Knocking sounds started happening when turning steering wheel. Confirmed by independent mechanic and Rodman Ford dealership to need power steering rack/electric motor. Recall for this problem on other 2015 Ford fusions but my VIN is not included. I have been told this is a serious safety issue and it should be covered.

The steering is making a knocking noise when turn it 1 way or the other. Took to mechanic and was told 2 bolts are broken on the steering gear motor. They told me there was a recall #15s14 from ford to take care of this and that they would have to do the work. Took to ford dealer and they said the recall is not in my state of south dakota and that I'd have to pay $1800 to have it fixed. The car has less then 36,000 miles and is out of the warranty and not happy that it does not include every ford fusion in that year. Have called ford customer service and have just pond me off. The car is parked as don't dare drive it!!!
