Power steering and traction control were lost. I was just told by the dealership service department that it was because I had the spare tire on my vehicle.

The trac control engages sporadically and car will not respond. This is a very dangerous issue and needs to be addressed by Ford. If you pull out into traffic to merge and this happens it will/could cause an accident.

After owning my 2011 Ford Fusion for several weeks, the “service advancetrac soon� light came on. The dealer ran a diagnosis on the car and it was showing a steering angle sensor bad. When they ordered the part and tried to install, this model did not have one. After three days in service and numerous calls to Ford, the dealer was told to reset system and see if it happens again. If it does, they will try to research further. .
