One morning, as I started the car in the parking lot to head to work, I noticed the power steering was not functioning. A warning light appeared indicating a problem with the power steering system.  I contacted a mobile mechanic to inspect the issue. After examining the vehicle, he confirmed the power steering had failed and advised me to take the car to a dealership for repairs. I arranged for a towing service to transport my vehicle to Interstate Ford in Dacono, Colorado. The dealership diagnosed the issue as a failure in the power steering gear and estimated the repair cost to be approximately $3,500.  Concerned about the nature of the failure, I researched online and discovered that Ford had issued a recall (NHTSA Campaign ID: 15V340000) in June 2015 affecting 393,623 vehicles, including certain 2012 Ford Fusion models, due to similar power steering issues. However, when I contacted Ford, I was informed that my vehicle\u2019s VIN is not included in the recall.  I believe this may be an oversight, as the failure in my vehicle matches the conditions described in the recall. A sudden loss of power steering while driving could have led to a serious accident. I respectfully request that Ford re-evaluate the recall criteria and consider including my vehicle\u2019s VIN, as well as potentially others that may be at risk of the same issue.  Thank you for your attention to this matter.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2012","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FUSION","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
