2010 Ford Fusion complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

I LEFT THE GAS STATION 2 NIGHTS AGO AND THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" CAME ON ALONG WITH THE "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" LIGHT. AFTER STOPPING AT THE STORE, UPON RESTARTING ALL POWER STEERING WAS GONE. VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 43,000 MILES. QUOTE WAS $1850 FOR REPAIR.

DELAYED SHIFTING, ENGINE REVS WITH LITTLE PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL AND CAR LURCHES FORWARD VIOLENTLY.

VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE CRUISING ON THE FREEWAY. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. LOST CONTROL OF THROTTLE AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR WOULDN'T REV UP OR ANYTHING. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND STARTING IT BACK UP AGAIN IT DROVE FINE AND THE WRENCH LIGHT DISAPPEARED.

I WAS DRIVING HOME LAST NIGHT AND THE ERROR MESSAGE, "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW", APPEARED. I PARKED MY CAR IN MY PARKING SPACE. THIS MORNING WHEN I GOT UP FOR WORK, THE MESSAGES, "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AND "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" APPEARED. I HAVE NO POWER STEERING AND AFTER READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS/REVIEWS, I'M THANKFUL I WASN'T DRIVING WHEN IT COMPLETELY WENT OUT. AFTER READING THE REVIEWS, I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND THAT THE PROBLEM CAN BE QUITE EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR (RANGING FROM $1,650 TO ABOUT $2,250). THERE WAS MINIMAL TO NO NOTICE TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING SERVICED BEFORE IT WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

COMPUTER CONTROLLING THROTTLE SHUTS ENGINE OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NO POWER TO CONTROL VEHICLE.

ON 01/05/2016, AFTER PICKING UP MY GOD DAUGHTER WHO I HAVEN'T SEEN IN A WHILE, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON US ON OUR WAY TO GRAB SOMETHING TO EAT. THE TRAC ALERT CAME ON THE WARNING SCREEN AND ALSO THE SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE, CALLED THE DEALER AND ALSO A PERSONAL MECHANIC. THE PRICE TO FIX THIS IS RIDICOLOUS. I GUESS THE LIVES OF THE CONSUMERS DO NOT MATTER. I AM GRATEFUL WE WERE ABLE TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE WENT COMPLETELY LEFT. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING I LOVE MY LIFE CLEARLY YOU DONT.

I WAS DRIVING THE MORNING OF 12/23/15 AND SUDDENLY ALERT SOUNDED AND DISPLAY INDICATED A FAULT WITH THE POWER STEERING. IT ADVISED IMMEDIATE SERVICE ATTENTION. I STRUGGLED BUT WAS ABLE TO GET TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER. AFTER DIAGNOSIS THEY ADVISED THAT I NEEDED A FULL COMPUTER RACK REPLACEMENT. TOTAL COST WAS AROUND $1900. CAR HAD ONLY 55K MILES AND I NEVER EXPECTED SUCH A MAJOR EXPENSE. ALSO, BASED ON OTHER ACCOUNTS ON THE INTERNET, ISSUE SEEMS TO BE SYSTEMIC WITH THIS CAR.

THE OTHER DAY I DROVE MY CAR ACROSS TOWN TO THE GYM, AND WHEN I WAS LEAVING TO DRIVE HOME I NOTICED A DISPLAY READING "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND MY STEERING WHEEL FEELS AS IF IT IS LOCKED IN PLACE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME, BUT THE FIRST TIME IT WENT AWAY AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR. THIS OCCURRENCE IT HAS NOT GONE AWAY AND IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. I HAD TO CALL MY FATHER TO COME AND PICK THE CAR UP CAUSE I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT THE REMAINING DISTANCE HOME. THE MECHANIC TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND SAID THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MODULE WAS NOT WORKING AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE PART ALONE IS 1200-1500 DOLLARS. I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT MANY OTHER FORD FUSIONS HAVING THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM, AND FORD HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON MANY SIMILAR YEARS AND MODELS. FORD SAID MY CAR IS NOT COVERED IN THIS RECALL, ALTHOUGH I'M EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

