Ford Fusion Steering Safety Report | Mar 11, 2014
Reported on Mar 11, 2014
| I NOTICED A SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT COME ON. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND UPON RESTARTING IT I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO POWER STEERTING. LUCKILY I WAS NO LONGER DRIVING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND A DANGEROUS SAFETY DEFECT IN EQUIPMENT. I WOULD NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON A TWO YEAR OLD VEHICLE. I LEARNED SERVERAL COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE ABOUT THIS DEFECT WITH SIMILAR DANGERS. I'M WONDERING WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM? AM I FIXING THE PROBLEM USING THE SAME TYPE OF PARTS I HAD? WITH NO CHANGE THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN IN A TWO YEAR PERIOD. THIS IS NOT A SMALL OR INEXPENSIVE MECHANICAL JOB. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND LOOKING INTO THIS SITUATION FOR RECALL. WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR A RECALL TO BE GRANTED....A FATALITY... I HOPE NOT. | |
