CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2013 Fusion doesn’t have the same track record of power steering failure as the previous 3 model years. Of course, those owners said their steering failed at 60k–100k miles. So this appears to be a classic "wait and see" scenario.
In the meantime, there’s plenty of interior accessory problems to complain about. By themselves, each is a barely a blip on the radar. But combined, they give you that feeling of what the hell have I gotten myself into?
A dealer rep told me it was probably the "part sticker" on the exhaust or catalytic converter (made in China) and the glue from that sticker "burning off". When I was talking to both this person and his manager, he totally disclaimed giving me this information. Now this dealership and another are saying "what smell". It gives me a headache within three seconds of sniffing it.