ELEVEN WEEKS AGO 10/22/15 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN THE MORNING ON THE EXPRESSWAY SERVICE ROAD GOING 45MPH A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ON THE PANEL READING, "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW/SERVICE ADVANCETRAC. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE ON HOME. PARK THE CAR AND WENT INSIDE GOT MY DAUGHTER READY FOR SCHOOL, WENT BACK OUTSIDE AN HOUR LATER TURNED THE CAR ON WARNING LIGHT STILL THERE. WENT TO PULL OFF AND THE CAR STEERING WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO MOVE. I SLOWLY DROVE MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL A FEW BLOCKS AWAY ON A NORMAL NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD GOING 30MPH. AFTER I DROPPED HER OFF AT SCHOOL, I SLOWLY DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO MY LOCAL MINEKE CAR CARE CENTER AROUND THE CORNER.IT IS VERY UNSAFE BUT I HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO GET HER TO AND FROM SCHOOL. UNABLE TO PARK THE CAR STRAIGHT BECAUSE OF THE STIFFEN STEERING WHEEL. I MUST SAY YOU REALLY HAVE TO PUT YOUR MUSCLES INTO STEERING THE CAR. MINEKE CLEARED THE CODES AND THE CAR WAS OK FOR A WHILE. SEVEN WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, DRIVING STRAIGHT ON THE SAME EXPRESSWAY SERVICE ROAD GOING 45MPH. BROUGHT IT BACK TO 12/9/15 MINEKE CAR CARE CENTER AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THE FORD DEALER BECAUSE THEY SAID THERE WERE MORE CODES AND THEY PROBABLY NEEDED TO UPDATE THE COMPUTER THERE WERE SEVEN CODES THIS TIME ACCORDING TO MINEKE. ONCE AT THE FORD DEALER, THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK ($146) AND SAID I NEEDED THE PSCM UPDATED. ONCE THEY DID THAT THE CAR WAS OKAY FOR A WEEK AND A HALF AND THE CAR WAS AGAIN TAKEN BACK TO THE FORD DEALER ON 12/31/15. THIS TI

AN INDICATOR MESSAGE CAME ON AT THAT TIME, READING "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AS WELL AS "SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK NOW" AND DUE TO LOSS OF STEERING AND INABILITY TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. DIAGNOSTICS AT FORD CERTIFIED REPAIR CENTER INDICATED A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE STEERING GEAR. THIS REQUIRED INSTALLATION OF AN ENTIRE NEW STEERING GEAR.

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION SE 4DRV6 AND WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE DOWN A HIGHWAY AND MY LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. UNABLE TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY I DROVE TO THE NEAREST GOOD YEAR WHICH OFFERS FREE TIRE REPAIR WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE THE TRACTION STABILITY CONTROL KICKED IN ON MY CAR AND MY SERVICE SCREEN SAID "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" I MAINTAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL I GOT TO GOOD YEAR WHERE THEY DISCOVERED THAT I HAD NO POWER STEERING. *JS

A FORD DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME OVER $2,000 TO REPLACE ENTIRE ELECTRONIC GEAR WHICH WAS NOT THE PROBLEM AT ALL. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS THE RACK AND PINION THAT HAS GONE BAD AND IS GOING TO COST OVER $1,000 TO GET A NEW RACK AND PINION. HE ALSO SAID THAT THE LOOSE RACK AND PINION WAS CAUSING THE POWERING STEERING HOSE TO LEAK.

WHILE IN MOTION, AT 40 MPH, THE FRONT PANEL ERROR MESSAGES, "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" & "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" DISPLAYED. I FORTUNATELY AVOIDED TRAFFIC AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT OFF A MAJOR ROADWAY IN THE CITY OF SUWANEE, GEORGIA. ALL POWER STEERING WAS LOST. THIS SEEMS TO FALL UNDER THE FOLLOWING PRELIMINARY EVALUATION #PE14030.

UNUSUAL WHEEL VIBRATION ON 2010 FORD FUSION CONTINUOUS SINCE SUMMER 2015.

SUSPECTED CRACK IN FUEL TANK DUE TO SMELL OF GASOLINE UNDER CAR CONTINUOUS SINCE SUMMER OF 2015, PLUS CLUTCH REGULARLY SLIPS NOW ALSO AS THOUGH PROBLEM IN TRANSMISSION.

WHILE DRIVING THE SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW AND THE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT CAME ON. CAR BECAME HARD TO STEER. PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST.

