CarComplaints.com Notes: Power steering problems started rearing their ugly head in the 2010 Fusion, so you'd think Ford had plenty of time to make sure those problems didn't creep into the 2012. But here we are.
It would have cost me $200 to fix at the dealer, perhaps more. I ordered the part online and did it myself. 3 screws, 1 electrical connector, and 1 Youtube video later, my fan was quiet again!
From what I read, the fan was found to be defective in its design. The bearings would start to fail and then, boom, noisy fan. I was only a few thousand miles outside the factory warranty, so I was out of luck on that count. It turned out to be super simple to fix on my own.
