The power steering went out. Got a 'service power steering' warning on dashboard, also 'service advancetrac' warning. Turned car off, then back on, still a problem. Disconnected and reconnected battery, still a problem. This happened while driving on the highway. I had my 5 year old in the car going for ice cream. Steering seemed to work ok until I got to the drive thru at dairy queen. After ordering, making the turn around the building the power steering was gone. Had to wrench the steering wheel to get into a parking spot.

I was driving from jasper, tx to georgetown, tx. When the service power steering now light came on. There were also two other warnings that came on including remove all items from front passenger's seat, but I don't remember the other. I tried to return to jasper but the car became too hard to steer and I stopped in bryan, tx. I believe there was a previous recall on this car but at the time my car was disabled for other reasons. I called Ford about this problem and they said they would call my dealership, but the dealer indicated that they had never been called. I am currently at a hotel in bryan without my brother's or my own medication. I cannot contact Ford until tomorrow which will mean two days without medication. This is an emergency situation. Please help.

Around one out of every five drives, my power steering would fail soon after starting the engine. 2 error messages pop up: - power steering fault assist - service advancetrac once restarting the car, the problem usually clears. If it persists, I will switch off and restart the car and it usually clears and does not come up till the next day or a later drive. It seems to be a common problem among many Fusion owners.

Ford issued a recall on the power steering assist on my car. I took the car for servicing to Ford. I was informed that the repair would not be made unless the steering went out. Also, I was told the steering system had to fail before 160,000 miles. Later the power steering fault light came on at 161,000 miles. Wow!. unacceptable that Ford will not repair this vehicle under the recall notice.

While driving the dash had a power steering assist fault in amber on dash and I had no power steering. I got car stopped, cut car off and started car and the message was gone. This has happened on several occasions. The other day when I started the car the message popped back up. I tried to turn steering wheel but it was very difficult. I cut car off and re-started and fault was gone. I see that this is a problem that tons of cars are having. Some have recalls while others don't but they should all be recalled. I have a daughter driving this car and it scares me for her to drive it. I believe their is enough complaints being filed that it justifies a recall to fix all the cars. The last time this happened was 09 Sep 17. It has happened about a dozen times. It has been going on over a year....
