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?
Car is normally garaged. Black car left in sun as played golf, after sitting in sun on two occasions it failed to start. One time doors, truck and other key fob items failed to allow entry to car. Had to get in by putting in door code. 2nd time it failed to start, only after leaving and coming back in evening did it start. It is at dealer today.
This is the second time we’ve had electrical problems with this car. First it was the door locks, not covered by recall or warranty. Cost us $350.00 to fix. Now we have a problem where the radio and a/c doesn’t work. It’s frustrating because we really like this car. Ford needs to fix these problems without charging the customer. It sounds like there is some basic problems that Ford needs to fix .
when the interior gets hot, the car loses all power
I purchased this 2013 Ford Fusion in December 2015 and it was fine until this summer. The first really hot day in the sun and after being on the road for a few hours, I parked my car and went inside. Came back out to run to the store and the car lost all power except for the motor. Radio, air, the dashboard, the driver side controls to the rest of the car completely stopped working.
