My 2011 Ford Fusion lost power steering and became very difficult to control. The warning light displayed today while in motion. After stopping the vehicle and restarting the vehicle became very difficult to turn. My wife uses this vehicle to drive my son to and from school and now she will never feel comfortable or safe after this issue and reading all the previous complaints. This is a big issue and a recall needs to be issued. Ford needs to fix this issue and restore peoples trust. Our Fusion currently has approximately 48,000 miles.

I started my vehicle and let it warm up a couple of minutes before I left my job on cold night. When I backed out of my spot and went forward my service power steering message came on and then service advanced track came on. When I stopped at the light to turn I noticed that I had no power steering. I seen online that there was a recall for this issue. I called my local dealership and was informed my vehicle was not listed in this recall. I then called Ford Motor Co. And neither party could tell me why my vehicle was not listed in this recall when it was indeed a 2011 Ford Fusion without a 3.5 and had the steering issue as described in the recall. Not having power steering all at once with no prior warning can be a very dangerous thing. Luckily in my case it was not a busy intersection at that time. I don't understand why mine or other vehicles with the same issue and possibly the same part is failing yet not covered under Ford recall 15S18.
