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?

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
It began raining hard and the wipers were on high speed, but when they moved outward I could not see because water was blinding me, had to slow down to about 40mph just to avoid running off road or into a car. Could not see out windshield at all. I have never had wipers like these, and I don't feel safe in my car in rain. Going to see if Ford can change intermittent wipers out to what most cars have. If not then we may have to get rid of this car. Driving blind is what it's like driving in heavy rain.
Please note, this form would not allow me to select wipers as the affected part. The only option that appeared was wheels. Please correct if possible. While driving, snow that had accumulated on the roof of the car slid on the windshield. The motion of the wipers pushed the snow down and towards the center of the windshield. The snow prohibited the wipers to move in either direction causing me to not be able to see the road. The design of the wipers appears to allow excess snow to be forced in the lower middle portion of the windshield causing the wipers to not be able to reverse direction if when the control lever is toggled.
