FORTUNATELY, HE WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROAD AND NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE OF THE MANY WINDING CURVES HE TRAVELS ON HIS WAY HOME FROM SCHOOL.   ALSO, FORTUNATELY (FOR FORD MOTOR CO.) HE WAS NOT MEETING ANOTHER CAR IN ONE OF THOSE CURVES. BEING AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER AND FACED WITH THE SUDDEN AND TOTAL LOSS OF SUCH A CRITICAL SYSTEM; (SUCH AS POWER STEERING) THE OUTCOME QUITE POSSIBLY COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. FURTHERMORE; IT WOULD APPEAR THE PROBLEM IS SYSTEMIC IN NATURE, PLAGUING NOT ONLY FORD MOTOR CO., BUT OTHER AUTO MAKERS AS WELL. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE WORLD IS NOT YET READY FROM AN ENGINEERING STANDPOINT, TO ALLOW ELECTRONICS TO REPLACE CRITICAL YET MECHANICALLY SIMPLE SYSTEMS WHOSE POSSIBLE FAILURE CAN BE LIFE-THREATENING.  CONSIDER ALSO THAT DUE TO THE STRUCTURE OF ALL CORPORATIONS, THE MOTIVATION FOR ANY CHANGE IN SYSTEM ENGINEERING CAN ONLY BE PROFIT BASED.  THE CONSUMER SHOULD IN NO WAY BE FORCED TO BEAR THE COST, FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE, FOR SIMPLE ENGINEERING MISTAKES WHICH APPEAR TO BE BASED ON PROFIT RATHER THAN SOUND ENGINEERING PRACTICES.     *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2010","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FUSION","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
