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?
My battery died on my car and we tried to jump it using another vehicle. It didn't work and my son decided to put the jumper cables in my trunk, but since the car was dead, we couldn't open the trunk from the outside. He put down the back seat and put them in the trunk that way. When he went to put the seat back into place, we realized that the seat belt in the middle was tight and wouldn't loosen up. We stopped by the dealership to see if there was a quick fix, but there isn't one. Now the seat will need to be torn apart and fixed for who knows how much money.
I had rear seat belts locked up on passengers resulting in them having to slide out seat and cutting one seat belt. Resolution needed new seat belt system in rear could not raise rear seats from fold position due to seat belt crank malfunction.
