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?
As we were on our way to vacation we were on the highway at 60mph, all of my warning lights flashed on. After locating a Ford dealer we sat in the waiting area for 3 hours for them to say that our car was showing 15+ warning codes. They said it was safe to drive and should just need a new part that would take them a while to get in. We didn't have the time but they assured us it was safe.
When we returned home (1,000+ miles later) we took it to my local Ford dealer. They said it probably needs a new Restraint Module. However it's been 2 weeks and still nothing. I was also informed that the airbags would NOT have deployed and the vehicle should not be driven. Nothing like having a new vehicle that you are paying for to sit at a dealership's parking lot.
