Stay away from these cars 2006-2010 - they are prone to rusting early and the 6 speed automatic transmissions are faulty and start to give out around 50 - 60 thousand miles. I have one still under warranty and Ford won't cover it because they said the tranny problem is due to rusting transmission cooler lines. Nice cop out. The rust isn't right through the metal so they won't cover it. Common places for rust are above the passenger windshield and rear left licence plate area.
i own an 06 ford fusion SE, i love speeding in it lol, but im too tall for it, im looking for a ford excursion now, so if anybody knows any good deals, please let me know [New Jersey]
oh and I forgot to mention that the paint job is crap. It chips and flakes at various places on the car. I haven't ran into a fusion that doesnt have this problem after a few years yet.
well you and your friends must just be unlucky. lol. you guys managed to grab some of the few bad ones. This car has done extraordinary in reliability since it's release. Hard to believe with your circumstance, but it's actually true. And i know you've read people having the same complaints as you, but know that people who dislike something are way more likely to speak up and complain than those who love it are to praise.
It goes both ways. People are likely to just take it than to say something about it. When a lot of people have a problem and speak out about it then it opens the doors to possible recalls. To dismiss an issue just because "you're" doing ok is not the point. Both the milian/fusion are based on the same platform and use the same transmissions and the same problems. There is a TSB where ford tries to play this off as the computer needing reprogramming. this is still a young car though. we'll see.
even with that being said. something like that doesn't account for the many people who haven't had any problems. A majority of these cars have to be good for them to be rated so high in reliability. With that being the facts, the current fusion has received such a huge bump in resale value that it's very competitive with the camry and accord. Just look it up. This isn't an opinion.
Yes and no. I do understand what your saying but depending on where your getting this info it could be biased. consumer reports and the such is just the basics and usually based off of opinions. This is what ratings are usually based off of. Look at what Toyota is going through. Not all cars will have the recall problem. Only a small amount will ever have the problem but does that mean that you should ignore what the minority says. The nhtsa investigates minority claims because they know.
I've driven "american" mostly ford all my life. I have had everything from 91 buick century to a 2000 forcus and 2001 ford ranger and last 2006 fusion. I love the aesthetics of ford and gm. Now when I first wrote what I wrote I was pissed. I mean 5 grand for a transmission on a 3 year old car I think you would be pissed also. oh btw yours is an igorant comment based off assumptions.
i drove a 89 camry v6 and a 90 subi legacy both cars are great but the subi broke down all time and the only good thing at the camry was the engine all the other parts are crap!
This car sucks hardcore. comes with 3 yr or 36,000 warranty but the transmissions might not last as long. I own one and need a new transmission already and a few of my friends are showing symptoms of the same transmission problems and ford claim that it needs to recalibrated but that is not the case. 3 fords and now I'm ready for a honda or toyota. This is just a warning and this extends to 2007-2009 models as I've been reading the same complaints. Ford hasn't learned.
this car is literally just a mazda 6. same engines, same suspensions, same driverrain, and similar interior layout.
but the mazda's interior is far better and it handles better as well. i own a 2004 mazda 6s, and i can't understand buying the fusion over the mazda...
well...the 2010 model is ranked over the accord by many car reviews, especially the hybrid.
mazda6 is 'ok', my friend drives a black on black one, but fuel economy could be better, their technology is behind others. my saturn aura(which also ranks higher than the mazda6) has better fuel economy and better technology, and it's on '08 model. great sound system and room. i do like the design of mazda6.
Does anyone know what this Fusion look like? A Honda. Yeah. Prelude to be exact. The front lights look like the 97-01 Prelude. The rear lights look like the 92-96 model. Don't believe me? Search around, you'll see what i mean.
I have a 06 Ford Fusiopn, it's pretty nice, it's a gas saver, I topped mine at 115MPH in a race, but the accel kinda sucks, my 00 Ford Windstar can take on it but my van tops out at 105MHP but it I drive it like before, 117MPH. lol
I know that Fusion that I have has MP3 but I rather drive my 2000 Ford WindStar instead of the Fusion, so ever since I fixed my van from the transmision a long time ago, I stopped using the car, my mom uses the car now.
i hate bugging, but can u also tell me how it should look?? kuz AUX jacks u know usually look like a small circle with a red outlining. is it under something?? left side? right side?? if not then maybe i just dont have one.

I just bought a used 06 Black Fusion SEL. It's comparable to Nissan Maxima in my opinion. It has big balls with a luxury look. Plus if (and I mean if) anything goes wrong, it won't cost an arm and a leg to repair. Did I mention that was an "if"

armani1326 3 years ago
Definetely. Design of Renault vehicles is bad joke to my eyes. (Except of the upcoming Megane.)
Peugeot vehicles differ only in size, they're too similar to each other and after these years too boring. (The same goes with Audi.)
Also the stats speak quite clearly about rather poor reliability of French vehicles...
