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?

I couldn't drive my car in the middle of the road
The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fusion. While driving approximately 15 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. Also, every time the vehicle was fueled, it would not start. The contact stated that the fuel pump was replaced two years ago by lenoir city Ford (775 us-32, lenoir, tn 37771). The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or repaired again. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 96,000.
After I drive the car, and turn it off, then come back 30-45 minutes later, and start the car up, the engine shuts off or I drive it 200ft., the car shakes violently, and then turns off. This has happened to me while parked and while moving in bumper to bumper traffic. This has happened multiple times over the last few months. The issue seems to only happen when the car is stationary or moving at low speeds.

Hello, on 03/14/2019 I chatted Ford on my numerous recalls on my 2013 Ford Fusion. I was given case# (xxxxx) and told to take to a Ford dealership for assessment on prior recall repairs. In 2017 we had a coolant recall and was told by dave littleton Ford in smithville, mo. That we had anti-freeze all over our engine and they had to replace the whole engine. We never had any problems or signs that it had a coolant problem" we took in because we got the recall notice. My car has never ran right since. It idles fast etc. In December our flex plate cracked, now 3 months later it cracked again. Our mechanic says the engine does not appear to have been lined up correctly with the transmission and we will continue to have issues because of the shotty mechanical work done by dave littleton Ford. We have taken to gary crossley Ford in kc, mo. They also agree there is shotty mechanical work done to the engine repair due to recall? we have been 2 weeks with no word on how this issue is going to be resolved and are without a car? I need some answers? the engine was not aligned correctly and sealant was put in places it should not have been when replaced. I am no mechanic but they have submitted in the claim they are sending in with greater detail candice says:the reason I am asking these questions is because we are not able to view claims entered by the dealer. I want to understand what it is that they were waiting for. So, they can complete the repair, they are just waiting for Ford to say it can be done under the recall, is that correct? amy says: Yes if I was not sold a car with a faulty part I would not have had coolant all over my engine to have to be replaced. If an appointed Ford mechanic had correctly replaced engine I would not be in this situation" Ford continues to close claims and ignore issues! case#(xxxxx) parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
After driving 10-25 miles and stopping for a short break to grocery shop or visit family. Starting the car up again and backing/pulling out of parking spot or drive way - it stalls. Power stays on, but engine fluctuates RPM in a lunging fashion before puttering out. This can happen multiple times a day or every couple of days it's very random. I have talked to another Ford Fusion owner and they have had very similar issues.
My car shutters at an idol or slowly taking off where it shuts off.this has happened more then once and the scary thing is I've pulled out in a intersection and the car shuts off. I have to put it in park and restart it.it's happening more often now my engine light just came on after this happing for over a month now.
My vehicle has stalled while driving and is hard to start after fueling with gas. After taking it to Ford for recalls in October of 2018 and brought the issue up and they wanted to charge me for diagnostic. After taking my car to my mechanic shop for oil change and to look into the issue of stalling, they made me aware of the purge balance needing replaced and that would solve the issue with the vehicle stalling. Apparently, Ford knew this defect since 2013 and paid for replacement if a complaint was filed. Now into 2019, 93,000 miles and no warranty, Ford doesn't want to assist in paying for the replacement. I don't feel I should be responsible for paying for the repair. It is very dangerous to have the car stall in the road and around busy traffic.
My car and alot of other cars from the Ford Fusion model hase a known issue also a recall of the fuel pump. Error code P00C6. That makes the car stall out while driving. Almost caused an accident. I also put the issue on youtube and meny other people are having the same issue. This is clearly a recall.
My car is around 86,000 miles and in the past month started to shut off after about a 30 minute drive. My Fusion makes a sound distinctive sound before this happens, somewhat loud and goes in and out. Engine completely seizes if I'm coming to a stop and I heard the sound. Car also has trouble starting after refueling.

The idle of my engine is rough and when at a low idle in traffic it feels like it's going to stall. Lately, my car completely stalled driving at low speed up a parking structure. It completely stalled again when pulling into my driveway. I took it in, but the mechanic couldn't find a sensor triggering the issue.
