REGARDLESS IF THE CAR WAS MOVING OR STOPPED, TURNING THE STEERING FROM THE 12 O'CLOCK POSITION EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT, IT WOULD TRY TO \"JUMP\" TO THE 10 OR 2 O'CLOCK POSITION. IT WAS DISTURBING ENOUGH THAT MY WIFE WOULD NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR. AFTER DIAGNOSIS, THE DEALER INFORMED ME THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE POWER STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY, THE REPAIR COST WOULD EXCEED 2000 DOLLARS. FORD HAS HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING ON THESE CARS THAT THE NHTSA ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO (15S18). THE PROBLEM IS SEVERE ENOUGH THAT FORD HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THE POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY TO 150,000 MILES (15N01) MY CAR HAS 82,000 MILES ON IT. THE WARRANTY ONLY WORKS IF CERTAIN DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES POP UP DURING DIAGNOSIS. SINCE MY CAR DID NOT SUFFER A COMPLETE FAILURE I WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. IF YOU READ THROUGH THE NHTSA COMPLAINTS, MANY CONSUMERS HAD COMPLETE POWER STEERING FAILURES BUT ALSO DID NOT MEET FORDS REQUIREMENTS FOR WARRANTY REPAIR!  IF YOU VIEW NHTSA COMPLAINT SECTION ON THE 2012 FUSION. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF  1601 COMPLAINTS AS IF THIS WRITING FOR THIS VEHICLE - ALMOST 50% DEAL WITH JUST THE STEERING!  THE NHTSA HAS COMPLETELY LET FORD OFF THE HOOK ON THIS ISSUE. INSTEAD OF INSURING THE PUBLIC SAFETY, THE NHTSA HAS ALLOWED FORD TO CREATE A NEW INCOME STREAM. IS THE NHTSA WAITING FOR A FORD OWNER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THEIR CAR AND SLAM INTO A MINI VAN FULL OF KIDS BEFORE REQUIRING THE MANUFACTURE TO COMPLETELY RECTIFY THIS SAFETY HAZARD? REPROGRAMMING A CONTROL MODULE AND ALLOWING THE MANUFACTURE TO REFUSE TO PROVIDE EXTENDED WARRANTY REPAIRS IS NOT CUTTING IT.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2012","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FUSION","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
