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.
And much like the power steering, we’re still seeing the same throttle body failures that started in 2010 continue in 2012.

I was involved in a rear end accident yesterday while coming off the highway offramp. A soda can was under my brake pedal making it impossible to slow down. I rear ended a vehicle stopped at the light, I was going 35 -40 mph. Both vehicles were totalled and I hit my head on the windshield because the air bags never deployed.
All 4 center caps/hub caps were loose and 2 fell off while I was cleaning the tires. Ford dealership replaced all 4 plastic center caps. Part number 9E5Z 1130A.
It all started with slipping and movement in the front left tire. It so happened to be the axle and steering knuckle. As I was doing a tire rotation I noticed that the rear left tire has a wavy inside pattern worn out and the right rear tire is worn out from the inside. From my understanding all the wheels have to be adjusted correctly because if I were to buy a new set of tires they will be worn out the same way I found the original set and all tires should be worn out evenly if there is not a problem with the alignment in all four wheels. I also noticed that the front right tire has huge slits/cuts inside the tire. This is uncommon and abnormal for being a 2012 vehicle and being the original manufacturer tires.
