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 I bought my car in Oct.2016 from a dealership.I asked them if it had any recalles they said no.I drove my car for 2 years when I found out that it did. I was told about it in April 2018 Ford put me in a rential when I asked Ford Motor Co. After being in the car for 5 months. They said they dont have a fix for it yet. When I asked for a deadline they said that it would not be till the end of 20018 or mid 2019. I tryed to trade it in or sale it and no one would buy it bc of recall so I had to turn it in. To us auto credit and find a new car.I hade to put down $2000. This has put my familey in a bad place it has messed up my credit. We were going to buy a house and bc of this it has messed up my chance to do so.

Takata recall. I received mail stating there was a recall involving defective airbags that could cause potential harm or death upon impact. I made an appointment with the Ford dealership closest to me to make an appointment for a replacement. Ten days went by and I called to check the progress and I was told the items were unavailable until the end of December. Currently I feel like I am unable to drive my vehicle because of the danger it poses to me and any of my passengers. And it looks like I wont't be able to drive again for several weeks.
