recalls I only learned about today by checking my credit report because the Agency that holds the title reported my account for non-payment. I recieved a carfax report when I purchased the vehicle August 2017 from drivetime. I was told there were no recalls on the vehicle. Now, I am seeing 4 recalls, 2 of which (2014 & 2016) have appeared only now that the vehicle is being serviced. I was probably the only idiot in America that would have bought the high-mileage, over-priced vehicle in the 1st place. I was told it had been a fleet vehicle for a rental car Agency. I thought I was getting a safe vehicle. But my feeling now, is that it should have never been sold. I'm not sure what to do. The vehicle may get repossessed and I am feeling cheated. I sent the car to the 1st auto body shop and they wanted $1470 for all the repairs. I called Ford Motor Company, they told me the car could get repaired free of charge at an authorized Ford dealer. I had the car towed to the 2nd shop. The car has been at that dealership since February 1st. My estimate is about $260. I'm not sure what I'm expecting to happen, but I attached a photo of the fuel overflow hose leaking fuel even when the tank was not full. It would do this regularly and that is 1 of the 2 new recalls that appeared. I'm scared to drive this car. I just want some reliable answers and solutions before I shell out any further money on a car that has put me, my family and other people at risk. Please help. Thanks in advance.......
