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've had no issues so far but why is it taking so long to fix this issue"?" it's been a year and a half since the recall and it still says "parts not available" to fix my car. This affects my resell value and is dangerous if I were to have an accident! I want this fixed.
