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.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Fusion. While driving approximately 15-20 mph in inclement weather, the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to slow the vehicle down within a safe distance. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the brake pads needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The brake pads were replaced three additional times. Additionally, the contact stated that the seal around the windshield failed and water leaked from the windshield down behind the dashboard. The contact stated that an appointment was scheduled to have the vehicle repaired; however, a loaner vehicle would not be provided. Several unknown dealers and the manufacturer were called and informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
