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 check engine light started flashing soon after the engine shuddered at highway speeds. Had to tow the car the next day to the service station as this happened on a Sunday. The car took 7 weeks to be fixed at the service center and I was driving a rental for the time (covered under warranty). All they found that the piston had cracked and didn't find out the root cause of the problem. They swapped the short block and returned it after 7 WEEKS!!!
