Ford Fusion Steering Safety Report | Aug 04, 2013
Reported on Aug 04, 2013
| MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN THE POWER STEERING QUIT AND A WARNING DASH LIGHT TURNED ON. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE CAR WITHOUT POWER STEERING. SHE DROVE THE CAR TO A FRIENDS HOUSE AND CALLED ME. I TOLD HER TO COME HOME AND HAVE HER BOY FRIEND DRIVE THE CAR. WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED THE FAILURE CLEARED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE CAR DROVE FINE. AFTER THE DEALER INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR NEEDED A NEW RACK AND PINION AT A COST OF $2400. IF THE RACK AND PINION ARE BAD, WHY WOULD THE CODE CLEAR? SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING ON. *TR | |
