2013 Ford Fusion was purchased certified preowned by an independent dealership called carsense(www.carsense.com) in Pennsylvania in March 2015 with 8K miles on it. Three year 36K mile warranty expired in February 2016. The car at time of power-steering failure was sitting in a private covered parking garage with 25K miles on it. The car is only used for leisure driving and is well maintained. After this happened I had it towed to a independent car service shop who was honest enough to call a Ford dealership whose representative eluded the Ford may take the corrective actions on this, after a $150 tow to this dealer shop the Ford dealer department denied ever having claimed they would help and refused to help in any way. The Ford dealers rational: 1) the car was purchased from an independent dealer 2) warranty was expired 3) they required a $120 examination fee, even though the independent dealer had already done this. When all was said an done the electronic power steering rack and pinion assembly had to be completely replaced totaling $2106.69. This unplanned failure(right after the warranty expires) seems to be very common with Ford and I am very disappointed with their quality.

While operating my vehicle through a puddle of water, power steering would shut down. There was no warning of the power steering failure as it abruptly shut down making it difficult to control vehicle, especially when turning. Upon restarting vehicle, power steering would function properly until vehicle passed through another puddle of water. Cycled through this issue several times until vehicle would not recover from power steering fault. Now Ford dealership is requiring that I replace steering rack to remedy the problem.

My three year old 2013 Ford Fusion is experiencing intermittent issues with the steering control. During normal driving in town and on the highways, the steering wheel feels as if something is binding when you try to make slight adjustments to the steering wheel. When the binding is felt, it takes more effort to steer the vehicle than normal and the binding will only last for a couple of seconds before returning to normal steering. The dealer checked the car and found that it is experiencing an intermittent loss of electrical signal between the steering gear and the computer. It appears to be the same problem as the one that caused Ford to recall their 2011 to 2012 Ford Fusion in may of 2015. Ford needs to expand their earlier recall to include model year 2013 Ford Fusion as this problem should not be occurring in a car that is barely three years old.