WHILE DRIVING THE SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW LIGHT AND THE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT CAME ON. CAR GOT HARD TO STEER. CAME TO A STOP AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS CAR.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT WHEN I REALIZED I WASN'T ABLE TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL. I SAW THE ALERT MESSAGE "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT." I PULLED BACK INTO MY PARKING SPOT, RESTARTED MY CAR, AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AND USE THE STEERING WHEEL JUST FINE. THIS HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE WHEN STARTING MY CAR BUT I THOUGHT MY CAR JUST NEEDED TO 'WARM UP.' THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT DIDN'T WORK AFTER WAITING A FEW MOMENTS. I RESEARCHED OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND I'M SEEING THAT THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER FORD FUSION 2010 OWNERS WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING, AND MANY OF THE CASES RESULTED IN ACCIDENTS. ALSO, ISSUE WITH IMPAIRED LUG NUTS. SOME CAR SHOPS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ROTATE MY TIRES BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET THEM OFF.

PULLED VEHICLE INTO MY DRIVEWAY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AFTER NORMAL OPERATION AND TURNED IT OFF. AFTER 5 MINUTES WENT TO MOVE VEHICLE. TURNED KEY TO START AND POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT MESSAGE APPEARED. STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN SO VEHICLE WASN'T MOVED. TRIED TO MOVE AGAIN 15 MINUTES LATER BUT STILL NO POWER STEERING. VEHICLE STAYED IN DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. MONDAY MORNING, VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND STEERING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. AFTER 3 WEEKS, PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. CONTACTED A FORD DEALER AND 2 PRIVATE SHOPS, ALL TELL ME THERE IS NO CODE RETAINED FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE DIAGNOSED WITH THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY HAPPENING. ALSO CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE REP SAID SHE WOULD RECORD MY INFO BUT COULD NOT PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.

AS I WAS DRIVING THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKIN. AND COULDNT TURN THE WHEEL. WHILE I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. ALSO THE GAS TANK WHENEVER I GET GAS THE CAR SHAKES & WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON AFTER THE GAS IS DONE, THE CAR STALLS & HAVE TO RESTART IT TWICE BEFORE IT STAYS ON

THE EPS SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AT SPEEDS THAT COULD RESULT IN DANGEROUS ACCIDENTS. I WAS TRAVELING AT 40 MPH AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP. MESSAGE CENTER STATED CLEARLY THAT THE POWER STEERING NEEDS SERVICE NOW. THE STEERING WAS MANUAL AT THIS POINT, SO I TRIED HARD TO PULL IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. I THEN HAD IT TOWED TO MY REPAIR SHOP. THIS IS GOING TO COST $1000'S OF DOLLARS! THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A CONCRETE GUARD RAIL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V340000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

POWER STEERING FAILED, AND FIXED ITSELF AFTER RESETTING THE CODES. A WEEK OR SO AGO I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN CAUSING ME TO GO OFF OF THE ROAD! THANKFULLY I HAD MY SEATBELT ON AND I WAS NOT INJURED AND THEIR WAS NO DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. FORD HAS ONLY ISSUED A RECALL FOR 2011 AND NEWER MODELS WHICH IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE MORE PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE 2010 MODELS. WAS TOLD IT COULD BE CLOSE TO 3,000 TO FIX THE ISSUE! AND THAT IT ISN'T GUARANTEED THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN! BEYOND UPSET AND FRUSTRATED! I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THE CAR, BUT CAN'T AFFORD NOT GETTING IT FIXED EITHER! FOR MOW OH AGE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH NO POWER STEERING BECAUSE I NEED TO GO TO WORK AND GO TO SCHOOL!

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR MY STEERING WHEELING LOCKED AND I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR . WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE A STANDARD HYDRAULIC STEERING WHEEL SYSTEM BUT INSTEAD IT HAS AN ELECTRONIC ONE THAT WILL COST OVER $1000 TO REPAIR . I'M CONSIDERING SUING THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY BECAUSE I ALMOST DIED IN MY CAR DUE TO THIS FAULTY SYSTEM THEY PROVIDED IN MY CAR . AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF FORDS CUSTOMERS WITH A 2010 FORD FUSION ARE GOING THROUGH THE SAME ISSUE AND FORD IS NOT WILLING TO HELP . I WILL BE IN CONTACT WITH A LAWYER ON MONDAY. I LIVE IN BUFFALO NY WHILE DRIVING MY CAR I WAS ON A BUSY STREET INTERSECTION WHY MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT .

