Front rotors warped. Dealer turned them on a lathe Windshield wipers would get stuck straight up on the freeway at 70mph. Dealer replaced blades and “adjusted” wiper motors. Wipers never fixed , the dealer just keeps doing what they call adjusting them but that really is a bandaid not a fix. Rear rotors warped causing vibration at higher speeds. Dealer said couldn’t help since out of warranty. Many others are experiencing the same issues with the Fusion Sport on our Facebook group.

I have taken it to the dealership a couple times now. At around 40-45 mph the steering wheel will shake and I can feel the shake from the driver seat. Also, when make turns I can hear and feel something catching in the steering. When pulling into a parking spot I can hear a aluminum hitting something sound. Took it to the dealership and they of course say the vibration seems normal and that they could not replicate the sound.
