I have a brand new 2010 ford fusion that has approximately 3000 miles on it. I had a bad experience where the power steering suddenly stopped working while pulling my car out of a parking garage. The vehicle console display showed a 'power steering assist failure' message. I pulled my car over to the side with considerable effort and shut the ignition off. After a few minutes wait, I restarted the car and everything was normal. Within a few minutes, a less than a mile traveled, the same failure occurred and the same message was displayed while in a round-about. I again pulled my car over and shut it off. It again restarted and steered fine and I drove immediately to my dealership. The dealership read the code, cleared it and informed me that they could not get the vehicle to reproduce the problem. This is a very scary issue and no components were replaced. I am a prior owner of a chevrolet cobalt and I am familiar with their recall for the electric assist. My cobalt did not fail, but they replaced the assist motor under recall. I did not realize that the ford fusion now has electric assist. Are other fusion owners having intermittent failures with their steering?
