While driving on the highway, I noticed a "hitch" in the steering. The car would wander one way or the other and when I attempted a normal, minor steering correction, the wheel would hit a "hitch" which would require a little more of a tug to get past the "hitch". It became a real issue to drive the car in a straight line without zig zagging down the road, because minor corrections could not be made without a tug. When I got off the highway onto two way traffic, the issue was more concerning as tugs were needed to be made to keep the car from pulling towards the road centerline into oncoming traffic, then back towards the ditch. The "service advance track " and "uphill assist" warning messages appeared as well as the traction control off icon. The Ford garage indicated the Power Steering Control Module: Replace PSCM (steering gear) includes PMI and transfer outer tie rod ends/ 2 tie rod end nuts and steering shaft bolt + 4 wheel alignment when completed. There have been multiple recalls for this issue but my vin # not included in recall, even though I bought the car new in Michigan and it has remained in Michigan. From the many complaints I see on your sight, this is a known safety issue. Somebody is going to end up getting killed from this issue if they haven't already. Please take this very dangerous situation seriously and force the hand of Ford into recalling all defective vehicles. Ford's bottom line is not more important than even 1 life. Vehicle cannot be safely driven, it is currently at the shop for repair, estimate is over $2,700.

Our 2014 ford fusion has always had an off balance feel when driving it. It feels like the wheels on the back end are seriously out of balance, alignment and feels like it all of a sudden will pull to one side when driving over 55 MPH. Keeps eating tires. Have had 10 tires on it since 2014 and has 79,000 miles on it. We only drive good highways. The company has reported the alignment is fine. Between the belts breaking on the tires and the car, I can't wait to pay it off to trade it in. Scares me to drive it. This has been on ongoing problem with the care since we got it, so the date I have to click doesn't explain that it is ongoing.

On wednesday, september 16, 2015 around 3:45pm I made a left turn at a stop light, going about 15-20mph or less, just taking a corner and the steering locked up and kept pulling to the left, I was unable to straighten the car up, luckily no one was beside me. I put the car in park and then back in drive, then I was able to continue. Very scary, that came out of no where.
