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 FUSIONS OF THE SAME TIMEFRAME ARE COVERED. I LOST AND REGAINED CONTROL OF STEERING FOR SOME TIME UNTIL IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE INFORMING ME OF A RECALL ON MY POWER STEERING SYSTEM VIA MAIL. I TOOK MY CAR TO FORD AND THEY CLAIMED TO "RESET" THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. A YEAR LATER I WAS DRIVING HOME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN I SMELLED SOMETHING SIMILAR TO "BURNING RUBBER" COMING THROUGH MY AIR VENTS. SMOKE THEN BEGAN TO COME FROM THE HOOD OF MY CAR AS IT SLOWED DOWN ON ITS OWN. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER INTO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT AND WALKED A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY AFTER SEEING A TROUBLING AMOUNT OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD. I TOOK MY CAR TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP TO FIND THAT THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM HAD SHUT DOWN AND CAUSED MY ALTERNATOR TO FAIL. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO FORD. THEY TOLD ME THAT ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR, FORD WAS REFUSING TO PAY FOR IT BECAUSE OF HOW OLD THE CAR WAS. MY CAR IS A 2012 FORD FUSION AND IT IS INCLUDED IN THE RANGE OF CARS ELIGIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT. THEY ALSO FAILED TO GIVE ME THIS INFORMATION THE YEAR BEFORE.
