Electric power assist steering seized up and almost impossible to turn when at a stop, harder to turn than manual steering.

I was driving out of a gas station after filling my tires and as I was driving the power steering went out on the car and error messages came up on the dash. " service power steering now" then another one after that " advanctrac (forgot the rest). I took it to two car repair places and it says its a recall. I looked up the recall and it was exactly the same thing that was happening. I then called Ford main number and found out that my car was made in the same factory as the other cars being recalled but becasue mine was outside of the recall dates they can't do anything about it. My friend who works at a dealership ran a diagnostic scan and the alignment sensor in the steering column us running an error. I can't afford the cost of this fix. When what is happening is what's in the power steering recall.

Power steering makes a scraping noise when you turn the steering wheel. Sometimes it gets harder to turn and there are noises associated with it. It has happened to me while stationary and while driving when turning. I am afraid that power steering will fail on that car leaving me on the side of the road or even put me at risk for an accident.

Hit a deer and the air bag did not deploy. Moving at 45 mph sometimes on start up steering assist doesn't come on - parked today (05.29.19) advancetrac light came on and the car is making growling type noises.- driving parking lots and streets

- Cumming, GA, USA

The "service advancetrac" and "service power steering" warnings showed up while driving down the interstate but was able to maintain control. After turning off the car and turning it back on, the power steering warning changed to "service power steering now" and there was total loss of steering control. The car was taken to a Ford dealer and serviced under the recall 15V340000. Two weeks later, while driving down the same interstate highway, the two service warnings showed up again. Like the first time, after turning the car off and on, there was total loss of steering control. The car was taken back to the dealer for servicing but this time the car's computer apparently produced codes outside of the realm of the recall while still affecting the same system. The repair cost for the second visit was about $1,500. Car mileage is only 95000.

When I started my 2012 Ford Fusion as normal, the power steering didn't work and the warning lights "service advancetrac" and "service power steering now" appeared on my dash board. I have had the recall work done previously but apparently the problem was not properly addressed as I have the same issue occurring. Is there any recourse for owners of this vehicle other than paying ridiculous money to repair it myself, even though this is clearly a manufacturing error"!"
