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.
Summer in Arizona IS NOT the time to have your a/c fail. It did on my Fusion. I brought it in for repair at a shop I used to use and they traced the problem to the a/c wiring harness that was replaced by a FMC supplied replacement.
Less than a month later, it again failed. Covered under warranty by the shop, they did a little more digging and found (I don't know what they did to further research the problem) and ended up installing a thicker, better grade wiring harness that has been trouble-free since the second inconvenient need to be without the car for a day or more.
I don't know if there was a potential fire hazard or just the inconvenience of not have a/c in an Arizona mid-summer day but having to deal with the problem in the first place and then having to again in a relatively short period of time have to deal with it again was certainly not a fun set of days.
