Was on my way to pick up my son from school, traction light came on, got the car turned into school, everything was ok. Traction light went off from leaving the school, came back on when we came to a stop light, then the power steering assistant came on, 'service soon'. got home and was going back to work, couldn't turn steering wheel. I just parked the car. Only drove about 5 miles before it locked up. Luckily I live less than a mile from work. Seen that many people have had this problem, don't know if this the first time this has happened to this car, since I bought it used. Think my Ford company sold me a lemon. Boo on their part. Ford service department said it would cost $1800-$2500 depending if I buy used or new.

October 12,2018 as I'm leaving home around 6:45 am to drop my daughter off at daycare and head to work. The service light comes on for the power steering. The steering wheel is molding hard to turn but not bad enough where I was struggling much. I made it to work as I live about 15away from my daughters daycare. Around 4:50pm est I clocked and tried to leave from work to head home and I could not turn the steering wheel at all. Did some research and found out it's electrical so there's no way for me to just add powering steering fluid. My mechanic was under the impression that all I had to do was purchase a pump. Called Ford and was informed that there is no pump and it's something electrical and you have to take it to Ford for a diagnostic. A lot of people are having this problem and I feel this should be a recall. I saw something online that it is recalled for my specific car but based off my VIN # there is no recall for my vehicle which I find crazy and misleading.

Sept 23.on a street while driving the power steering service light came on.the service instrak.light came on.the steering became very very hard to turn. Parked and found no fluid because this car has electronic steering. Sept 24.it was taken to the Ford dealer to get this checked. I found the NHTSA recall 15V340000 and wanted Ford to honor this recall. I put in a case with Ford which they denied 4 days later. Meanwhile my car was in the dealer waiting for approval. I had to get a rental car. The dealer advocated for me but was not successful with Ford Motor Company. I had to pay for the repair paid the dealer $1200 Sept 29th 6 days later....then 1 week later Oct 6, the same thing happened steering froze up on a street and I had the car towed to my dealer.. they then gave me a loaner.. the car was cleared of codes and I picked it up Oct 9. I dont feel confident this issue is resolved and feel Ford Motor Company needs to honor the recall Ford recall 15S18. NHTSA recall 15V340000. Ford case #cas15880910. Thank you for your help

At 119,889 miles on 6/26/2018, I took a Ford Fusion to the dealer after the power steering went out. I was driving the vehicle when a warning flashed across the display that the power steering needed to be serviced immediately, however the power steering was working fine until I turned the engine off. After restarting the engine, the power steering would not function. I took the Ford Fusion to the dealer and the steering gear was replaced and the power steering control module was reprogrammed at no charge. The power steering worked for about 3 months. Once again, while driving the vehicle, a warning to service the power steering immediately flashed across the display, although the power steering still functioned until I turned the engine off. Upon restarting the car, the power steering did not function. On 9/22/2018 and at 124,591 miles, I returned the Ford Fusion to the dealer. I was charged $134.95 for diagnostics and given an estimate of $1057.58 to replace the lower control arms and perform an alignment to fix the power steering. The dealer said the bearings had worn out since 9/22/2018, and that the code to fix the power steering was a hard code and the power steering control module could not be reset to fix the issue. The dealer said the bearings were warn out, creating friction in the steering, leading to the power steering control module to shut down the power steering. The dealer said the only fix for the power steering was to replace the lower control arms that included the bearings, then reset the power steering control module.

When driving my 2012 Ford Fusion sel AWD, the power steering will (at random) cease to function and causes extreme difficulty in steering. It is nearly impossible to pull over safely. At speed this is an extremely dangerous and terrifying event. The lights for the traction control system, the power steering system, and occasionally the advance trac system come on. It is not always all of the lights all of the time, and the errors vary. I have had it looked at and the codes read, and the problem persists. I need this fixed as I have two small children that I refuse to allow to ride in the car as I'm afraid for their safety. It strands me at random at work and at school an hour from home as well. Upon cranking the lights for power steering failures come on and I have to sit and wait on a ride. This is unacceptable. Someone needs to fix this problem as every time I have called multiple Ford dealerships, they give me a runaround explaining there is no recall for this issue. This is unacceptable because the internet is rife with posters have the same exact issues I am having and are having no assistance either from Ford. Please help us with this problem, as I cannot afford to purchase a new car after this one has drained me of my resources.

Car lost all steering and pulled to the left with a warning light illuminated stating service power steering now. Ford replaced a steering gear that was supposed to be a recall less than 30 days and 300 miles later it happened again with the wife driving 70mph on the highway. This car is a danger to drive and is going to cause deaths. Ford is now wanting to charge me for the repair.

My vehicles steering gear was recalled and replaced in January of 2016. The part that was put in to rectify the recall was part #ae5Z-3504-de. This repair was done at ourisman world of Ford in alexandria, va 22303. This part failed on septekmber 5, 2018 and had to be towed to the dealer and replaced again. Oursiman charged us for the second repair. Shouldn't this be covered under the recall still, or at least be recalled again? the car would barely steer and had to be parked on the street until it could be towed.

My 69 year old mother was driving the 2012 Ford Fusion when she lost steering control and nearly had an accident. It took all her strength to wrestle the steering wheel to the side of the road. I contacted the local Ford dealership and was told I would have to pay to have it repaired even though there was a recall due to that exact problem with steering. The car was not cornered because the mileage was 153000. Three years past the limit of the recall. I was also advised the fix could be about. $2000. I can not afford this but I still need to drive to work so I must drive it knowing it could go out again. There was no warning light or anything the powered steering just stopped working.
