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.

Received a fault warning about the power assist system and the power steering was out; fortunately this was not while driving. After a little research, found out this can be intermittent. On the third try of starting, the error cleared and steering was fine. Took it to the dealer as power steering failure is obviously very dangerous. Lots of internet searching revealed this is a common problem with Ford's electronic power steering. Several lawsuits and all apparently dismissed for reasons I cannot understand.
The Ford website and the dealer both showed that there was a "customer relationship program" related to this, but only for the first 10 years you own the car (mine is 11 years old). Ford is telling me to pound sand, they won't help at all, and it will be $3k-$4k to fix. I could skip the fix and pray it never happens while driving, but my son is the primary driver and I really don't want to put him in that position. Options seem to be to pay multiple thousands of dollars, drive a dangerous car, or trade it in (hoping it doesn't fault when they inspect it). Thanks Ford, glad to see customer service is a priority.
