Car lost all steering and pulled to the left with a warning light illuminated stating service power steering now. Ford replaced a steering gear that was supposed to be a recall less than 30 days and 300 miles later it happened again with the wife driving 70mph on the highway. This car is a danger to drive and is going to cause deaths. Ford is now wanting to charge me for the repair.

On 1/4/18 I got in my car and noticed the car was pulling to the left, it would stop pulling at speeds over 40mph. Thinking it could possible be a tire issue I had them rotated (tires have less than 12k miles on them) I then noticed that the car was now pulling to the right constantly. When I was driving on the interstate the car flashed a service advanctrac and service power steering now warning. While I was traveling 60mph the power steering cut out completely. Thankfully I was going in a straight line and not going around a corner. Or that we were not traveling during winter conditions. At that point I figured I didn't have a tire issue. I took the vehicle to a ford dealership. After inspection the claimed that I had a faulty steering gear. I had done some research before they had diagnosed it to see if it was a common issue with the fusions. I then noticed that there had been a recall for that exact issue I was having. When I asked the service tech if it was an issue that was warrantied they claimed it wasn't. After paying $1520 to have the gear replace. I called ford to inform them of my concern of how unsafe it was to have your power steering cut out. Especially when this is my wife's daily driver. They told me 'just because you have the same make, model, year, and circumstances that other cars have covered under recall doesn't mean yours is covered.' which is alarming to say the least.

Rack and pinion. Steering wheel makes clunking noise. Vehicle wanders. Ford company states this is not a recall which it should be. This is a manufacturing defect

2012 ford fusion recall when coming to a stop sign, I went to put my foot on the brakes and my steering pulled to the right and I could not steer the car and the brake pedal went straight to the floor. There is no broken brake lines. When this happen it steered me into another car that was parked on the street. After the accident I did a safety recall through car max and found out that there is a safety recall 15n01 and 13n03, which showed that they were not done. So I went to the dealer ship that I brought the car from 6 months ago and they said no they did not do the recall only re-programmed the car 15s18b. I tried calling ford directly but they said that there is nothing that they will do about it. Even after asking the question how can you just re-program medal and steering components? Still yet I have no answers from anyone.
