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

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact's son owns a 2012 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at 15 MPH, the steering wheel inadvertently lost power steering. The power steering warning light and the steering assist warning light illuminated. The contact's son was able to continue to drive the vehicle to his residence by manually steering the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the steering rack and pinion had failed. The dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle would be repaired at his own expense because the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V340000 (Steering). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.
