Re: 2010 Fusion recall for 17" steelies stud failure [pod]
We were notified about a month ago & our '10 Fusion had it's studs replaced today. This recall also involves brake rotors. We had our original rotors replaced by our independent mechanic earlier because they were warped and our Ford dealer told us that Ford will reimburse us for our expense. That phone call is on my "to do" list.

Re: Ford Fusion 2010 A piece of crap [wilcox]
I understand the dealer had my car torn apart and actually told me his guys had never done this particular job before and this was "A learning curve for them" I can't wait to see if blows up in the next couple of weeks. If I have another problem with it I will dump it

Re: Ford Fusion 2010 A piece of crap [triman666]
A loaner for you. That's nice of dealer to do. But, I feel that some times when his (dealer) 'technicians' touch my vehicle they can screw up something else. At least that's the way it worked at Toyota...and others. So while you are out there enjoying the 'free' loaner there is some monkey in the garage working on your own...and making it worse. It's not just Ford, it happens with all ... Read More

Re: Ford Fusion 2010 A piece of crap [akirby]

Ford Fusion 2010 A piece of crap
I bought this Ford Fusion 6 cyl SEL because Car and driver, Consumer Reports etc all chimed in about what a great car it is. Well before 30k miles I replaced the synch module twice and all the directional lights twice. At 40k miles the alternator went for $960 and last week the water pump was leaking. Fortunately it was covered under the drive train warranty because they had to take ... Read More

18 month assessment 2010 Milan I-4
The car is unchanged from its new condition, is quiet and economical (average mpg mixed=31.1) and I would enthusiastically recommend the Fusion/Milan. No problems, no repairs, no remorse. With incentives, etc. they are not an expensive car in the I-4 configuration and actually compete pricewise with many of the moderately equipped compacts. Good engineering nod to the Ford workforce.

2010 Fusion 4cyl Gurgling / Sloshing noise
68jode, If the 2010 Fusion's Heater Core has been recalled why haven't we received any word from Ford on replacing it? Is this something that just takes time? My tech told me that Service Bulletins only come out once a quarter. So perhaps this recall will hit the streets in early March? Yes, I have been following FordFusionForum.com daily.

"They tested the pressure as well and said it was fine. " What pressure?

Re: 2010 milan I-4 mpg [pod]

Re: 2010 Ford Fusion [koho955]

2010 Fusions
To my disappointment, Ford did not increase cash rebate incentives on the Fusion in July. I thought they might, since 2011's will be here in less than a month and the Fusion has had the same $2k rebate all year. Current incentives state they are valid until October 4th, is Ford really not going to discount the 2010 models any more than they have all year?

Re: rufusth [rufusth]
Hi rufusth. According to the latest information that I have seen, Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 Fusion SEL 2WD with 15,000 miles per year are 3.0% and 49%, respectively.

Re: used 2010 fusion [newowner10]
I just got a new 2010 ford fusion sel with heated leather seats for about $22,700 incl. taxes and fees + $2,500 in rebates. I live in New Jersey. I think some dealerships are more willing to budge than others, and it's also easier to negotiate/ shop on phone, which is pretty much what I did. Thought I'd get a cheaper price w/ the x plan but they were able to ... Read More

Re: Reliability of Ford Fusion [explorerx4]
"if you honda is a good vehicle, why do you want to change to another one? " I was a Honda guy and had really good luck until 2008 when I bought a new Accord. It was a terrible car.

2010 Fusion
I rented one with I4 for a week. It is more refined than earlier Fusion. When I drove it off the lot I thought it is running on electric motor. After I parking I checked the badge to be sure that it is not a hybrid. Thats how quite and refined it feels. Ergonomics and interior design might be better though. it is not a VW for sure. But seats are ... Read More

Impressed
Last week I got a 2010 Ford Fusion SEL V6 for a rental car while traveling for work. The new Fusion is a very impressive car, I drove about 1,200 miles in 5 days and really enjoyed it, in fact I was shocked at how much I liked the car. After growing up with Fords and Lincolns in the 1980's I swore them off, but I have to say Ford got ... Read More

Re: It's sort of like... [acdii]
What do you like about the Fusion Sport? I recently purchased a 2008 Ford Fusion SEL with the V6. I had been driving a 2005 Honda Accord. We bought it as an extra car. I love the car and the way it drives. The service record for this vehicle is really good. I am considering buying a 2010 Fusion Sport. The salesman says that the 3.5 liter V6 is really quick. ...

Re: It's sort of like... [jimbres]
I guess I am in that 20% bracket. I have purchased 5 new vehicles since 2007, and haven't lost money, or rolled payments over on any of them, in fact my last two purchases have reduced my monthly payments. I started with a Prius, fine car for what it is, but we didn't like it, and quickly outgrew it. There were certain safety issues we had with the car that my ... Read More

Re: AutoWeek best mid-size sedan in US poll [syitalian25]
Yes, Ford actually went backwards on the 2010 refresh of the Fusion. The front end used to look like a Fusion razor, with 5 "blades". Now it's just the old Mach 3. Not even a Mach 3 turbo. ;)

Re: used 2010 fusion [acdii]
I totally agree! Even though I came from a car with much more all around performance, I'm really enjoying the my new Fusion Sport. I am in the middle of a road trip right now. The high resale value is another reason I decided to go with a Fusion. And this is my first american made car in over 10 years. Back then, heck even 5 years ago, I would *never* ... Read More

Re: used 2010 fusion [lvrebel85]
Our 2002 Sable had the Transmission break at 102000 miles. We had the transmission repaired and re-repaired after we received it back when it was no correct. We then had the state inspection done but it needed brakes and a new springs in the rear it was adding up quickly. We actually looked at a Fusion before we purchased the Sonata. The Sonata was much less expensive I believe that is ... Read More

Re: 2010 Fusion SE [1stnewcarever]
exactly what they mean by "sport-tuned suspension". The Sport-tuned package is a suspension and wheel upgrade. Ford installs a stiffer suspension that is similar to that used on the Sport model. It improves overall handling, but stiffens the ride. You basically get a 4 cylinder manual Sport without the trim, and 3.5 V6. The Sport model itself has a different interior, side rockers, different bumpers, Sport wheels, 3.5 V6, 6 speed ... Read More
