The power steering failed while driving this vehicle. Our local Ford dealer said that recall expired a month ago. I called Ford customer service to get more information. I was told that recall #15S18 was repaired on July 29, 2015. Ford would not pay for repair unless a second safety recall was issued on the faulty repair completed. The repair only lasted 6 years and there is only 107000 on this vehicle.

FOLLOWING AN ABS BRAKE EVENT, MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOTED TO SINK SLOWLY TO THE FLOOR WHEN BRAKING. NO FLUID WAS LOST. I READ THE RECALL NOTICE DETAILS FOR THE HCU ON AN 2010 FUSION (19S54). FROM THIS, I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT IF I BRAKED ON GRAVEL, I COULD CAUSE THE ABS TO ACTIVATE AND CORRECT THE ISSUE. THAT WORKED GREAT FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, BUT WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR, THE SINKING PEDAL ISSUE RESUMED. SHE IS NOT AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER. I'D LIKE TO TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. I SEE THE INVESTIGATION 19S54 INCLUDED 2006 TO 2012 MODELS; HOWEVER, THE RECALL FOR SOME REASON ONLY COVERS TO 2010. WHAT'S UP? CAN I GO GET MY CAR FIXED? OR DO I NEED TO WAIT UNTIL MY DAUGHTER HAS AN ACCIDENT?

MY CAR WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE WOULD MAKE A CLUNKING NOISE AND LUNGE FORWARD, ALSO WHEN UP SHIFTING AND DOWN SHIFTING IT WOULD BE HARSH AND CLUNK. I TOOK IT THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A REBUILT TRANSMISSION PUT IN AT A PRICE OF $5490, BECAUSE THE ONE IN IT HAD TO MANY PROBLEMS AND WOULD COST MORE TO FIX THEN THE REBUILT ONE, SO THAT'S WHAT I DID THE CAR ONLY HAD 71438 MILES ON IT.

WHEN TRYING TO START VEHICLE, POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE NOTIFICATION COMES ON AND POWER STEERING IS DISABLED. CAR MUST MUST BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED TO TURN OFF NOTIFICATION AND ENABLE POWER STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ALREADY. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE FOR THE 2011 FORD FUSION BUT NOT FOR MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER. THE RECALL NUMBERIS 1518. THE DATE NOTED IN REPORT, NOVEMBER 15, 2019 WAS THE LATEST INCIDENT. IT HAPPENED TWICE THAT DAY.

I PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY, PARKED 2011 FORD FUSION AND THEN SHUT VEHICLE OFF. I RETURNED, STARTED VEHICLE, WENT TO START DRIVING MY VEHICLE OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR STARTED BEEPING AND LISTED THAT THE POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK. I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR STEERING: ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM FAILURE (15V340000 OR 15S18). I TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WILL ATTACH QUOTE WHICH THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS EXACTLY WHAT FORD'S RECOMMENDATION WAS. HOWEVER MY CAR DOESN'T FALL INTO THE CORRECT DATE FOR THIS RECALL, I AM HAPPY THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING 75MPH DOWN INSTERSTATE 70 IN WHEELING, WV OR DRIVING UP TO WEST LIBERTY, WV WHERE I WORK. EITHER COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT FOR ME, MY KIDS AND POTENTIALLY OTHER VEHICLES INVOLVED. THE CAR HAS ONLY 73,000 MILES ON IT ROUGHLY AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
