Buying the 2009 Fusion understanding the power steering was faulty, thinking a good tune up and general fluids replaced would handle the problem. However this was not the case. Fusion needed rack n pinion and power steering pump. I can not drive the vehicle due to this issue(s) Their was a terrible bad accident and the vehicle is now salvaged title. This is now second time rack n pinion out and I will harm others and myself as I can not make turns. I am extremely disappointed with Ford MFG and will seek all monetary claims for not backing up their vehicles. Ashamed and less than is my thoughts on Ford Fusions!

When you press break pedal to stop the vehicle, break pedal goes all the way to the floor, very sotf and tha car doesn't stop. Very big and serious issue.

After hitting a bumpy road my brakes went to the floor and stopping power just went away. Checked at shop. All pads replaced. Fluid changed completely twice. Master cyl and hoses not leaking, now I have really weak braking system from the federally mandated system 49 cfr 571.135 - standard no. 135 that is installed in my car and cant get it repaired. Do I just throw a car I bought brand new away? Mileage 88000 started now at 92000. New tires and talked to ford house but no one will commit to any answers. Have a student trying to drive this car in college and around town. Roads are rough from drought and constantly trying to pump brakes but it makes no difference while driving. If just starting off for the day a lot of times you have good brakes until something happens and they just go away. Hard to watch road,speed people and pump brakes all the time. Lets go . Step up and do your job........... No injuries yet close calls at traffic lights.

My vehicle has had multiple tire pressure sensor issues. All 4 have been replaced once and two have been replaced twice in the course of 9 months. One time the sensor became loose and began clunking around inside the rim. It was only an expensive annoyance until yesterday. While driving at 65 to 70 MPH on a 4 lane interstate highway, the tire pressure sensor broke off. At that time it began to spin around within the wheel well/rim. This caused a violent vibration in the steering of the vehicle and made it impossible to keep going straight without slowing to 50mph. This was a back tire and I shutter to think of what would have happened had it been in the front. Ford motor company doesn't have a known issue or recall for this problem. I am at the point where I won't transport my children in the vehicle because of this fear of losing all control of steering. I also wonder what would have happened if I was breaking at the exact moment it broke and effected steering. This issue is a safety hazard and I can see great bodily harm or death resulting from similar situations.

While attempting to make a u-turn to the left the steering suddenly fought against me in the middle of the turn and tried to straighten its self out. I'm a big guy and held the steering wheel, but someone with less strength would have lost control and crashed.

Driving down road in city, 25 MPH, approaching intersection to make right turn, began turning and halfway through turn the steering wheel locked in place and I could not complete the turn. Luckily no car was in left lane at light or I would have hit it. Stopped car just before hitting curb and building. Shut off, restarted and was able to get steering to work again. Taking to shop for evaluation.
