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?
Never liked Michelin tires but that is not science.
These tires went from 34 to 25-28 in one day after we hit our first 40 degree fall day, then the week after they went to 40 after the temp went back up.
May have nothing to do with anything but I have never seen this level of swing before. Also since owning the car, not one but two flats, never had a flat in any tire for 15 years, 100's of thousands of miles so once again, post cognitive dissonance here for sure but my guess is the tensile strength of these tires suck and they puncture too easy.
Am I projecting my feelings or just chance. One can only guess but lets see if I can make it to the projected mileage and not have to purchase rubber prematurely.
