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?
the front fenders leak sand, gravel, ice, and snow from the wheel wells under the hood. Every Fusion owner look under the hood and see the dirt marks from the sand and mud and snow on the bottom of the hood and you will find dirt and sand. It will fill up the space between the fender and anything along the inside of the fender. The rear is just as bad as there are small holes in the rear fender will trap sand and salt from the roads. You have to put a hose in there to wash it out. Poor design.
