On 1/25/21 the vehicle power steering completely locked up and the car was towed to Ford dealership for fix. Ford fixed and car was picked up on 1/27/21. This happened at mileage of 67593 while my teenage son was driving putting him and his passenger in danger of an accident. On 9/13/21 once again the vehicle power steering completely locked up and the car was towed to a Ford dealership to fix and car was picked up on 9/16/21. This event happened at mileage of 74341 again while my teenage son was driving putting him and his passenger in danger of an accident. On 10/11/21 for the 3rd time the power steering went again and the car is currently at a Ford dealership to be fixed. This time the mileage is at 74544 and again my son was driving this vehicle putting him in danger of having an accident. On all 3 of these instances the warning lamp came on immediately before the loss of power steering. My concern is clearly the fix being performed is not solving the problem, putting my teenage son at risk of an accident.

Defrost/ac/vents blow out hot air regardless of settings...found this to be a very common issue online and an expensive permanent fix...vents/defrost/ac may be tricked into working if lights are turned on before starting (thinks it's nighttime or cover up light sensor on dash)

Power steering assist came on and the steering went out

- Joppa, AL, USA

Throttle body stays opend causing wrench to pop up on dash and car to no longer accelerate while in traffic. This is very dangerous.. also the throttle body actuator is faulty. I've had multiple people say they have this exact issue with the Fusion.. not to mention the tension pulley makes the car while in many Ford Fusion cars...

My vehicle has been stalling while I am either driving on a highway, turning or stopped at a light. This is extremely dangerous while driving on the highways in NJ.

My 2012 Ford Fusion is revving high and shifting weird. Not like slipping but it's revving a lot if her then it should be. Also the tachometer shudders every now and then at 1600 RPM. My father told me there's a lot of problems with the Ford Fusion transmissions and I don't feel safe with my wife and kids driving it.

I brought this unit at an auction, but the wheel continues to look on me.... now several lights are on including check engine.

The inside drivers door handle breaks and makes it impossible to exit the car without rolling down the window and using the outside door handle. This is very dangerous and makes exiting the car in an emergency difficult and could lead to injury. This appears to be fairly common with the Ford Fusion.

- Chantilly, VA, USA

I stopped to get gas, put my car in park, and shut the car off. It started rolling forward as I was trying to get out. I leaped back in and hit the brake and put the emergency brake on. After that, the car wouldn't start because it was registering that the car was in reverse even though the gear shift was in park. I went into the gear shift area by pulling off the center console and manually put it in neutral so I could start the car and drove it to the Ford dealership for them to look at it. I did some research and saw that similar issues were found in 2013 and newer Ford Fusion and they were recalled. I'm thinking the 2012 year Ford Fusion should be included in this recall.

Unable to open drivers side door from inside - drivers side electric door locks and inside handle will not open door. Must put window down and reach out side to open door

- Blacklick, OH, USA

The interior door handle can can break internally when exposed to high temperatures such as a hot summer day on a regular basis. The plastic used off-gases and loses structural integrity over time unfil failure occurs potentially trapping a person who is unable to reach the exterior handle in the vehicle. According to my research this is a pattern of happenings with the 2012 Ford Fusion due to a change by Ford in door handle construction. Repairs are often ineffective as it is replaced with a similar part that fails in the same manner.

I had a leak under the front of the car, staining my driveway. Even after having the ptu replaced, I still had a leak. I only realized it was leaking when I had to park in a different location in my driveway. I brought it to another garage. Found out that the transmission tube were rusted, thus leaking transmission fluid. The garage replaced the transmission tubes, and replaced all the fluid.
