2010 Ford Fusion Steering

The power steering has failed and the rack and pinion needs replacement. Altho there was a recall they will not honor me to fix Bec they said it was over mileage. This is a safety concern bec the vehicle cannot be driven safely without power steering. It can cause you not to be able to turn fast enough or move from on coming traffic. I almost hit another vehicle trying to turn onto road. Have had vehicle looked at and was told it's not safe to drive until fixed

Loss of power steering; and is available for inspection. Stopped working mid drive; confirmed with code U3000. Not inspected by Ford nor will dealership fix because of no recall. While driving dashboard gave service Advance Trac . The same issue the 2011 and 2012 Fusions had a recall for but the 2010 have the same issue and Ford wont recall. (Found that a fault in the programing caused a false negative shutting off power steering) 1579 complaints but Ford wont recall 2010's. Customers have had steering rack replaced only for the issue to come back; Ford discovered a flaw in the programing. Ive had the codes cleared and it drives fine for 160 or so miles then fails (3times). 2011/2012 recall had the new program uploaded to correct issue ;why not 2010? 2010 has same exact issue even the miles at (total) when failure happens is in line with 2011/2012
