I had Ford look at it and they said it needs a new Steering Gear which is going to cost $1975. $1450 for the part and labor and tax makes it $1975. So much for this low mileage Ford Fusion I got myself into. Also I've read this issue is very common and the dealer told me this as well. I don't understand why mine can't be under recall when it has the same issue as all of the other ones in this time. Thanks for all the help guys.

I checked the battery and it was change in January of this year. The power steering went completely out today. I'm driving with muscle arms right now and both errors won't go away no matter what I do. I checked the fuses and they are all good. I also hooked up my OBD reader with Forscan and got some results but I don't know what they mean. Ford can't see the car until Monday so I hope this isn't a costly fix. I just purchased the car a few months ago.

I haven't bought the battery yet but I've gotten the Power steering error and the advancetrac error today. I plugged in my fixd reader and it said an eror that states "Steering angle position sensor invalid" Seems I remember the carfax saying that the 12v battery was replaced last year but I don't have it to look at it anymore. Should I still spend a lot on a battery? Thanks for your help.

I've had my 2011 for a few months now. It's in very good condition with 40k miles. Since I've had it when I start the car a red error message shows up saying something about a power steering failure and it's almost impossible to turn the wheel. I then turn the car off then back on and it goes away and everything is fine for a while then randomly it will do the same thing again. It only does this on start up and goes away when I turn the car off and back on. I've never had the power steering go out while driving. The other error that has popped up about three times since owning it is this advance trac error and the traction control and some other light comes on in yellow. Usually turning the car off for a little bit and back on makes this go away. This one starting happening recently but has happened a few times. Does anyone know if I should try something to fix this? Does it sound just like a sensor issue or is there another major underlying issue that is common with these errors. It seems like it if was major it would cause some issue while I'm driving but the car drives great with no issues. One other error I've gotten in a yellow big wrench symbol when I was going about 78mph on the highway. It went away when I turned the car off and on and I haven't seen it since. I drove all day today on the highway and haven't seen this again. Just worried with all these little errors popping up and going away that something bad might be wrong?

I haven't noticed any acceleration lag with mine. It's not the fastest car in the world but not too bad.

So I've been driving the car for a couple weeks now since purchase and I'm averaging 31.5 mpgs. I also set my battery age to 1 using the obd dongle. I notice that if I have the car on cruise at 40mph or 35mph it will just run on the engine unless I hit the cruise button to go down 1 or 2 mphs. At this point the car will start to drive in EV mode. It seems like I have to force it into EV mode by decelerating some and then setting the cruise or decelerating then just drive normally then the EV will stay on for a short time. I'm not seeing it cycling back and forth when I'm cruising. Is this normal behavior? Seems like i have to manage it going into EV mode rather than the car just cycling and managing EV mode. It will go into EV mode in just coasting, going down hill, or stopping but doesn't seem to want to go into EV mode while setting the cruise or just driving without cruise control on unless I first decelerate a little bit then cruise after the deceleration.

Thanks for the info. I was worried about mine because of the MPGs being low and it always shows the RPM mode when I'm driving even at slow speeds or cruising. I don't see it cycling to EV unless I coast, am stopped or going down hill coasting. Is this pretty normal behavior? I can be going really any speed like 5mph or 30mph cruising and it will still just show the RPMs. I barley push the pedal and the RPMs and engine kicks on.

I'm not sure if it sat for a while or not. I'm assuming it did with the low miles. I live in South Carolina so it's not cold but it is hotter this time of year but even so I keep the car in the garage and it's not super hot in the mornings on the way to work and it's doing the same thing so not sure what it is right now. Carvana has a 1 month warranty so I might just get it looked at if it keeps happening.

The date inside the drivers side door says 08/10. The battery level thing does seems to always be in the middle. I've never seen it go any higher. The EV green thing is always on the bottom. I do have the OBD usb reader coming in Sunday so I'm thinking about trying that fix out to see if it fixes the issue.

I just bought a 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid off of Carvana with 36k miles. The car drives great and I've never owned a hybrid before but I did notice the rpm thing comes on every time i hit the pedal at all and the EV thing shows when i'm coasting or stopped. I also noticed my MPG is not good. I'm averaging 30 mpgs after 2 days of driving in my city so far. I'm assuming I have the same issue as everyone else has I hope. I have a few more days to return it to Carvana in the trial period but I don't want to return it because it was a good price and I really like the car. Seems the battery is ok but I hope just having the same issue as you guys are having.
