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.

AS i was driving, engine shut off in the middle of the road. Restarted and had no gas power, check engine light then comes on and the thermostat went from normal to hot. Opened hood and Antifreeze was everywhere... Shop is replacing water pump, and all belts. They will be checking for other issues.
