My vehicle has every problem that has been reported and recalled, however my vehicle isn't listed on the recall list. Could this be a mistake" Could my vehicle oddly have all the same engine coolant levels, advance trac, power steering, engine overheating issues, as the ones recalled but not actually been recalled"

I was traveling with my family and a light came on the dash. I pulled over to check my manual and it said it was a power steering fault. Once I started my car again the power steering was completely gone and I had to drive 10 hours back home with no power steering which was extremely hard for someone who has never driven a vehicle like that. I seen online there was a recall for 23 ford fusions but of course mine isn-??t on the list. I found 177 complaints on this and I don-??t understand why this is not a recall. If this had happened while driving I could have been seriously injured or killed or harmed another life. Please take that into consideration!

The steering locked up 2 times. Had I been driving when this happened it could have caused a serious accident. The problem has not been inspected by anyone at this time. I received a Steering Assist Malfunction message both times when starting my vehicle. After shutting the car off and waiting a little while and then starting the car back up the message is no longer there and the steering seems to be fine. But again if this happens when Im driving it, it could result in a serious accident.

2.when it came on this time it said -??Power steering assist fault-?? see manual then shut completely off on me. I cranked it back up and it ran for about 30 seconds and shut off again. I cranked it up again and the wrench illuminated and stayed on so I drove it home and parked it Sunday. Now I am bringing it in to you all. It seems to be some serious power/electric issues going on with this car.

Recall issued by Ford 15S14 stating "If the bolts corrode, the steering gear motor may detach from the gear housing resulting in a loss of power steering assist. Loss of power steering assist would require a higher steering effort, especially at lower speeds, which may increase the risk of a crash." This recall was performed July 8th 2015 at Twin Hills Ford dealership at approximately 30k miles. This exact same problem has happened again at approximately 60k miles and though talking with Ford they will not admit fault to a poorly designed steering motor with an identically poorly designed safety recall solution. This is a safety issue that I feel I should not have to pay upwards of 2500 to repair. Especially after the "solution to the safety hazard" has been performed. This issue puts others in danger and was not adequately resolved.

Went to turn the car on and the message "power steering assist fault" kept blinking on the dashboard. Luckily wasn't driving or this could have turned into an accident. Sat in the car for a couple minutes and turned the car off and on. Message didn't appear again, but I'm nervous to drive longer distances than the 6 mile trip from my place of work to my house. I've read that there is a recall on other fusions in the same year as mine. However, I don't know if the VIN is included. I think they need to 1.) send out a notice to all fusions of that year for a recall and 2.) include other VINs in this recall. I now am nervous about driving this car and I plan on having this looked at by a Ford Dealership promptly. Please get this addressed.

Drove my car to work just fine and my wife got in it to go home and power steering assist fault light came on looked it up and found out that are vin is not recalled looked up how to fix it and there was at least 200 people that has the same issues that-??s a lot more then the 23 recalls for that car

While driving, the vehicle flashed the "Service Power Steering" warning. After arriving at my next destination and restarting the vehicle, the alert changed to "Service Power Steering Now", and the power steering became completely unresponsive. According to the dealership, the power steering assist has failed and the entire rack and pinion assembly will need to be replaced, a roughly $2000 repair. After doing some research, this issue has resulted in recalls on other Fords, including Fusions, within the same year model, but not my specific VIN. And judging from the other feedback on NHTSA I'm not alone. It's quite apparent the recall needs to be expanded to include this model.

- Murfreesboro, TN, USA

Car was parked in the driveway and when started after 4 days, a message came "Active Power Steering Assist Fault". Steering became too hard to operate. This could have happened while driving and would have resulted in a collision. There are recalls for the same issue for 2013 Fusions but not my VIN. I think this recall should be expanded to include more VINs as I am reading similar complaints. Vehicle only has 72000 miles on it.

November 1, 2021 I noticed that all of a sudden the warning light for power steering came on. I managed to get the car to the house and now the steering is locked. I have no remedy. I have been nervous about the car every since. I need my car repaired. The warning should come before all out failure! That-??s not a warning it-??s an ambush!!

While driving on the interstate, the power steering on the car suddenly stopped working and has not come on since. This was a major issue as I was driving 80 mph on the interstate and had trouble steering after it gave out. After taking this to the Ford Dealership I was told that it would be a $3,100 fix. There were not any warning signs before this event and the car had been in perfect condition.
