Description of the problem | My 2010 ford fusion lost all electronic power steering while driving 45 on the highway with my 12 yr old and 1 month old in the vehicle. While driving my steering seized up and i had to use all extra force to turn off the highway. Thank god traffic was easy and i was able to get off the road. The dash board lights came on saying tire pressure low, service power steering and advanced trac warning. Many complaints have been made about the 2010 ford fusion. However a recall has only been issued for the 2011-2012 model for the same exact issue that many people are having with the 2010 as well. This is a serious matter. It can be very dangerous not only to us as the drivers but everyone on the road. Very unsafe! Hopefully a recall is given for the 2010 models as well, being that it is the same exact issue for a year later and above. |
