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.

Today when turning into a parking space with my right foot lightly on the brake, my car suddenly accelerated. I quickly turned the wheel and braked to avoid hitting a cement post. Two weeks ago when going up a hill without my cruise control on, the car would not accelerate when I was pushing on the gas pedal. I released the pedal and the car lurched forward so fast I had to brake.
