I just bought a Ford Fusion SEL 2006 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 driving 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.

 

Thanks in advanced,....

Ray
