The 2011 Ford Fusion is equipped with power steering sensors, which are essential for smooth lane changes and maneuvering on the road. However, over time, issues may arise. Steering fluid leaks, causing the vehicle to veer to one side or the steering wheel to become stuck. Problems with strut bearings, rack mounts, and the steering pump can also occur, leading to potential disasters for your vehicle. It is recommended to replace the power steering fluid every 75,000 miles and listen for any unusual noises coming from the steering components. A faulty bearing will produce an unpleasant sound, while a loose bearing will create an annoying noise.
The 2011 Ford Fusion is equipped with Electronic Power Assisted Steering (EPAS), which keeps an eye on the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) to detect steering effort, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), and a Torque Sensor along with a Steering Wheel Position Sensor. A recall was issued for these components due to occasional power loss, causing drivers to switch to manual steering.
