TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V001000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT CALLED SHEEHY FORD OF WARRENTON (6443 LEE HWY, WARRENTON, VA 20187) SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THEY HAD NOT RETURNED HIS TELEPHONE CALLS. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE IF PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO COMPLETE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION SE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK LEAKED FUEL UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE A QUARTER TANK OF FUEL OVERNIGHT AFTER REFUELING. THERE WAS NO WARNING, EXCEPT THAT THE CONTACT SMELLED FUEL CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE THERE WAS NO LEAK DETECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN DIAGNOSED AT RIVERSIDE AUTOPLEX OF POTEAU DEALER (918-647-2228, LOCATED AT 2100 S BROADWAY ST, POTEAU, OK 74953) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS DEFECTIVE AND CAUSED THE LEAK. THE DEALER INFORMED THAT ON 08/2018 THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V793000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT REQUIRE THE RECALL REMEDY PERFORMED AND THE RECALL WAS CLOSED UNDER THE VIN. THE DEALER REQUESTED THE RECALL BE REOPENED AGAIN TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS ON THE VEHICLE BUT THE REQUEST WAS DENIED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE (CPV) AND THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY NOT BEING DRIVEN DUE TO TH

ON 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS I HAVE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN RAPID ACCELERATION WITH MY AUTO. FIRST WHILE SLOWLY ACCELERATING FROM A PARKING SPOT IN A CROWDED DEPARTMENT STORE PARKING LOT. SECOND WHILE SLOWLY MOVING FORWARD IN A FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU LINE. BARELY MISSING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. AND THIRD WHILE SLOWING DOWN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AGAIN MOVING SLOW EXITING A PARKING LOT. ALL THREE TIMES I'VE HAD TO ALMOST STAND ON THE BRAKE TO STOP AND SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND KILL THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE IS A 2010 FORD FUSION WITH APPRX 130,000 MILES.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR THE POWER STEERING JUST WENT OUT MAKING MY CAR VERY HARD TO STEER. POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME UP ON MY DISPLAY.

OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS MY FORD FUSION'S TRANSMISSION HAS SLOWLY BEGUN TO LOSE ITS SHIFTING ABILITIES. IT FIRST STARTED WITH SLUGGISH AND JERKY MOVEMENT WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED. THEN IT STARTED SLIPPING AND JERKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO SPECIFIC SPEED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE GOING. IT INCREASED TO AN EXTREMELY HIGH REV BEFORE MAKING A LOUD BANG AND HARD SHIFT INTO GEAR. AS OF YESTERDAY, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AS I WAS SLOWING TO A STOP THEN WOULDN'T REENGAGE 2ND OR 3RD GEAR. I LIMPED IT DOWN THE ROAD TO THE NEAREST EXIT INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE I STOPPED IN A PARKING SPOT. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE BEFORE TURNING IT BACK ON. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO BACK OUT, REVERSE WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I PUSHED IT OUT OF THE SPOT AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO DRIVE, THEN A QUARTER MILE DOWN THE ROAD ALL DRIVE GEARS WENT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO COAST IT INTO ANOTHER PARKING LOT WHERE I SHUT IT OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 15 MIN TO COOL AND TRIED AGAIN. NOTHING. I LOST ALL GEARS IN THE CAR. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE, SINCE TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC WOULD JUST LEAD TO THEM INFORMING ME OF THE SAME THING THAT ALL OTHER COMPLAINTS AND FORUMS HAVE STATED ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. A TRANSMISSION CHANGE FOR A MINIMUM OF $2500 AND THERE'S NO RECALL ON A VERY WELL DOCUMENTED AND SERIOUS ISSUE REGARDING FORD TRANSMISSIONS.

POWER STEERING SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS ADVANCETRAC SERVICE. THEN WENT TO RESTART CAR AND STEERING COLUMN IS LOCKED. RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE ON 2011 AND NEWR BUT NOT ON 2010 WITH MANY REPORTED ISSUES.

THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE ENGAGES AND I CANNOT STEER MY CAR STEERING JUST FAILS! CANNOT TURN STEERING WHEEL AT ALL WHILE TRAVELING AT 40 MPH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AT GETTING OFF THE ROAD BUT TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT IT WAS OK FOR A BIT HOWEVER AFTER RESEARCHING SEVERAL 2010 OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND ONLY RECALLS WERE ISSUED FOR 2011 OWNERS ITS COSTS 1800.00 TO REPAIR AT DEALERSHIP I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. I LITERALLY COULD NOT BUDGE THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS NOT TURNING A CORNER AT THE TIME I WAS HEADED STRAIGHT, WITH A CURVE AHEAD OF ME. THE CAR HAS ONLY 75K MILES HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF.

FUEL SMELL WHILE DRIVING, AND ALSO WHEN FILLING GAS IT WILL NOT SHOW THAT IT IS FULL.

POWER STEERING WILL STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING. I READ OR SAW THAT OTHER YEARS HAD BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT THE 2010 MODEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V001000 (AIR BAGS).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING BEGAN TO FAIL WITHOUT WARNING AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME DESPITE EXPERIENCING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO PROVIDED A REPAIR ESTIMATE FOR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 140,000.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG TO FOR AT KARL FLAMMER FORD IN TARPON SPRINGS FL. I RECEIVED MY CAR BACK WITH BOLTS ON THE FLOOR AND THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT NOT WORKING THE VEHICLE WENT BACK INTO THE DEALER I THEN RECEIVED IT BACK DENTS IN DINGS ON THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE FORD HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS INCLUDING CHECKING THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT NOT WORKING THE VEHICLE WENT BACK INTO THE DEALER I THEN RECEIVED IT BACK DENTS IN DINGS ON THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE FORD HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS INCLUDING CHECKING THE AIRBAG. TRYING TO SEE WHAT TO DO TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED BECAUSE IN MY EYES THIS AIRBAG JUST NOT WORK THE SEAT WAS NEVER CALIBRATED FOR THE AIRBAG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V284000 (STEERING). THE CONTACT CALLED FAIRWAY FORD LINCOLN (LOCATED AT 555 W MEADOWS DR, FREEPORT, IL 61032, (815) 232-6868) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 188,000.

(MY DAILY PATH IS ON CITY STREETS MARKED 45 MPH. INCIDENTS GENERALLY OCCUR AT INTERSECTIONS WITH STOP LIGHTS/SIGNS; I AM CONTINUING STRAIGHT AND NOT TURNING) BRAKES DO NOT FUNCTION WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED WHILE DRIVING DURING WET CONDITIONS, CONDITIONS WITH A DUSTING OF SNOW OR IF VEHICLE HITS A BUMP WHILE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. INSTEAD, THE BRAKE PEDAL FALLS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES FORWARD. DRIVER MUST PUMP BRAKE PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET PEDAL TO RETURN TO NORMAL POSITION AND FOR BRAKES TO ACTIVATE. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. THE ABS SYSTEM DOES NOT SEEM TO ACTIVATE, AS IT DOES NOT FUNCTION WITH THE NORMAL CHATTERING MOVEMENT THAT AN ABS SYSTEM HAS. DRIVER CAN HEAR A SLIGHT HUM AND FEEL NORMAL PEDAL RESISTANCE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS INITIALLY PRESSED, THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL FALLS TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES FORWARD. THIS DOES NOT ALWAYS OCCUR WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS WET, AS IT IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE. THE BRAKE PADS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE SOMEWHERE AROUND A YEAR OLD. TIRES ARE ABOUT 8 MONTHS OLD AND HAVE FULL TREAD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN 159,000 MILES WITH THE FIRST INCIDENCE OF BRAKE FAILURE HAPPENING SOMEWHERE AROUND 40,000 MILES. I WAS NARROWLY MISSED BY A SEMI TRUCK DRIVER ON FRIDAY MORNING AS I SLID THROUGH A RED LIGHT, ON A WET ROADWAY, WITH MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL WHICH HAD FALLEN TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS NOT JUST A PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE, AS THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE ON FORUMS ONLIN

MY 2010 FORD FUSION LOST POWER STEERING WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT 55 MPH. MY POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED AND CAUSED ME TO GO OFF THE ROAD AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH SEVERAL OTHER CARS. FORD CHARGED ME $1,800 TO FIX MY POWER STEERING WHEN THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. AS THEY HAD RECALLED ALL THE FORD FUSIONS AT THE TIME BUT THE 2010.

