We have had to reprogram our transmission shortly after we got it do to very high revs before it would shift and now that we have 16K miles it has been to the dealer 2X the first was for rough idle and they said 2 plugs went bad they replaced it then 2 days later we sent it back for the same reason and they told us that the #6 cylinder and valve has gone bad and the engine will need to be replaced, i have lost all confidence I expected more from the ford engineers after I found out i am not alone. We only bought a Ford since they did not take bail out money, i should have kept my Toyota 200k miles with no problems on it, American still builds unreliable junk, i will never buy American again
What a disappointment

I recently purchased a CPO 2012 Ford Fusion SEL with the 3.0L V6 FWD and the piece of crap gets 14 to 14.5 mpg in the city. I've taken it to two dealerships and they've told me that I need to drive it like grandma in order to get better mileage. Believe me I am NOT driving aggressively - I wouldn't be able to afford it! I'm taking off from a light so slowly that people behind me are getting angry with me. The EPA estimates for this car (FWD) are 20 City and 27 Hwy with 23 combined. One dealership ran a computerized mpg test and got 20.5 mpg combined Hwy and City driving. So by Ford's own admission, even when you drive the car like grandma, you don't get the EPA estimated averages.

Make sure all recalls have been taken care of. Sold car after having fixed on a recall I never knew existed on steering problem which happened suddenly. Recall on Takata airbags (passenger) side not taken care of. dealer denied they did anything wrong on spraying battery somehow which caused a fungus to occur and which entered tubing to engine. I loved the car originally and had it almost 6 years until problems occurred. I bought the Fusion new. Dealership where I bought car was not great so I sold it to a dealership where I am now leasing a 2018 new Toyota Camry LE. After the Toyota dealership which looked the Fusion over after I had already done the paperwork, the salesperson informed me that it was good to get rid of the car as the transmission was due to have problems. Will never purchase a Ford again.

2012 SEL FWD V6

The 2012 Fusion is an excellent family sedan and deserves serious consideration. It is roomy & comfortable to drive. We found the 4-cylinder engine to be a bit gutless on freeway entry ramps which is why we decided on buying one with the 3.0L V6. It accelerates far better than the 2.5L I-4. This is important for us since it will occasionally carry 5-people in it. The soft touch interior pieces are nice. The cabin is well insulated from road noise. The sun roof is great but it may be compromising for taller folk. SYNC is awesome as is the Sony 12-speaker sound system. The blindspot mirrors are a very useful and there's plenty of rear seat room for our 3-kids.
Winner!

I recently purchased a 2012 Fusion SEL 3.0L V6 FWD used with 44,000 miles. The car is in very good shape and runs well. The car has exceeded my expectations in handling, ride and drive-ability. This car is lot's of fun to drive. It holds the road surface very well in all kinds of road surfaces. I bought the car for my daughter, but I told her she is going to have to let me drive it every now and then. :)
