CarComplaints.com Notes: Power steering problems started rearing their ugly head in the 2010 Fusion, so you'd think Ford had plenty of time to make sure those problems didn't creep into the 2012. But here we are.
All I can say is this car has no pickup what so ever, to the point of putting me in a very dangerous position numerous times. For example when driving to Palm Springs I have to stay at 65mph. If I get under that on the highway (for example behind a slow truck) I cannot even think about passing the slow truck (usually going about 45mph) because I couldn't gain enough speed to do it. It's like being on a go-cart on the freeway and very dangerous because when you attempt to pass if you have someone coming up on you in a normal speed you will get hit. Cuz the car just can't make it. Pathetic.
I've had 4 hp engines in other makes of cars that I never had a problem with. This is horrible and scary. I have taken it in to the dealer twice and of course paid for it myself to be checked out and told nothings wrong. Go to Car Max where I bought it and they tell me it's a recall issue and to go to the dealer. I do that and come upon the game of me again paying for it to be checked out. Sick of it. Losing work time and getting no where. Strongly suggest buying another vehicle. I love everything else about the car it's too bad the most important issue cannot be addressed.
