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.

Takata recall my car was recalled but my dealer "ken wilson Ford" in canton North Carolina does not have the part. After attempting to have the repair completed the service manager jay told me to continue using the vehicle and I would be contacted in the future if a part became available. My concern is since there was no mention of a safety issue by the service manager that the repair will not be properly done once they do have the parts. Can you help me find someone we can trust to make the repair properly once parts are available?

Takata recall. Ford has not got the parts necessary to make the repair. I scheduled to have this done 6 weeks ago. Now they say it will be June before they get to it since they don't have the parts. Is there a time limit as to when they are supposed to have the repairs made ?

I had an accident with my car.it was basically a T bone accident to a large SUV. It was a really bad accident but surprised that the air bags didn't deploy. I ended up going to the emergency and was told that I have muscle inflammation. I also hit the bottom of my right leg and have multiple bruises. I was wearing seatbelt that helped me but no airbag was activated.

While driving down the highway last night an alarm went off on my dash reading: "service power steering now" seconds later a second warning dinged explaining to "service advance trac". as well a picture lit up on the dash representing "advancetrac" service. My car started to veer right while I was holding the steering wheel. I tried straightening back to avoid hitting the cars next to me but the steering wheel was way off track, not aligned with my tires. This has never happened before so I am very concerned. Once I was able to get home safely I looked up the issue & theres a recall for some of my exact car models. I checked my tires, reset my battery turned the wheel but no change and my car is still in good condition. The air bag sign is on now & has not went off. I have had another recall failure in the past that started while driving in the middle of traffic. I just hope I dont die during the next system failure.

Takata recall - Ford is limiting the number of airbags being sent to the dealership here in roanoke va to 6 per week. This will make it some 10 to 12 weeks before my car is repaired. Additionally, I have asked a number of times here and at the Ford dealership in manassas va if my vehicle was involved in this problem, and was always told no. Why was Ford allowed to hold back on this problem for so long" was there a coverup by Ford of the problem"
