The power steering pump completely shuts down and throws a Power Steering Fault Error. When this happens, the car is moved as safe as possible to a safe location, turned off and restarted and the error clears. When the error displays, all power steering is shut off. There is no warning, it operates fine after restart, I have not noticed any correlation as to when it happens, but when it happens, it leaves you in a dangerous position. The dealer has not reproduced the issue, but has heard reports of the issue. I have not been able to reproduce reliably either.

- Charlotte, NC, USA

The vehicle lost power steering. Restarting vehicle shows a "power steering assist fault" message. Looking into this fault, I found Safety Recall 15S18, for later year vehicles. This seems to be what I experienced. I have not had it towed to a dealer for diagnosis or repair yet, as the cost for repair seems to exceed the value of the car.

- Saint Louis, MO, USA

Loss of power steering; and is available for inspection. Stopped working mid drive; confirmed with code U3000. Not inspected by Ford nor will dealership fix because of no recall. While driving dashboard gave service Advance Trac. The same issue the 2011 and 2012 Fusions had a recall for but the 2010 have the same issue and Ford wont recall. (Found that a fault in the programing caused a false negative shutting off power steering) 1579 complaints but Ford wont recall 2010's. Customers have had steering rack replaced only for the issue to come back; Ford discovered a flaw in the programing. Ive had the codes cleared and it drives fine for 160 or so miles then fails (3times). 2011/2012 recall had the new program uploaded to correct issue ;why not 2010? 2010 has same exact issue even the miles at (total) when failure happens is in line with 2011/2012

The steering rack and pinion has failed the message Service power steering now has accumulated it wasn-??t there before I-??ve had the car for a lil over a year and have had no problems the other day I pulled in at a gas station and lost all control to steering my vehicle

- Sacramento, CA, USA

The Power steering pump is electrical which makes it more expensive and a higher chance of being at risk on the road because the steering wheel can stop working while you-??re driving!!! It costs over $2,000 to fix and instead of having a recall for it you continue to keep putting consumers in danger! It starts off with replacing a battery then all of a sudden something is wrong with the electrical wiring, either recall it or put Ford out of business
