What owners wrote

While driving today at 55MPH my power steering lights blinked on then lost my power steering. Managed to barely get off the road . Very scary and can't believe the number of complaints for the power steering!! Could have easily went off the road and over the mountain today. Have to take to the dealer monday to see what its going to cost to repair.. Please do a recall as I had no idea how many complaints people have made. It is a life threat!!! 2010 ford fusion hybrid 67,000 miles.

This morning while driving to work I had a low tire pressure light pop up on my instrument panel. Seconds later it came up with power steering service now and I lost almost all ability to maneuver the vehicle. After I lost steering it said advancetrac service now. It was almost impossible to get the car to pull over to the side when I did I turned the car off for a few min and back on.
