I'm having the same problem right now. At first it happened about a year ago then it went away. Now it happened again and it won't give. I took out the battery and put it back but still the same problem. All the lights are on and my steering wheel needs superman to turn it.

Having the exact same issue with my girl's 2013 Fusion. From what I've been researching on different forums, most Fords are having this same issue with few variations. The dealerships in general are of no help, claiming "we've never seen this before", however, with hundreds and hundreds of complaints, it's just another Ford coverup. With that said, I've read that the instrument cluster is a root cause, but after being replaced on some the problem still exists. Others have had pin connectors resoldered in the main wiring harness for the ABS system with some success. Since Ford uses some of the same harnesses in a few vehicles I would tend to see the harness as the most viable cause, but not on all. Others claim Ford has "found" that remote start systems are the cause. At this point I am telling my girl to get rid of this hunk of shit and not take a chance on getting in a wreck when the power steering fails again. Personally, I feel Ford has purposely built in defects to make people buy new cars. I've seen it on all manufacturers in my 30 years working in the field however Ford by far is the WORST

My 2016 Ford Fusion is doing the same thing, started back in June of 2020. took it to a repair man and they fixed a spark plug and something else, charged me $600 and said that the sensor is just being weird. well in august my car completely gave out and wouldn’t turn on.. so we towed it to Ford and they told me I’d need a new engine, so we took it to another repair shop since Ford is $$$ and I’m a broke college student. the people we chose to fix our engine had my car for 4 months, went through 2 used engines, fixed all these other things, got it back yesterday and the lights are still showing up as well as my check engine light that comes on any time I try to accelerate quickly followed by jerks and lack of acceleration

Ford needs to recall this vehicle on these years. I’m having the same issue and my car helps me take care of my babies needs and go to work. There has to be some kind of form we can fill out to make Ford see this problem and fix it

Happened to my car. 2014 ford fusion SE. I took it in & was told I needed a front wheel speed sensor. Hopefully this helps anyone else out who’s trying to figure out what’s happening to their very well loved car Uploaded a photo

Switched out the speed sensors in both front wheels, lasted for a day then right back to the fully lit panel.

My 2015 Ford Edge sport is doing this. It seems to happen when i go over a speed hump. The car itself is running and driving fine. It stays on for about 15 secs and go away, My steering wheel gets a little hard to turn but when the lights go away the steering is back to normal. I might put the car on some ramps and look under the car to see if i can find anything. I love the car and i don't want to get rid of it.

Hi there, I had a similar issue with my Fusion, and it turned out to be related to the vehicle's speed sensor. The problem might be caused by a short circuit or failure in the sensor. In my case, the dealership didn't initially identify the issue, but I later found out that using the original Ford scanner helped pinpoint the problem. I recommend asking the dealer to specifically check the speed sensor for any issues. Sometimes these problems can be tricky to diagnose, and using the correct diagnostic tools, like the Ford scanner, can make a significant difference in identifying the root cause. Hope this helps, and good luck getting the issue resolved!

Mine had the same issues and it was a pinhole in one of the wires going to the abs sensor. Follow this guy's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWPo5F_zt6w A huge headache turned out to be caused by a tiny broken wire. You'll have to strip the plastic off the harness a bit to see the bad wire.
