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.

Now the same problem happened again 03/25/2023.They can not fix it to last. The same problem also with the right side front and rear door. The repair parts are junk.

I can only get out of car by pulling door handle with one hand and door lock handle simultaneously while using foot to kick door. It is frustrating and embarrassing and requires a lot of energy for a woman my age. I am exhausted and mad by the time I finally get out of car. This is a continuous problem. I feel like there should be a recall. I can't go on this website and fill out a form for every time I drive my car and get out and back into car. I also have to make sure I don't leave keys in car or it locks me out of car.
