Review
I am shopping ahead of time for new tires for my 2010 Ford Fusion Sport.
In doing so I ran across this site and other with a variety of comments and ratings.
I bought my car in Jan of 2010 and have 45,500 miles on it.
My tires are good for another 5000 - 7500 miles.
And they have at times been put to the test.
Rotated every 7000 miles along with oil service.
This car kills every other 3.5 I have run against.
The average mileage up and down my 27 mile communte is between 24 and 26 MPG.
I am surprised that it has been 100% reliable with no additional service needs.
I have owned 3 BMW's and this car is more fun to drive.
Not as "secure" in high speed turns but good enough.
Love it.

Seems to be an ongoing issues for many.
My 2010 fusion has 26K miles and at random times will lose power while driving down the highway. I push on gas pedal, and nothing happens.
First two times no engine light came on.
I coast over to side of highway and put the car in park, it shakes very bad. Then I turn the car off.
I restart the car and is fine.
This has happened 4 times now, so car is in shop.
They think it is Throttle Body.
Ford Dealer says, there is no re-call since they don't have that many complaints.
This can be a very dangerous outcome waiting to happen.
I just want to get the word out to others to be aware of this.

Car in shop several times due to transmission slippage that always has to be adjusted.
Shifting from reverse to drive causes a big jerk..and the latest is intermittent battery dying - dealer says battery bad and replaced for $200.00! ...First time owning ford and not happy with it at all! All reviews seem to be consistent and Ford not doing anything but raping pockets!
Last one for me!
Here I come Chevrolet and may be consider Honda - also the head rest and seat is poorly designed.

Test drove a SE fully loaded with the 4cyl. First thing I noticed was how horribly slugish it was, as well as its irratic shifting. Loved the car and sales guy said only the 4cyl had this issue. Test drove the 6cyl and loved it. Only to purchase the car new and have issues with it from the first week. Transmission suffers from very hard and irratic shifts. After 3 reflashes, if I haven't ran the car in several days the tires with chirp it shifts so hard. With only 15k miles I now have crystalized brakes. Which I now find out through other owners both of these issues are known problems. The rotors I have to pay for out of pocket while the transmission issue remains to which im told unfixable.

I purchased my 2010 Fusion SEL used in 2010 with 22k miles on it.
At first I really enjoyed my car, but then the transmission flares started.
The first time I took it in under warranty they kept my car for 26 days because the part was on back order.
The second time I had a problem out of it they had it for 13 days.
I replaced the rear brakes at 40k because they were horrible.
I have replaced the front tires twice because one tire wears unevenly and would not pass inspection. The third time I had a problem I took it to the dealership I purchased it from and they bought it back from me for more than I owed.
I am now the happy owner of a 2012 Malibu and will not own a Ford ever again.

Highly disappointed! Have had this car for 2 years and have had it in the shop so much. The arm rest broke requiring the whole door panel to be replaced, the A/C switch broke requiring the entire dashboard taken apart, serpentine belt shredded and never made any noise before happening now there's a recall on the wheel stud & rear brake disc inspection and lug nut replacement and sure enough I had a lug nut break before I even got the notice. The drivers seat is also electric and is very temperamental also.

This car is absolute JUNK and if you value your life and the life of your family then DO NOT buy it. The complaints about the car just shutting off (yes, even on the highway) are REAL and it is a very dangerous thing.
I told the salesman I wanted something reliable and safe for my kids and I and this is the car he sold me? I should have known better than to trust.
I purchased the car in Sept 2011 and haven't even put 2000 miles on the car.
The car shut down the other night on Interstate 85 and we were almost rear ended by a tractor-trailer.
This car is NOT safe and is anything other than reliable.

29700 miles and still happy.
still love styling sport blue outside and blue insert seats. The 3.5 V6 still pulls strong, a sleeper but don't expect to take Corvette.
Average about 22 mpg and need to replace first set of tires and will not go with the Good Year RS A tires again.
Ok tire but not great.

Bought mine used with 22,500 miles in August 2010; now has 27,500. I love the car. The ride is comfortable, yet athletic. The stereo is awesome; no mechanical issues, still a very solid vehicle. Easy to attain EPA fuel economy ratings. Have not had any of the transmission issues I have heard much about, hopefully they don't pop up. Great car, I'd recommend to anybody. I chose it over the Civic, Camry, Cruze, and Malibu
