Power steering service now light came on driving away from my neighborhood and started making a loud noise on right front wheel of car, pulled over to see if I had a flat and did not. Turned around and went back home so I wouldn-??t get stuck somewhere or wreck. While driving to the shop to get it looked at the power steering failed and could barely turn the wheel. This could have resulted in a wreck. The shop confirmed the power steering is out on the car again! Power steering sensor was recently replaced after wreck therefore it shouldn-??t be going out a month later.

The power steering control module (pscm) failed on my vehicle. This resulted in immediate loss of power steering while driving and, in turn, caused extreme difficulty turning and moderate difficulty maintaining a straight line. According to Ford, the entire steering gear needs to be replaced because the pscm is integral to the steering gear. Reference existing recall#15V340000 for this model and year with the exact same components, but not inclusive of my VIN.

I was about to make a uturn when my steering wheel froze up on me. Scary and dangerous. I had to make a left instead of the uturn thank god I was able to get out of the way I turned the car off and started it again. Few minutes later I went to the bank and park in a parking space, went back to my car to leave and my steering wheel was locked up. Had to get a tow home. Said power steering assist fault

Power steering just died while I was on highway almost lost control and service power steering came on funny thing is it should be recalled it is horrible.

Power steering went while parking car. Ford said steering recall not applicable to this VIN because it was built in a different plant. This is a safety hazard, if the steering went out at a higher speed it could have caused an accident. All 2012 Ford Fusion should be included in the recall because they all received the same power steering components regardless of which plant they were built in.

I was pulling out from my parking spot (parallel parked) when all of a sudden the steering wheel jerked out of my hands and the electric power assist light popped on. I was on a side street beginning to accelerate after pulling out into traffic. Had I been going faster, it easily could have created a wreck. When the wheel jerked, I slammed my brakes on. I turned the vehicle off then on, and the light popped off. I re-parked it because I was afraid to drive it, and before re-parking, the light was back on. I found this is a common problem and looked on line (Ford recall #15S18, NHTSA #15V340000). When I contacted the dealership to schedule repair, I was told that my VIN was outside of the recall range, even though it did indeed fail the same way these others failed. Because it was outside of the range, I would be financially responsible for this known design failure that resulted in a near miss accident. I've not taken it in for repair yet, hoping this recall is widened to the appropriate range for the same failure. I understand it's costly, but finding out this problem was a known problem that they didn't properly identify points of containment made me angry.

There is currently a recall for the part I had to replace for $3000 under code 15S18, but for some reason, my vehicle was not covered under this recall though it is the exact problem described in the recall and other Ford Fusion of the same timeframe are covered. I lost and regained control of steering for some time until it eventually stopped working altogether.

Driving in town when steering went out. Took vehicle to Ford was told to replace steering unit. Also told there was a recall on Fusion but not all. Also told they extended warranty to 150,000 miles. Mine has 170,000. They refused any help. I am thinking they have a problem that's needs to be addressed

My car just dies while I'm driving. Are there recalls I haven't been notified about that could be causing this? if so, how do I get it repaired in the most expeditious manner. I only have the one car and it is pretty unsafe at this point.
