CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2011 Fusion builds off the 2010's reputation. That's not a good thing.
The first thing that jumps out is the ridiculous amount of power steering complaints. It grinds, it squeals, and it eventually just fails.
And if losing power steering isn’t enough for you, how about a sudden loss of engine power? That combination is enough to achieve clunker status.

The trac control engages sporadically and car will not respond. This is a very dangerous issue and needs to be addressed by Ford. If you pull out into traffic to merge and this happens it will/could cause an accident.
After owning my 2011 Ford Fusion for several weeks, the 'service advancetrac soon' light came on. The dealer ran a diagnosis on the car and it was showing a steering angle sensor bad. When they ordered the part and tried to install, this model did not have one. After three days in service and numerous calls to Ford, the dealer was told to reset system and see if it happens again. If it does, they will try to research further..
