    The Ford Fusion Hybrid may experience transmission issues that require a complete replacement, which can be costly at around $6000. It is recommended to consider other options before purchasing a Ford Fusion Hybrid.

  2. Rolando Willms 2024-11-20

    Vehicle year: 2013

    The car's advertised fuel efficiency of 47 mpg highway is not accurate. In my experience of driving 6,500 miles over 6 months, mostly on the highway, I was only able to achieve an average of 35-37 mpg, despite my best efforts to drive efficiently. Additionally, I encountered issues with the ABS light coming on multiple times, which the dealer was unable to resolve. The Ford MyTouch system also did not meet my expectations, with the navigation system frequently freezing and becoming unusable. As a result, I decided to trade in the car after six months, incurring a loss of approximately $4k. It is important to be aware of these issues before making a purchase decision.

  3. Andres Bode 2024-11-17

    Vehicle year: 2017

    I have been using this car as a company fleet vehicle and unfortunately, I have been quite disappointed with it. However, I must say that the car looks sharp from the outside and handles well. I have the hybrid/gas combo and I am able to get almost 400 miles per tank of gas, which is impressive. Despite these positives, I have had several issues with the car and I feel that it is not very safe. In my opinion, the cars are made quite cheaply. I have already had to deal with several issues, which is concerning. One of the most concerning issues is that all Fusion owners on my team and in other areas have experienced the car completely stopping on the highway while going 70 mph, causing the car to slow down to 20 mph and lose total power. All of us on the team have had to have the throttle body replaced. There is also a recall for the steering wheel coming off and my

    Hey there! If you're considering buying a used titanium model, it's definitely worth it! However, I wanted to let you know that some people have reported feeling a bit vulnerable on the road with the hybrid model. Just something to keep in mind!

    Vehicle year: 2019

    This is our second Ford Fusion hybrid plug in. After driving the 2019, I am missing some of the features that I had in my 2017 model. I was disappointed to find that the heated steering wheel feature had been moved to a second screen. Additionally, I noticed that the front sensors and parking assist features had been removed. I am curious as to why Ford would choose to delete these features from the same model.

    I've had this car for 5 years now and I still love driving it. The car gets the mileage it is advertised to get, and it has a very comfortable and quiet ride. It is a joy to drive, with responsive controls and a very responsive engine. This car can easily do 80 mph and can pass on an incline grade with power to spare. Even my spouse, who is 6' 5

  2. Manuel Kihn 2025-01-09

    Vehicle year: 2016

    Hi there! I wanted to share my experience with my 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid (Titanium). I've been averaging an impressive 49+mpg, even with active cruise control set to 68mph and driving 120 miles per day for work, mostly on the highway. I've found that making longer stops helps recapture energy, and I've adjusted my driving style to include slower starts. However, the car still has plenty of power when I need it. On a recent vacation, I was able to get 42mpg even while driving at 80+. One thing I've noticed is that the tank is much smaller, so instead of a 14-gallon fill-up, I'm only doing 7-8 gallons. Thanks for listening!

  3. Hubert Gusikowski 2025-01-08

    Vehicle year: 2014

    I really wanted the Mustang, but unfortunately, with a teenage son in the family, there was no way to fit him in the back seat. Therefore, I needed to purchase a family sedan. I never thought I would buy a hybrid, but I am very glad that I did. Initially, I almost didn't even test drive it. However, at another dealership, I decided to give the hybrid a try and I'm glad I did. The electrics give it a nice punch with some added torque that makes up for the missing horsepower even with the combined engine/electric rating of only 188hp. That is one of the advantages of electric motors, the full torque of the motor is available almost instantly across the full range of RPM. What I really enjoy about it though is that it gives me on average about 40mpg. Once you get used to driving a hybrid, it's pretty easy to keep your mileage close to or even above the rated values. I often get around 50mpg on my commute (as reported by the on-board computer at the end of each trip). However, the one thing that I don't like about it is the MyFord Sync entertainment system. It's been widely reported that it is simply not a user-friendly interface and they are correct. It's got some maddening deficiencies. For instance, pressing the 'media' button repeatedly should cycle through the available media inputs on the stereo, but you have to use either the voice interface to tell it to switch from line input to USB input, or go several layers deep into the media menu to do so. There are other user interface mistakes like this as well.

    I bought my '10 FFH in July 2012 as the second owner. The previous owner, who lived elsewhere in Wisconsin, had put over 68,000 miles on the vehicle before trading it in. My previous car, a 1995 Chrysler Concorde, served me well for 14 years, but I needed something more fuel-efficient for my 60-mile daily round-trip commute to work. The Fusion now has over 90,000 miles and has only required oil changes and its 90k service, which I had done at the Ford Dealer where I purchased it in Southern WI. The car's balance, especially in winter, is the best I've ever experienced. It also handles very well in dry conditions, unlike the Prius which feels more like an appliance.

    Hi there! Just wanted to give you a quick update on the Fusion Hybrid. I'm happy to report that everything is still going great with the car, even at 35K miles. The only issue I had was a malfunction in the retention spring in the front passenger grab bar, but that was an easy fix. Overall, I'm still extremely pleased with my purchase - no squeaks, rattles, leaks, or malfunctions to report. Thanks for checking in!
