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.

fuel nozzle stuck in the tank fuel nozzle stuck in the tank

Got the the fuel nozzle stuck in the tank neck. Gas station lady called the fire dept who could not get it off (consider the cost for the community because of Ford!). I had to drive to the Ford Service to fix it: they removed it but they had the tank damaged (411 dollars only the part to be replaced). I had to drive with a fuel spilling tank. Dozen of cases out there on Internet, the capless system is definitely an issue but our beloved Ford does not want to admit it, waiting for someone to die in a burning car to get the issue addressed. Customer care contacted... Opened a file! NHTSA. Called insurance. Got my lawyer on it!