WELL I COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY HURT SOMEONE ELSE OR MY LOVED ONES AND MY VEHICLE BECAUSE WITHOUT ANY WARNING ONCE SO EVER MY CAR STOPPED TURNING. MEANING IT WAS 20 TIMES HARDER FOR ME TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. THE WARNING THAT FLASHED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IN THE SPLIT SECOND OF ME TRYING TO FIX WHATEVER WAS GOING ON WAS THAT I NEEDED TO GET MY POWER STEERING SERVICED IMMEDIATELY! SO IN RETURN MY CAR'S STEERING ABILITIES JUST ABRUPTLY STOPPED. LUCKILY, I WAS AT A GAS STATION AND NOT MOVING TOO FAST, ABLE TO TURN ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND HONK AT EVERYONE IN PASSING NOT TO COME NEAR ME WHILE MY SISTER WAVED EVERYONE AWAY. THE ISSUES WITH THE 2010 FORD FUSION IS BEYOND RIDICULOUS AND QUITE FRANKLY TOO DANGEROUS! NOW THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE NEEDS SERVICING. FORD HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM BUT ONLY FOR 2011'S AND UP. THIS CAR IS HIGHLY UNCONTROLLABLE AND TERRIFYING TO OPERATE W/O POWER STEERING. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME TOWING TO A DEALERSHIP, RENTAL CAR FEES, A DIAGNOSTIC TEST OF $99 DOLLARS, PARTS AND LABOR AND OF COURSE MY TIME. ALL WITH THE HANGING CARROT THAT I MIGHT BE REIMBURSED IF THEY DO ISSUE A RECALL DOWN THE LINE OR AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT THE FORD RELATIONS CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE TOLD ME. NOT ONLY WILL THIS COST ME UPWARDS $2000 AND MORE BUT THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER TOO. THIS IS MY ONLY CAR AND I HAVE TO STILL MAKE CAR PAYMENTS DURING THIS. WHAT A HEADACHE!!! AND FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE'S NO RECALL FOR 2010 FORD

LAST YEAR I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY RECALIBRATE AND CLEANED. AFTER RECEIVING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, FORD REPLACED THE PART AT NO COST. IT HAS BEEN NOT EVEN A YEAR YET AND MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY VEHICLE STALLED OUR AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS SOME OTHER LIGHTS. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND FROM WHAT I REMEMBER FROM THE OTHER 1000 POSTS, THEY SAID TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DID. IT OBVIOUSLY OCCURRED A FEW MORE TIMES AS WELL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND MY BILL WAS 1,000 DOLLARS. THEY CHANGED A PURGE VALVE WHICH WAS STUCK OPEN. THEREFORE, ALLOWING THE GAS TO FLOW DIRECTLY TO THE CANISTER. THEY ALSO MENTIONED HOW DIRTY THE ENGINE WAS AND RECOMMENDED THAT I GET A FLUSH DONE ON THE VEHICLE. I DECLINED BECAUSE I KNEW THAT CARBON WAS COMING FROM THE THROTTLE BODY. ANYWAYS, THE VEHICLE IS VERY UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE. WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL, IT TAKES A GOOD 7 SECONDS TO ACCELERATE AND THEREFORE POSSIBLY CAUSING A CRASH, ESPECIALLY TRYING TO MERGE ON THE PARKWAY. I WENT THROUGH THIS A YEAR AGO AND EVER SINCE SPENT OVER 6,000 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS. NOT TO MENTION THE MOTOR MOUNTS WHICH BREAK PRETTY OFTEN. IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO JUMP OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I CALLED FORD AND EXPLAINED THAT MY CAR WAS EXPERIENCING THROTTLE BODY ISSUES AGAIN AND THEY SAID THAT ONCE IT'S FIXED, THE WARRANTY IS UP AND I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! THEIR CARS ARE UNSAFE. WHAT IF I WAS

THE FUEL TANK IS LEAKING ON THE VEHICLE. THE WARRANTY COMPANY SAYS IT WAS RUST. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS NOT RUST AND WAS COMMON ON THIS MODEL OF FUSION. THEY SAY IT IS LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK NEAR THE SEAM. I CANNOT FILL THE TANK IN MY CAR AND THIS IS A DANGER BECAUSE IT IS CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WILL BE $1200 AND WHEN I CALLED FORD THEY JUST ARE AWARE THERE IS A ISSUE BUT ALSO TELL ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THE ADVANCED TRAC LIGHT CAME ON. SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW. I WAS IN THE CAR WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD SON AND I AM 5 MONTHS PREGNANT.THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEED TO BE FIXED THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION.
