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?
My husband was driving our 2013 Ford Fusion (with 99,000 miles) down the road. He saw a "Transmission is not in park" warning. Then the car turned itself off!
He brought it to a stop and started it again and drove home. Luckily he was on a country lane with good visibility. But were he around a bend or on a freeway, this problem could kill someone.
We don't dare drive it now.
I will have it towed to the Ford dealer for inspection.
