Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving on the highway steering wheel became very loose. I was fearful it was going to come off in my hands. I took it Ford and they fixed it. The charged me. It looks like this is becoming a common problem with this year fusion and not isolated to me as I was told by Ford.I have a video of the steering wheel problem but it is not in a format this site accepts.”
NHTSA complaint #11040510, filed 2017-10, 50,000 miles“I had to have my 2014 Ford fusion repaired on 11/14/17 due to the steering wheel coming loose. I got into my car to drive home on 11/13/17 and noticed that the steering wheel jiggled. I drove 60 miles home. I took it to our mechanic the next day and he said that it was barely hanging on.”
NHTSA complaint #11046213, filed 2017-11, 76,196 miles“While driving on the highway, the power steering failed. With difficulty, I was able to get the vehicle home. It was especially difficult to turn the vehicle at lower speeds after I left the freeway. The next day, I turned on the car and the steering was working again. For a couple miles, then the power steering loss resumed. I carefully drove it to the dealership on monday, where it remains.”
NHTSA complaint #10763372, filed 2015-09, 22,500 miles“Steering wheel suddenly became loose while driving down local street. Was driving at 20 miles per hour. The more I drove, the looser steering wheel became. Was able to return to my home. Will take to dealership for evaluation. Updated 8/6/18”
NHTSA complaint #11045369, filed 2017-11, 58,000 miles“I went out to start my vehicle and got warning lights, steering assist needs attention, hill start assist needs attention. Service vehicle. I had no power steering at this point and had to tow the vehicle to the dealer. Just out of warranty at 37k miles. The steering gear had to be replaced. This sounds very similar to what has been happening in the Ford fusion models which had a recall, but no recall on the hybrids! I'm thankful it happened in my driveway and not on the highway.”
