I just bought a used Ford Fusion SEL 2006 FWD with 131,000km (81,400 miles) and noticed that the steering is stiff relative to the Ford Escape FWD (4 cyl). The salesman said that the "stiffness" is a typical behaviour for the Ford Fusion. However, according to the User Manual (pg 163) "..the steering in your vehicle is speed sensitive. At high speeds, steering assist will decrease to improve steering feel. At lower speeds, maneuverability will be increased". I'm not noticing any difference in steering maneuverability between highway and city driving -- the steering is stiff all the time. What would cause this problem? Also, I disagree with the Salesman 's opinion regarding the steering behaviour of the Ford Fusion. What is your opinion on the salesman's statement? Related to the steering issue, there is a slight pulling (drifting) to the right while driving on the highway. I've taken into consideration the crown in the road and tested for alignment on different sections on the highway and, in all cases, the car drifts to the right. Thanks in advanced... Ray -
I have a 2011 fusion SE. the the alignment has been a little off, pulling the car to the right while holding the wheel straight, causing me to have to turn the wheel a little to the left to actually drive straight. The dealer did an alignment and but nothing was corrected. when i asked them about it they told me that fusions are prone to drifting and there was nothing they could do. They also told me that there was no way for them or any other ford dealer to duplicate the exact factory setting for the electronic power steering system that's in the fusion. Has anyone else had this problem or am i just getting the run around from my dealer???
