On 5 november 2019 while traveling i-270 in maryland without prior warning my brake pedal went all the way to the floor, and the following warning lights came on: brake, abs, and traction control. This vehicle was extremely difficult to slow down or stop on the highway. This repair cost me $1335.53 and sounds very similar to the ford recall announced on december 19th involving 2006-2010 fusions. Mine is a 2011.

My car was 100% fine when i drove to work and 3 hours later when i was driving for lunch there was a message that there was a power steering assist fault. Thankfully i was not in a busy area because i could barely crank my wheel to turn. There is a recall for 2011 ford fusions but my vin was not included. Yet with no indicators my power steering does not work.

Driving on the highway when the power assist steering failure message and advance trac service message came on with an alarm. I pulled off the highway and discovered manual only steering and it was very very difficult to turn the wheel to pull into a parking lot and almost crashed. If i had to quickly swerve to avoid anyone i would have crashed. I had this vehicle serviced when i was notified of the 15s18 recall and…

The wrench light came up on my car. It says it's the throttle control transmission. The car gave no sign or warning about this car throttle. The code coming up is p2111. I believe there was a investigation going on with my situation a few years ago. Is this a recall or something that can be fixed because of a recall?

The power steering in my 2011 ford fusion has been going out periodically. When this happens, i have to wait for the opportunity to make a wide turn because it's very difficult to turn the wheel. There's been several occasions when i caused traffic jams or almost got rear ended since the car behind me didn't expect me to take so long to turn. A lot of times the power steering goes out when i'm stopped at a red…
