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.

I did NOT use a mechanic. Twice the rat has chewed the spark plug wiring which sits on top of engine, easy for me to reach. The cost of the little plastic connector pigtails is a ripoff!! I'm out $50 (per connector) plus my time. I also use pure peppermint oil, not cheap, and spray the engine area and hood insulation. I would love it if car makers use a wiring that rats don't like.
