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.

This is the worst new car I've ever bought. After only 1000 miles, I have more defects than other cars having >100K miles. I am appalled this car ever made it off the line. Trunk leaks, bad window regulator, dash and door rattles, failed side sensors, loose sun visor, all before the first trip to the dealer. Why buy this car?

2010 fusion SE automatic 2.5l 4cylinder 31 mpg combined. Bought the car used in 2010 with 20,000 miles for $13,000 vehicle now has 70,000 miles. I have had no problems with this vehicle to date. I drive 70 miles everyday about 30% city 70% highway and get 31 mpg very happy with the car fun to drive and economical. Oil change every 7k miles with full synthetic oil. have not changed spark plugs. Right break light went out $10 to fix. have taken several trips from DallasTX to EL Paso Tx 600 mile trip got 41 mpg vehicle not even rated to get 40 mpg exceeded my expectations was hesitant due to reading reviews about transmission have not had such problem.

2010 Ford Fusion SEL 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

This has been a reliable car. I live in the mountains in southern California and have snow twice a year. This is my wife's car, so problems are taken to me when it is too late. I work as a ship engine mechanic for the OEM for 25 years so I have seen some big failures and obscure problems. Problems encountered were mainly the result of taking a common frame platform and adapting 4 different engine weights and horsepowers, adding AWD, using torsional electronic steering. Now the problems I've had are broken motor mounts (3.0L engine and AWD (more torque in the same frame) this caused the power steering to fail (motor torqued on broken motor mounts), Transmission failed at 90000 miles (probably from the broken motor mounts). The shop in town showed the broken motor mounts when the power steering went out. I am sure the transmission fail which was gradual (was able to drive it in) was due to torsional twist in alignment of transmission and driveline. American equipment is still precision I have been repairing engines of 2000 to 15000 hp for 30 years and understanding the value of maintenance and catching things early, if I were driving occasionally would have have picked up on the steering drag. My wife brought the car home from a long trip with the engine shutting down for overheat (loo radiator fluid) the shut down worked twice with no damage to the car. This is a good design and has shutdowns we used to only see in Mercedes and Cadillac and my multimillion dollar engines. The interior door handles broke one by a drug addict getting in and out, the driver door handle by her relative, assuming hard use here. Replaced power twice under warranty at Ford, then found the motor mounts, paid for that (phenolic plastic) (plastic has its place these used to be hardened rubber).Transmission replaced on me by Ford, hard to find the AWD transmission from others. Ford guys farmed out the work to another shop (maybe another Ford) this took 1 month cost $5000 (maybe fair I remember car work from the early 1970s). Since all this we put on 40000 miles in the mountains and long trips into Mexico (Mexico City). Ford design is family car so the ride is comfortable the engine is reliable and the AWD works and is adequate for 3 inches of snow. Mileage 19-20 in mountains and sometimes 30 on the highway. A good car overall. Like any piece of machinery you have to know its flaws and prepare ahead of time like changing tires and fluids.

Transmission slips or clunks into gear. Recall did not fix problem. There are pages of Fusion owners on internet with same problem. My car is at dealers for the third time (counting recall) for this dangerous problem.