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

POWER STEERING FAILURE WHILE DRIVING 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID ON A 65MPH HIGHWAY, COINCIDENT WITH A "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" MESSAGE ON THE DASH. VERY LUCKY THIS WAS A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD!

WHEN DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES WILL NOT HOLD PRESSURE. I HAD THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS CHANGED AFTER IT SAT FOR 6 MONTHS.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. WAS NOT IN MOTION, TURNED CAR ON AND THERE WAS THE WARNING ON MY DASH. THERE WASNT ANY STEERING. TURNED IT OFF THEN RESTARTED CAR AND THE STEERING WAS BACK. I AM SCARED WHEN I DRIVE BECAUSE I HAVE READ THAT AWNERS HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND LOST STEERING

MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2010 FORD FUSION DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THANK GOODNESS HE WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY GOING 65!! WARNINGS CAME ON FOR POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND ADVANCE TRACK. WE DROVE WITH MANUAL STEERING TO A FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY LOOKED IT OVER AND NOW IT IS GOING TO COST US CLOSE TO $2000 TO FIX. I UNDERSTAND THAT FORD RECALLED OTHER YEARS OF FUSIONS FOR THE POWER STEERING FAILURE BUT NOT THE 2010 EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS AND ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.7/24/2019

TWICE I HAVE HAD A MESSAGE ON MY DASHBOARD THAT READS "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". DIDNNOT HAVE POWER STEERING VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING. POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WHILE CAR WAS DRIVING ON CITY ROAD

WE WERE DRIVING THE CAR AND THE CAR LOSS STEERING CONTROL AND THE POWERSTEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL AND DRIVE. LUCKILY SOMEONE DID NOT GET SERIOUSLY HURT.

I HAD A RECURRING ISSUE WHERE THE POWER BRAKES FAILED AND WE WERE FORCED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR TO GET THEM TO WORK. I REPORTED THIS ISSUE A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND WAS CONTACTED BY A NHTSA EMPLOYEE. AT THAT TIME THE DEALER HAD SAID IT WAS PERMANENTLY RESOLVED, WHICH I TOLD THE NHTSA EMPLOYEE. THE EMPLOYEE TOLD ME TO CONTACT HIM IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS EVENING. I REPLIED TO THE EMPLOYEE'S EMAIL, HOWEVER THE EMPLOYEE NO LONGER SEEMS TO WORK THERE. IT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS BACKING SLOWLY OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, AND SHIFTING OUT OF REVERSE TO DRIVE. THE BRAKE ASSIST SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON.

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I HIT A POTHOLE. THE BRAKES FELT LOOSE/SPONGY, AND I HAD TO PRESS DOWN ALL THE WAY FOR THE BRAKES TO WORK. I PUMPED THEM A FEW TIMES, AND IT SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT WAS RAINING A BIT THE OTHER DAY. I TURNED, AND BRAKES A LITTLE AND FELT THE ABS KICK IN. AFTER THAT, I WAS COMING TO A STOP LIGHT. I BEGAN TO BRAKE, BUT HAD TO PRESS DOWN ABOUT HALFWAY TO EVEN BEGIN BRAKING, AND ALL THE WAY TO BRAKE COMPLETELY. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED SINCE THEN, EVEN WITHOUT RAIN

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST BUT LAST TIME I STARTED MY CAR A WEEK AGO THE ERROR PERSISTS AND MY CAR NOW HAS NO POWER-STEERING CAPABILITIES. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING RACKS SHORTING OUT. I SHOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FINANCIALLY TO FOR THIS REPAIR AS 2011 FUSION TO 2013 WE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. MY CAR HAS THE SAME ENGINE SO THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. LUCKILY I WASN'T DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED THUS CAUSING AN ACCIDENT!

