My car continues to shimmy and sway when driving at speeds over 40 mph as if I need an alignment. I have changed the sway bar links, wheel bearings had an aligment and purchased new tires. Every thing done was recommended by jba glenburnie, where I purchased the car in April of 2019. I have taken it to Mr. Tire, Firestone and the dealer and no one can seem to tell me what this issue is. This vehicle is not safe with the issues I am having. The only other thing left to change is the upper and lower control arms but first I have to replace the fuel system. For some strange reason I dont think its in the suspension I beleive it is in the power steering componets of the vehicle. This really has me puzzled and I feel like im building a new car

2014 Ford Fusion all recalls have been done. While turning a slight corner steering wheel locked no power steering for a short distance, after finishing the corner steering wheel began to work again. I can not afford a $2000 dollar repair bill on something that is obviously a defective part. Recall this Ford before someone gets killed. 82,000 kms on car well maintained no other issues thus far?

On 12/12/2019 while backing downhill out of my driveway, several of my 2014 Ford Fusion hybrid's warning system alerts flashed on including: Power steering assist failure, advancedtrac failure and hill start assist failure. I immediately stopped the engine and consulted the owner's manual which advised restarting the engine after waiting at least 10 seconds. When the same series of alerts recurred, despite the lack of power steering I drove it to borgman Ford Mazda in grandville, Michigan. Today, I was informed that the problem was due to an electronic malfunction/failure within the power steering control module. I was also informed that "fix" would not be covered under any Ford motor warranty or recall and that the estimated cost of repair was $2200! contacting Ford motors' customer service directly proved fruitless since my wife was told that Ford motors was unable/unwilling to offer any financial assistance but but they did strongly "suggest" that we have the repair completed but to "save our receipts" just in case at some future time a recall for this specific problem was issued. Odometer mileage- 39700. *** this vehicle was affected and serviced for safety recall notice 18S08 / NHTSA recall 18V-167 (steering wheel attachment bolt replacement) which was performed on 7/24/2018.
While driving home from work I lost all power steering components of my car. Power steering assist fault, hillside assist fault, & service required came up on dash. 72K this happened at.

Its been 3 years since I have had my car and I have not been notified by Ford that I have a recall. Not by phone, email, or even in person. The only reason I know I have three is because of my family member who notified me. I have called multiple Ford dealerships to complain and get it fixed but they don't seem to want to help. Every time I go or call they take my number and that is it. So I just keep going trusting they will call me back. And this week my car starts to have troubles and my transmission hard shifts into second gear and I damage the front and bumper of my car. I took it to my local mechanic and he says the problem comes from the recalled part. And now my car is parked until I can get it fixed and I have called Ford and they wont help.
Driving car and "power steering failure" notification came up on the console. Immediately was very difficult to turn steering wheel. Struggled to get the car home and off the road. Searched the issue and saw a recall for 2010-2013 vehicles at similar mileage point.
The power steering of the car does not work ! I was coming down a mountain and I finally got home parked my car. When I came back to get in the power steering was lost! I could've been seriously injured if the power steering would've been lost while driving. I see this recall in these cars recently

Power steering control module is malfunctioning. This is causing my steering to act on it's own. The car at times will try to turn on it's own, other times it tries to counter steer while going around bends. The faster you go the worse it gets.
