“As I was driving to the store the power steering service light came on and the service advance trac and it become hard to steer.. So now its parked because dealership said it would cost $1500 to fix which I don't have .. After research most models just 2011 and up have this recall. I think 2010 should also be a recall their are several complaints about it”
NHTSA complaint #11003274, filed 2017-07, 142,300 miles“While on travel, I went to start my car and got a warning message that the power steering needed to be serviced. There was no earlier indication (noise, periodic failure, etc.) that power steering was on the way out. Thankfully I was not driving at the time. Online research revealed a recall for nearly all later models 2011-2015, but not mine for the exact same issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10906887, filed 2016-09, 83,000 miles“While pulling out emerging on the highway traffic going approximately 25 MPH, I felt a slight shutter in the cars service advancetrac warning light came on. This issue occurred at approximately 25,000 miles as well but the problem cleared itself after a few days in the Ford dealership could not find an error code. We tried turning off and restarting the car as well as using the advance trac button but it doesn't work.”
NHTSA complaint #10609606, filed 2014-07, 38,210 miles“While driving on the highway schedule steering service came up on the dashboard. Just after pulling over the power steering failed and I could not control the steering as it was suddenly extremely difficult to turn the steering wheel. This is an extremely dangerous situation which apparently both Ford and the safety board are aware of. Why on earth would the 2011 models be recalled for this identical problem, but not the 2010 models with the same part. My family could have been killed- would that have triggered a recall ?”
NHTSA complaint #11299910, filed 2020-01, 153,307 miles“I got a slow flat while driving my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid, which engaged the low tire pressure warning on the in-dash message center. Soon after that notification appeared the service power steering now (in red text, so definitely not good) and service advancetrac (in yellow) messages followed. I pulled into a gas station to check the tire, and upon restarting the car realized I now had no power steering. After changing the tire the messages remained and power steering was still gone. …”
