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.

problem #2

Jan 302014

Fusion SEL 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 26,000 miles

My two front windows and my sun roof opened on their own after turning the car off, I am afraid to take this car many places and it is the middle of winter!!

Update from Feb 1, 2014: I visited my local dealer yesterday and discovered there is a key function that causes this to happen.

If you press the unlock button on the key fob for a count of 5 seconds this will cause the windows and moon roof to open.

We did this and that is exactly what happened!!

problem #1

Fusion

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,000 miles

Went out to garage one day and noticed that both front windows were all the way down and the moon roof was open (not fully but the partially open setting). I know I did not leave it like that. Similar issue with the windows being down (not how I left them) happened at least 2 times before. I called the dealership and they said they had never heard of anything like this. I searched the web and found a handful of others who have experienced the same problem, unfortunately for some the issue happened when the car was outside and it rained. It has never happened to me when the car was not in my garage but am uncomfortable now to leave it anywhere other than the garage until the problem is solved.
