- Laramie, WY, USA

My 2010 Ford Fusion sel has lost all power steering due to a failure in the electronic rack and pinion. I started my vehicle and received two warnings on the information screen in the cluster: Power steering assist fault, and service advancetrac. I've done research and have been to multiple Ford dealerships, and have been told there is nothing they can do other than charge me over two thousand dollars to have my vehicle fixed. Yet, the 2011 and 2012 model years had a full recall of the part at no cost. This is unacceptable on Ford's behalf and extremely unsafe due to the fact that with the power steering being out, the stability control is also disabled. Yes, my vehicle is drive-able but it is definitely not safe and extremely difficult to maneuver at slower speeds. It's an accident and lawsuit waiting to happen, and I do not want to be the unfortunate one to go through such a thing. This needs to be recalled as soon as possible, before any lives are lost or preventable accidents occur.

Service power steering light came on as I was driving home. The next morning I turned on the car and it said service power steering now. Have seen that I am one of the many people having this issue. Should be recalled and fixed not just the 2011 which is just one year newer.

The steering when you make a left or right turn it will not come back to allow you to go strait and become very still and unable to go forward.

The power steering in my 2010 Ford Fusion has went out. This is a daily driver for my daughters commute to college. Trying to turn it is almost impossible and even more so when she is in the crowded city. There was a recall up to 2011-2017 on this issue and the 2010 needs to be included!! this is very dangerous

- Scranton, AR, USA

Car was parked. Turn the car on and no power steering. Sudden failure. Told to I have to get a new rack and pinion which is over $2000. The power steering came back on after the battery was unplugged over night. Same parts as the recalled 2011 Ford Fusion. Now I am scared to drive this car and the repairs are almost more than the car is worth. 88K miles on

- Dewey, OK, USA

Power steering assist fault came on and I lost power steering. Fortunately I was in my driveway and not on the interstate.

- Slidell, LA, USA

The power steering assist fault, that is currently on recall for 2011 and up, is the same exact thing that is happening to my 2010. I need the 2010 to be reevaluated and added to that recall. I did nothing to cause the power steering to go out, this is 100% on Ford. They need to fix the issue. I have no power steering and if I were to ever wreck due to this issue, I will involve lawyers and get the Ford name involved. 2010 needs to be added to the recall!!!!!! I am not the only 2010 with this same issue. If its happening to thousands of 2010's, it is a Ford recall issue. Not car owner issue. I need this problem fixed now.

Power steering assist malfunctioned and won't come back on.

- Murrieta, CA, USA

In December of 2018 while car was in motion; the power steering went out and we received the advanctrac / service power steering now message. It was diagnosed that the rack and pinion needed replaced so we replaced the rack and pinion. In Oct; the power steering went out again while driving and after diagnosis; we had the rack and pinion changed again. In Nov.; the power steering went out again while driving. This time the mechanic accidentally left his scanner on the car over the weekend and it drained the battery. When the mechanic charged the system and started the car; the message "service power steering now" was gone and the power steering was back. In Dec. The power steering went out again while driving. We once again had the rack and pinion changed. Now it is January 24th and the power steering is gone again. Each time; the driver of this vehicle has been lucky because it has happened at low speeds. If this happened while going around a curve greater than 45 degrees; this driver would not have been able to control the car. Now all we want to do is get rid of the car; unfortunately, we cannot keep the power steering from going out and I will not pass this issue on to someone else.

- Centralia, IL, USA

The power steering completely went out while driving which almost caused me to wreck. At first, turning the car off and restarting it would fix the problem. Now it is completely out and is almost impossible to safely drive. I understand the 2011 model Ford Fusion also had this issue, which was recalled. The 2010 Ford Fusion also need to be recalled. It is not safe to our children or anyone else to ride in the 2010 Ford Fusion when the power steering just randomly goes out.

- Caryville, TN, USA

Power steering assist failure message appeared in gauge console and power steering went out while driving. The issue was not isolated to driving any speed as it would go out at high and low speeds as well as when attempting to pull in or back out of a parking spot. For awhile it would clear by pulling over and powering car off then back on. The message now stays on always and steering car is vey difficult. Now it also says an issue with advancetrack as well. My mechanic has told me I need new rack and pinion, tie rods, and an alignment to fix issue. I see an open investigation and that this is a common problem with many other 2010 Ford Fusion owners so I wanted to add my voice to this issue as well.
