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 contact owns a 2011 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that when the heater was activated, the silver portion of the heat adjusters would become extremely hot and could not be adjusted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the mechanic was unable to diagnose the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 2,000. The current mileage was 50,000.
The fan blower to the air condition failed to work after a short park. The dealership told me the wire and resister had burned, did not know which happened first. I was told it could cause a fire so the parts were disconnected. Until new parts were installed. My concern is this vehicle was parked in my garage and this could have been a much bigger problem. I also am concerned that I am not the only one. Why should this happen to a car less than 2 years old.
