Used 2012 Ford Fusion Sedan Consumer Reviews
Found On Road...Daily
I just purchased a 2012 Ford Fusion that sat in an impound yard for 4+ years. A rat ate through some wires causing a cylinder 3 misfire, but she ran anyway when the staff cut a new key and jump-started it! I drove it this way to a repair shop 60 miles away and had it fixed. She runs like a top again with ZERO other problems. Nice ride.

Great Car Great Experience
I bought this car new over six years ago and my overall experience has been fantastic. I hope to keep the car for at least another six years. Car cost $25K new and has good interior quality for that price point. The ride is comfortable and the handling is responsive. Maintenance has been minimal and the only repair so far has been due to mice chewing some wires (can't blame Ford for that). The mileage is approaching 100K and I think the rear struts are going bad because there is a rattling and an unusually stiff ride but I haven't yet had it checked out. My only real gripe with the car is that the "Sync" entertainment system that is supposed to interact with your phone doesn't work with my iPhone (or any of my Apple devices) for anything other than Bluetooth when the system was designed by Microsoft to do much more. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and could only hope that all of my car purchases work out as well as the Fusion has so far.

316000 miles and still going
I bought this car new in 2012. I now have 316000 miles on the car and it's still going strong. The only thing I have done to the car is change the oil every ten thousand miles and replace the tires and battery. Everything else from plugs to even brake pads, yes I said brake pads, is original. No tune up and I still average 30 miles a gallon.

Unacceptable sounds
I am getting very tired of the high pitched whistling sound that I have been told is from the fuel pump. I have complained about this but the dealership says its normal for a fusion. Additionally, at 1500 rpms, it makes what I would describe as the sound of a small motor boat. This sound is most notable while turning the car or on non-level ground. The dealership and my husband both say, this is normal. Also, there have been issues with the gas cap housing and filler pipe that have had to be fixed.
So far not impressed.
Purchased a 2012 Fusion SEL V6 about a month ago so far not impressed with the reliability, has been to the dealer twice for two different problems in two thousand miles. Transmission had to be flashed because the transmission had very hard shifts, now the EGR valve is not working correctly causing the car to shutter and Ford does not know how to fix it. This has been the first Ford i've ever owed I wish I would have looked at other manufacture's I picked this car for the high marks consumer reports gave it.
