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.

Takata recall. I contacted (2) Ford dealerships repeatedly since the recall of the airbag. Each time I call the service departments of fiesta Ford in indio, ca., or gosch Ford in hemet, ca. I am told that they will call me when replacement parts are available. I have been trying to have this airbag replaced since 2014 with no cooperation from the Ford dealerships, which at this time the vehicle is not being driven for safety reasons.

Tacata recall ;I just had a reflection on the fact that I've been driving around in a time bomb for nine years. I think of this almost every time I drive it. Not a very nice thought to have. So what's the deal are they ever going to fix my car or you people going to just let it slide. I wan't a new car. I would even take a refund. The stress of this is becoming just too much. I was sold a defective product now I want to exchange it for one that is not defective. That's my problem. Now who is going to do anything about it. Who will even read this?
