CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2011 Fusion builds off the 2010's reputation. That's not a good thing.

The first thing that jumps out is the ridiculous amount of power steering complaints. It grinds, it squeals, and it eventually just fails.

And if losing power steering isn’t enough for you, how about a sudden loss of engine power? That combination is enough to achieve clunker status.

My son started his Fusion and the power assist fault light came on. He couldn't turn the steering wheel. The car was shut off, and when I arrived and started it, it was fine after being put in reverse. I researched recalls and found many on this vehicle. Air bags, lug nuts, power assist to name a few. I called Ford and they ran the VIN #, they said the number was not covered. How can certain #'s be covered when they all have the same problem !? I guess the only fix is to to have people who can't afford to fix it ($2000) drive unsafely because Ford won't admit they are in the wrong ! I can only hope nothing happens while he is driving..

Takata recall. I have been waiting for my recall to be fixed since July of 2018. I received a letter from Ford stating they would provide a rental car until they were able to fix the airbags. I contacted bob davidson Ford and they said they would put me on a list to fix the airbags and to provide a rental. It's March and I still haven't heard from them. I contacted another Ford dealership, bud norris Ford, and they stated that they aren't giving out rentals anymore and Ford only told me they were giving out rentals to get me off of the phone and they didn't have the parts to fix it. I contacted a third Ford dealership, al packer, and they didn't have the parts to fix it either. So I have been driving around a car with airbags that could kill me with no one able to fix them. I don't know how you get on a list because I've talked to bree dealerships and not one has been able to fix the problem or call me back and tell me when they could fix it.

I was in a single vehicle accident February 23, 2015 where I slid off an icy back road causing significant front end damage which was repaired at milnes Ford in lapeer, mi. Due to the amount of damage the airbags should have deployed but they never did. I now have a bulged disk in my neck and another in my lumbar spine. A later computer scan for a separate issue indicated the airbags did not deploy as they should have. When the original repairs were done, the dealership did not check and never addressed the failure to deploy. The only towing that was done was to get my vehicle out of a ditch.

I was never contacted about any recalls. My mother contacted me through email to see if I knew about the airbag recall. 2 recalls I only learned about today by checking my credit report because the Agency that holds the title reported my account for non-payment. I recieved a carfax report when I purchased the vehicle August 2017 from drivetime. I was told there were no recalls on the vehicle. Now, I am seeing 4 recalls, 2 of which (2014 & 2016) have appeared only now that the vehicle is being serviced. I was probably the only idiot in America that would have bought the high-mileage, over-priced vehicle in the 1st place. I was told it had been a fleet vehicle for a rental car Agency. I thought I was getting a safe vehicle. But my feeling now, is that it should have never been sold. I'm not sure what to do. The vehicle may get repossessed and I am feeling cheated. I sent the car to the 1st auto body shop and they wanted $1470 for all the repairs. I called Ford Motor Company, they told me the car could get repaired free of charge at an authorized Ford dealer. I had the car towed to the 2nd shop. The car has been at that dealership since February 1st. My estimate is about $260. I'm not sure what I'm expecting to happen, but I attached a photo of the fuel overflow hose leaking fuel even when the tank was not full. It would do this regularly and that is 1 of the 2 new recalls that appeared. I'm scared to drive this car. I just want some reliable answers and solutions before I shell out any further money on a car that has put me, my family and other people at risk. Please help. Thanks in advance.......
