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?

2013 FUSION IS UNSAFE CAR IF BUILT BEFORE DEC.2012
The 2013 Fusion built after Dec. 2012 is safe, but before that date is unsafe? In December 2012 Ford added reinforcing to the Fusion to make it safe.
Does this mean to get the safest car for a year you have to wait until the last production for that year. If manufacturers are changing the cars all year I will wait until the end of the year to purchase a new car.
Is Ford going to recall the Fusion built before December 2012 and reinforce so it will be a safe car? I am afraid to drive this car. I would like to get rid of it if it can not be fixed.
I need this car to be fixed or replaced.
The Ford Fusion built before Dec 2012 may be safe, but not as safe as one built after Dec 2012.
They need to recall the older cars to make them as safe as the newer cars.
