    AC does not work, the climate control module is the problem. when you switch the AC on it only blows heat. The fix would be a new climate control module.

    While I was driving my 2012 Ford Fusion with my two children I lost power steering. Barely made it to side of busy road. The Service Advancetrac AND Power Steering Assist Message displayed AFTER losing power steering. After restarting the car power steering is back and no warning messages. Called local Ford dealer who did not see any recalls for issue or seem to know about this issue. Stated it "shouldn't" be an issue as the car is running like normal and scheduled appointment for a month away.
