2014 Ford Fusion titanium power steering failure at only 34,000 miles. Power steering failed while vehicle was in motion. Several warning lights came on: Service advance track, power steering fault, lane keeping assist fault. Regained power steering after restarting car but this happened three times in three days so I took it to dealer for repair. Required replacement of entire power steering rack and realignment. Total cost to me was $2200. I have notified Ford customer service of the issue, but of course, no action was taken yet. This is a major safety issue as the car was almost impossible to steer, especially at lower speeds. Based on what I have read from other consumers on the internet, this is not an isolated incident for this model year even though a recall has not yet been issued.

I was able to force the wheel to turn at the next stop light using quite abit of force and was able to park the vehicle to have it towed away. The vehicle only had 47K miles and we only drove it about 4K miles locally within the last year. All maintence was kept up and no other issues until now. Dealer quoted $2K for repair.

- Jackson Heights, NY, USA

While driving my 2014 Ford Fusion on the freeway two warnings popped up onto my screen saying, power assist steering failure and hill climb assist failure, which resulted in a failure of my power steering which left it very difficult for me to control the vehicle and avoid any injury to myself or others. After having to drive it to the Ford dealership in this condition, I am told that they cannot help me out since there is no direct recall under my VIN number to match this car although there are multiple steering recalls on top of the class action lawsuit opened for this exact claim I am having. I have been passed back and forth from their management to customer service with no care or sympathy whatsoever for something that could have resulted in death or injury of myself or anyone else on the road at the time. I have only had the car for a year and it is at 91,000 miles so it has surpassed its warranty on miles and I have no coverage for the repairs whatsoever.
