There was a safety recall for the 2011 ford fusion, however, I put my VIN into ford's system to access the power steering assist failure recall, and it does not come up. The 2011 ford fusion and other years were recalled by ford, yet it doesn't show for my car. I need this repair completed, as this vehicle is unsafe in its current state. I was driving the vehicle on the city streets and the highway, it lost all steering control. I was in fear of my life. I could barely turn the steering wheel and had to maneuver two lanes of traffic to come to a stop. I have not had the car for long, yet it sits in the garage because it is unsafe and undriveable. I need to know why my 2011 ford fusion is not covered. Ford knew about the faulty steering racks in these vehicles and refuse to repair or offer a remedy for some of the same model year vehicles.
