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.

I am unsure if my car was included in the air bag recall that I found via google, I was never notified for several recalls involving my car. Now the Ford dealership has informed me that there is an issue with my car as well as several others of the same make and model with code issues. These code issues cause the power steering to fail without warning and cause loss of control as well as something involving service advancetrac. Ford has told me they can reset each time the code messes up but at this time Ford has not ordered a recall and they will contact them to let them know. What am I to do? this is very dangerous!

Takata recall: Recall for passenger side. Received recall letter in July, latest estimate to replace defective part is June, or six months of limited use of our primary vehicle. #2 car is not dependable and with poor mileage. We can not go anywhere as a family unless we rent a car. In short this is costing us money. What can we do to get our Fusion fixed, so it will be safe?

Takata recall two months ago, I received recall notice indicating inflation of the passenger side airbag could cause severe injury or death. Neither Ford nor NHTSA have acted in a responsible manner in that Ford is still waiting for parts and cannot estimate when parts will be available. Considering inflation can cause "serious injury or death", there is no honest guidance by either Ford nor NHTSA other than keep driving. I intend to copy this to my two senators and my house representative.
