This is a common issue in 2010 fusions as you can find lots of similar experiences. While heading towards an exit on the highway going 70mph, the steering suddenly lost all power steering. Two warnings appeared on the display saying "service advancetrac" and "power steer assist failure." everything returns to normal after restarting the car and it happens once again at random.

Service power steering light came on as i was driving home. The next morning i turned on the car and it said service power steering now. Have seen that i am one of the many people having this issue. Should be recalled and fixed not just the 2011 which is just one year newer.

I took my car to sheehy ford of marlow heights for the airbag recall repair. Upon picking the car up after it was "fixed", there are now 3 lights on my dash that were not previously there. These lights are the airbag light, the stability control light, and the service wrench. The dealership will not cooperate as far as fixing this.
