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?

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I was driving car into a parking stall. Stopped, put car in P, turned off engine and release the foot brake...and the car started rolling forward. Applying the foot brake stopped the rolling, however, when I tried to start the car to back it up, the error message read (something like) "transmission not in park, cannot start car". the shifter was clearly in park, so I jiggled it without any success. The car would not start or come out of P (on the shifter). When the emergency roadside assistance from geico got to the car, it was determined that the transmission linkage had failed. They were able to zip tie the connection, so I could take it to a repair shop (where it is right now). It appears that this linkage piece is definitely a "weak link" in a critical system. No accident, but very much a serious problem. The car has about 41,000 miles on it.
