| Description of the problem | The 2006- 2012 mercury milan and ford fusion are very likely to loose power steering and brakes. Due to the the way the belt tensioner is mounted on the engine is it very common that the bolt holding the pulley in place will snap causing accesories to shut off due to the belt falling off, ford will not take care of it, myself and hundred of others are having this issue as i went to forums online and found alot of people have the same issue, these are very safe dependable cars until this started happeing to all of us, if you are unsure as to if you should believe, start a poll with the owners of vehicles mentioned and others made by ford motors, its found to be very common. |
