Automotive Warning Lights: Multiple Light Syndrome (dash indicator lights) - at times while my vehicle is running all the warning lights start coming on and my steering wheel starts to get tough to turn (almost like it doesn't have power steering at all). The only thing that takes it off is if I shut off my car and restart it. This happens almost 5 times a week. It will show ABS, power steering, check engine and a bunch of other things. Just had the bolts that were recalled on the steering wheel fixed but this is still an ongoing issue. The vehicle only has 58000 miles.

On july 5th when I got in my vehicle to go to work I tried to start the car and at first it wouldn't start. Tried again and the car started and then many warning lights flashed on the dashboard. Power steering assist fault and traction control on. And told o service immediately.I tried backing out of my garage but steering wheel was completely locked up and unable to steer. Had the car towed to dealership after 5 days was called back and was told the he power steering rack would have to be replaced and the battery was bad too. For a total cost of $2600. From other reports online his happens frequently with fusions. There was a recall for the steering rack by my model was not included. Only 42,000 miles on car with regular driving and parked in garage when not in use. Vehicle should not have failed this quickly. If I was driving when this happened I would have had not control and most likely would have crashed.

While going in reverse down an incline all the dash lights turn on and steering locks up. This also happens when turning and braking at the same time. On the city streets is when it was first notice. After having the dealer computer read out and my repair shop read out both said the same thing. This repair had to be made. Right front passenger side wheel ABS sensor and harness and had to remove and replace the wheel speed ABS sensor and harness. I have uploaded all repair/bill and diagnostics on this 2015 car. No recalls for this problem have been reported to the maker as of yet and I have called the maker of this car's customer service dept and also on line to the facebook website and have filed a report.

Upon returning from a long trip and approximately 3 miles from home, the steering wheel of the car began to vibrate heavily and as I turned a corner, the dashboard lit up like a christmas tree and I lost my power steering. The info on the dashboard informed me the vehicle had lost the power steering and traction control and I was to seek service immediately. By driving slowly, I was able to make it home steering manually. The dealer was notified immediately and they arranged to tow the car to the dealership. Two days later I was contacted by the dealership and informed the steering gear had failed and would need to be replaced. Because of the serious nature of this defect and the fact that I had just purchased the car new on 6/15/15, I requested a replacement vehicle but was told ford would not do that. I contacted ford corp. And my case was turned over to the regional mgr. Of this area and he also informed me that the car would not be bought back but would be repaired under warranty. As compensation my new car warranty was extended to 5 years. I shudder to think what might have happened to my wife and myself had this steering failure had happened at the highway speeds we had just been traveling and am now nervous about the overall quality of this vehicle. I feel the public should be made aware of the potential of this dangerous, serious defect in the ford fusion.

I was driving southbound on I-75 almost to perrysburg in the middle lane and my car completely shut off. My car was still in drive, but all the lights on my dash went black and when I pressed on the gas pedal I wasn't going anywhere. There was a truck next to me in the right hand lane, I waited for it to pass and then got over. I finally made it to the shoulder and put my car in park. I then waited a couple minutes and restarted my car.
