Two problems related to steering idler arm have been reported for the 2007 Ford Fusion. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2007 Ford Fusion based on all problems reported for the 2007 Fusion.
Idler pulley bolts failed causing loss of power steering and alternator. Vehicle was stationary at the time. If this happened while driving on a highway, vehicle would be difficult to steer. This is the second time this part has failed in 6 months.
The idler pulley bolt broke off and pulled the belt off (the belt did not break) making me lose power steering, and of course the battery would not hold a charge. This happend June 8, 2013, June 23, 2013 and again on September 11, 2013. Ford is telling me that there is no problem but the dealer that fixed my car the 1st two times now has it again and has a call into Ford to see what the problem could be that it has happend to me 3 times in the past 2 1/2 months. All 3 times I was driving when it happened. The second 2 times it happened I heard a pop almost like I ran something over and immediatley lost power steering. It almost has me afraid to put my kids in my car. Unfortunately I only have one car and can't afford a new one.
