I also hit my head on the driver side window and felt very dizzy for a while afterwards. Because I was so in shock and scared, I wasn\u2019t able to drive the car home for hours, so I pulled onto the side of the road and called my family to let them know what happened. When I purchased the vehicle I wasn\u2019t informed of any issues with the model. Both this model and several others were included as part of a recall, and the car was taken into the shop and \u201crepaired\u201d by past owners, yet the power steering failed again. There is no active unrepaired recall because the car was brought in before and worked on by Ford mechanics who then cleared the recall after fixing the car because they deemed the issue to be addressed. However, the issue is still ongoing. It is not fixed at all. I purchased this car last year, and if I would\u2019ve known this would happen or that the car had so many issues I never would\u2019ve bought it. I\u2019ve taken the car to several dealerships that have said the problem is a complete failure of the steering gear, yet when I take it in to ford dealerships they state that the \u201cextended warranty is expired\u201d and that they can\u2019t do anything about the vehicle needing a recall. I almost lost my life, I have a car that I cannot drive and have not been able to drive ever since the incident occurred. Why am I being punished because my car has been refused to be repaired, and because Ford has refused to provide me any reimbursement for the problem? To whoever reads this, thank you so much for taking the time to read and help me with this problem, as my vehicle is how I\u2019m able to ensure survival and I\u2019ve been struggling to survive without any type of vehicle.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2012","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FUSION","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
