CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2013 Fusion doesn’t have the same track record of power steering failure as the previous 3 model years. Of course, those owners said their steering failed at 60k–100k miles. So this appears to be a classic "wait and see" scenario.
In the meantime, there’s plenty of interior accessory problems to complain about. By themselves, each is a barely a blip on the radar. But combined, they give you that feeling of what the hell have I gotten myself into?
A/C cools in less than a minute for the passenger side vents. Drivers side will not cool for 5-10 minutes of driving, even when dual zone is on and both sides set to LO or when dual zone is off and temp set to LO. Was told that vehicle was in specification even though they would not tell me what the specifications are and that the specifications are"proprietary" and would not release them. Have had other Ford vehicles with dual zone and never had this problem. Have spoke to certified mechanics( non ford) and was told it sounds like a water valve or blend door motor issue.
