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?

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.
Car stalling out while driving when the car has plenty of fuel. No check engine light will go on then goes off but the same issue is happening. This is a known issue with this model also a recall was issues but looks loke they missed my car. Car stalls out when im in traffic. Really whenever it wants

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.
Tamara recall my Ford Fusion make a 'frat' noise/sound that comes from the gas tank. When the noise starts the engine will narely idle and sometimes dies. It doesn't matter if the vehicle is being driven down the road or just sitting idling. One time I was pulling out from a stop sign when this noise started and the car died with oncoming traffic coming right at me. Other times it's just an annoyance an the engine runs fine. When I googled it I've noticed that several other Ford Fusion with the turbo engine have the same issue. This has been happening off and on again for a year and a half now. I have a link to a youtube video of another Ford Fusion with the turbo engine doing the same thing mine does. Thank you for looking into this issue! https://youtu.be/ag4ssmgfsgg

I have a 2013 Ford Fusion that I just had to replace the. Take booster on, 8000 miles out of warranty...and now1 week later, my turbo has went out! gonna cost over $1000 to fix, not to mention the 400$ for the brake booster.. I have always been a Ford fan! but this is definitely putting a bad taste in my mouth!!!!! I could understand if the car had a lot of miles on it.... but 68,0000 miles"??" come on!!!!
It reads in the warning section I was over heating than the engine light came on. And it won't keep idle when I fill it up with gas I have to set for 10 to 15 mins before it will keep idle for me to drive
I bought my Fusion 6 months ago, and here lately I have been experiencing stalling issues. It tends to happen when the vehicle has been running for a while. I will sit in my daughter's school parking lot to wait for her to get out when all of a sudden the engine shudders and stalls. And other times it happens when driving in the parking lot at low speed, again it shudders and dies. We have changed a couple parts(high fuel pressure sensor, fuel sending unit, and the high pressure fuel pump) nothing seems to be helping the issue.
