The power steering in my 2010 ford fusion has went out. This is a daily driver for my daughters commute to college. Trying to turn it is almost impossible and even more so when she is in the crowded city. There was a recall up to 2011-2017 on this issue and the 2010 needs to be included!! This is very dangerous

The steering rack is very loose and dangerous- there is a recall on the newer models with the same rack - this is way more dangerous than an air bag that"may" deploy - this is dangerous all the time .