2010 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER COULD NOT LOCATE A DEALER. *JS

1ST INCIDENT WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A TURN I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR I PUMPED THE PEDAL AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW MY VEHICLE TO MAKE THE TURN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE TRYING TO COME TO A STOP ON A SLIGHT INCLINE TO PARK AGAIN I APPLIED BRAKES AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP. SECOND INCIDENT 2 WEEKS AFTER THE 1ST WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION I APPLIED BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP BUT INSTANTLY LOST PRESSURE AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. MY VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING INTO THE INTERSECTION AND I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO BE ABLE TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING SPORADICALLY. IVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES & HAS COST OVER $1,000 TO POSSIBLY CORRECT THE SITUATION.

IN RESPONSE TO FREE PRESS NEWS ARTICLE FROM SUNDAY 7/14, I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2010 FORD FUSION WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUES. FORD CLAIMED THEY INSTALLED THE A FIX FOR THE ISSUE, BUT PROBLEMS PERSISTED. VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER WHILE ON THE FREEWAY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. PLEASE EXPAND INVESTIGATION TO INCLUDE FUSIONS.

FIRST TIME IT HAPPEN I WAS ABLE TO DRAIN THE BATTERY SYSTEM AND GET IT STARTED AND TO A FORD DEALERSHIP , BEING THAT IT HAS TO BE SCANNED CAUSE OF THE NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE FORD IDS SOFTWARE WHICH I DO NOT HAVE!!! THEY HAD IT FOR A FEW DAYS AND CHECKED ALL MODULES AND CONNECTORS AND FOUND NO ISSUES BUT PROBLEM WAS GONE AND NO STORED CODES!!!

DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE PROBLEM IS GONE AGAIN AND THEY DID SOME WORK ON THE WIRING ON HARNESS BUT SAID IT WILL PROBABLY COME BACK AND NEED A NEW RACK AND PENION PUT IN!!!

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE OR STREET CAR ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE CLOSE TO GETTING HIT

I STARTED MY ENGINE IN MY 2010 FORD FUSION, AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WARNING DISPLAYED BY MY CAR GAUGES. THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED UP AND WILL NOT TURN. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A CITY STREET WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THANKFUL THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED BY FORD IMMEDIATELY.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT UNEXPECTEDLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH NO INDICATION.

MY POWER STEERING ASSIST WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING. I ALMOST WRECKED MY CAR WITH MY KIDS IN IT. IT WAS VERY SCARY

ONCE AGAIN MY POWER STEERING ASSIST QUIT WORKING WITH NO WARNING ALMOST CAUSING ME TO WRECK

WHILE DRIVING HOME THE STEERING WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL. MY WIFE BARELY MADE IT TO IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE WITHOUT CRASHING. THANK GOODNESS THIS WAS WITHIN CITY STREETS AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. I AM ALSO A REGISTERED LYFT DRIVER AND CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THE RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN IF THE STEERING HAD FAILED DURING MY WORKING FOR LYFT AND DRIVING INNOCENT PASSENGERS. I TURNED IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND AFTER HAVING THE AIRBAG RECALL TAKEN CARE OF, THEY CHECKED THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. INFORMED ME THAT A GEAR HAD DISINTEGRATED IN THE MOTOR AND THE ENTIRE MECHANISM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $2200.00. IN READING ABOUT THE OMISSION OF 2010 VEHICLES AS PART OF FORD'S RECALL, I THINK IT IS OBVIOUS THEY KNOW OF AN EXTENSIVE FAILURE IN CARS BETWEEN 2008 - 2012 THAT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX, EVEN WHEN IT MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING SEIZED AND THE SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.
