Narrative

The power steering does not work at low speeds-it seems to work ok when I am going fast and I have a few friends/family that have Ford Fusions that have the same problem. I cannot turn without using every muscle in my arms to turn the vehicle, making driving almost impossible. The first time it occurred I was turning into my driveway and almost went down the embankment. I was stopped by a huge rock and messed up the whole front end! I got that fixed a little, the bumper is hung by zip ties and four mechanics I talked to do not know how to fix it because there is no power steering pump.
