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.

The Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) is a mess. It fails at an alarming rate. Don’t believe us? Take a look at NHTSA’s data on the subject.

And much like the power steering, we’re still seeing the same throttle body failures that started in 2010 continue in 2012.

The battery died. We charged it and when we turned the car on, the stereo and the lighter charger were not working. Got a new battery and the problem is still there. Checked all the fuses and they are all good.

Ford would not replace the battery that was just put in the car on 12/3/14, they wanted me to pay for a new battery. This is now the 3rd battery that my car has gone through with the same issue. Ford still does not think there is a problem
