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?
My backup camera began malfunctioning randomly about 3 months after the warranty ran out. Once it got to be really annoying (would only work 1 day a week if I was lucky) I took it to the dealership. They couldn’t figure out the problem, and ended up doing an update and reset on my SYNC system. The camera worked normally for about a week and then slowly began messing up again. Sometimes the screen wouldn't change at all (it would stay on the four sections while I was in reverse), sometimes the screen would go all black, and sometimes it would scroll and be fuzzy. It started by only happening once or twice a week. Within a month it was happening 3-4/5 times of being in reverse. I took it back to the dealership. They said they did get an error code for the camera, but they checked all the wiring and couldn’t find a problem, so they believe it is the camera. They want to charge me over $700 for a new camera.
I can't really comment much on the crash. My girlfriend at the time was driving the car. Stating her phone was connected to the mytouch system and her GPS was screwing up. That's all I could get out of that incident However, the Radio, Phone My touch system is very annoying and a pain in the rear. The Radio doesn't come back on after calls, the phone doesn't connect after interring the car randomly disconnects, This car has so many damn issues it pathetic. Oh I got more.
I should be able to set a keyless entry code through MyFord Touch. I can get to the screen to input the factory code and i input the code and hit enter and nothing happens.
