The electric assist steering failure warning comes on and the vehicle is very difficult to steer. Would be a serious hazard if it happens while underway. Intermittent problem.

The electric assist steering fault comes on when starting the car. This occurs intermittently. The car would be extremely hard to steer with this failure. A recall has been initiated by Ford but this vehicle is not included. Why not?

My vehicle is giving a "power steering assist default" warning light on the instrument panel, at the same time the wheel locks up and I am not able to move the steering wheel at all. Driving the car or moving the car in any direction does not unlock the wheel and the warning light on the panel does not go away. This has happened 5-8 times in the last two weeks. The vehicle did get the power steering failure recall fixed 9/15/15 at rich Ford. The vehicle began to give this instrument panel warning and the wheel locks up two weeks ago. The warning would occur and the steering wheel would lock when I attempted to place the vehicle in reverse or drive. It would not go away unless I turned the car on and off multiple times.

I was driving with my three children in the car going into a right hand turn at about 35-40 mph and my power steering failed and sent me into oncoming traffic. Luckily the car saw me and swerved to avoid the collision. I stopped the car, turned it off and back on and the power steering was fine. However, it happened again and now the power steering will not work at all and Ford is saying there is no recall on this obvious safety issue with their vehicle.

I filed a previous complaint on this vehicle. I looked into a forum and discovered this particular model has had previous incidents like mine before. I am concerned there had not been a recall for this reason. The power steering going out while driving is dangerous. I am very concerned that it will take a tragedy for a recall to take place.

- Grand Prairie, TX, USA

I was driving the service power steering light came on, then I had no power steering. It was scary. I had my two girls in the car and I was trying to turn into a parking lot without having a wreck. I had no control of the vehicle. I made it, notre I'm currently sitting here waiting in a tow truck. I have tried to restart my car several times. I can't go anywhere. I'm anticipating the cost is more than a single mom can afford. I am thankful my children and I were not hurt. There was no warning at all!

Over the past 4 months my 2011 Ford Fusion started losing the ability to steer my car. It always seems to happen when I am driving under 15mph and turning. This is really getting out of control and unsafe for myself and anyone I am driving around. The first time this happened I was inches away from hitting a little girl and her grandmother as I was turning to park my car at the mall when I suddenly lost control of the car. This has happened at least 15 times since that day and just yesterday I was making a turn onto a rather large street when this happened again. Thank god other cars were able to avoid me as I went into on coming traffic. The car ended up in the ditch. This is becoming very dangerous and I can't do anything about it because Ford says my car was built a few weeks too early and is not covered in the recent recall they did. My car is effected 100% as those cars included by they refuse to repair mine. Something has to be done about this for the sake of everyones safety. I know I am not alone in this, and I would hate to see someone get hurt before they take these complaints serious.
