I have a 2010 ford fusion with less than 80k miles on it. The power steering went out on this vehicle while my wife was driving with our 3 year old in the backseat. She was barely able to get it off the road, as well as return the vehicle home. This is extremely dangerous! The only warning light that turned on was the service power steering message and the service advancetrak message. I took the vehicle to my…

Door ajar light and sound comes on constantly while driving. Also when parked and the car is locked it consistently sets off the car alarm. I can't lock my doors anymore. Dealerships don't want to get involved in the expense or trouble of fixing. They lie and tell me it's fine. *tr

My power steering went out in march of 2016. I had to pay out of pocket because there was not a recall on the 2010's just the 2011 and 2012's. Well here it is, 2018 and my power steering went out again... I cant see myself paying another $1500 for something that is out of my control. Seems as if it happens while the car is sitting. I can recall driving and a light came across my dash. I didn't know what the light…
