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.

The Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) is a mess. It fails at an alarming rate. Don’t believe us? Take a look at NHTSA’s data on the subject.

And much like the power steering, we’re still seeing the same throttle body failures that started in 2010 continue in 2012.

This car seems to be plagued with issues. Dealers says they would need to take the entire dash board off to replace a $15 part turning it into a $600+ repair.

problem #2

Aug 222013

Fusion

  • Automatic transmission

Brand new car and within 6 months of purchasing it, the ac sensor goes out and it was not covered. So I had to pay out of pocket to have it fixed.

Fusion

  • Automatic transmission

Want to know if it is normal for a 2012 Ford Fusion with 42,000 miles to have the A/C sensor light go out and to have it replaced at a cost of $500.
