I pulled in my driveway, parked 2011 ford fusion and then shut vehicle off. I returned, started vehicle, went to start driving my vehicle out of driveway and the car started beeping and listed that the power steering did not work. I looked it up online and there was a recall for steering: electric power assist system failure (15v340000 or 15s18). I took to dealership and will attach quote which their recommendation…

When i turn or go over bumps the car makes a loud squeeking/grinding noise. This started to occur after my power steering assist was replaced a month ago. Several reviews also state this is a very expensive fix. My car only has 60k miles on it for a 2011. This is completely unacceptable!

The vehicle has started making very loud creaking noises when going over a bump or when turning the steering wheel, typically heard more when at lower speeds. The dealer indicated it's the lower control arm is safe for now; however, was recalled on the 2013-2014 fusions. In addition, my door handle/latch also stopped working today while stationary. The door is not latching properly. This recall also affected the…

Front passenger side coil spring over the wheel found borken. Had to replace the coil spring. Shop suggested replacing the strut as well, and also told us that this should ba a mold problem and had happened to a lot of ford, chevy, and 07-09 honda, but ford never issued a recall. There happens to be a chevy truck next to us with a broken coil spring.

When driving at low speeds, vehicle creaks consistently. Have been told by ford the front control arms need to be replaced. Has been an issue since 60,000 miles. Unacceptable to be quoted over $1000 to fix all control arms on a car with that many miles. Common problem in this model. We have replaced the worst control arms as they have gone bad, but still need to repair the remainder. Vehicle now has 125,xxx miles

Squeaking noise coming from front axle (mostly on driver side) while driving and turning; sounds the most when outside temperature is higher (not so loud on cool days). Took it to dealer that sold the car (today 04/25/2016) to have suspension and power steering checked. I see online there are recalls on some ford fusion power steering? My vin is not listed.

My vehicle started sounding like something was rubbing. So i had it inspected and was told that the lower control arms on my passenger side where both damaged and in need of replacement but that my vehicle was much to new for these parts to have worn out . It will cost me $645 to repair!
