    I've owned a 2017 Fusion Sport for a year and a half now and love the car! I got it with 58K miles and currently have 92.5K on it. I do all the maintenance myself and heres what thats been: oil changes every 5K miles (getting oil analysis to see if the Amsoil can go longer), transmission fluid change when I got the car, and i did it again at 85K miles to find it needed more fluid than I drained for a correct fluid level (it shifted good before, but 3rd gear is noticeably less harsh now). At 62K miles I replaced all rotors and pads (the rear pads wear faster than the fronts on these cars). Then spark plugs at 80K miles (time consuming, be warned), serpentine belt and idler pulley (old idler pulley had started to squeak and i found out whoever put a Dayco one on somehow misaligned the washer and totally bent it in putting stress on the bearing, replaced it with a Motorcraft belt and pulley), and PTU fluid change at 80K miles, very easy to do. At 86K I flushed out the old orange coolant by doing multiple drain and fills until I had added nearly 3 gallons of the new Motorcraft yellow coolant (Ford stated they are totally safe to mix for a top off, drain and fill, or flush). Then I couldn't do the rear diff fluid myself because of a stripped drain plug (it's in a very tight spot, a torx socket won't fit because of a subframe bushing very close to it), a local shop freed up the bolt and changed the fluid for me and replaced it with a new bolt I got from Ford, $130 total. The only parts that failed were a purge valve which I replaced in a few minutes for $75 (rough idle after filling up with gas) and a rear wheel bearing at 62K miles as well, I had a shop do this for $450. The biggest problems by far with this car are the wheels, they're 19's and have 40% aspect ratio tires. You must keep them properly inflated and keep your alignment good or they'll wear fast. I've also had bent wheels which has been a pita. When I'm done with these tires I'm getting 18 inch wheels and 45% aspect ratio tires, also will upgrade to 245's over the 235's. If you live in the rust belt, the AWD is great in the snow and the car holds up well in salty areas. I don't know if this car was undercoated before I got it, but it was from Cleveland and has no rust at all. Ford did a very good job with this car, it's fast, very comfortable, and can get 30 mpg highway. One of the best cars I've ever used!

      @@thelonglastexpert another note that I should mention, is that all the Fusion Sports had chain-driven oil pumps, or so the parts diagrams revealed. The same goes for the Lincoln MKZ with the 3.0 EcoBoost since it's a very similar engine. The SUV's and Lincoln Continental with the 2.7 EcoBoost received a belt-driven oil pump starting for the 2018 model year and beyond, and 2018 and beyond for the F-150. Since the change started for the 2018 model years for these vehicles you would need to enter the VIN into the Ford parts lookup system to see if that specific vehicle has it or not.

      @raphaelfrancis4509 the V6 Accord and FFSport are sleepers for sure! With the Accord you've gotta do a timing belt replacement every 100K miles, but the J-Series V6's they have are great otherwise. For the Ford, it'll need oil changes every 5K or sooner and trans and ptu fluid changes every 30K, but I've heard Honda transmissions aren't the best either long term. BMW that's a whole other animal 😂. Definitely gonna have more expensive parts and be much harder to work on. But drive all three, they're each cool in their own right

    I have a 2014 Ford Fusion Titanium 2.0 EcoBoost. I have tried to keep up with maintenance as much as possible. Oil change every 5k miles, transmission fluid drain and fill every 15k miles or so. I first got it in 2020 and 3 months later the power steering went out. Replaced it and almost 2 years later it went out again, replaced it and 7 months later it went out, so I replaced it again and so far, it has not gone out (yet). I modified my Fusion which was fun and also made me not only keep up with but do my maintenance intervals sooner than normal. I have replaced the rear shocks and front struts with Koni Strt parts. Steeda front and rear sway bar, Steeda front tower brace, and CP-E Stage 2 rear motor mount. The vehicles suspension feels tight, and I love it, corners good and the chassis doesn't flex much. As for performance, I have put on a Steeda front mount intercooler, CP-E hot and cold side charge pipes, Turbosmart BPV, NGK Iridium IX spark plugs gapped at .026, JLT 3.0 oil separator, Mustang EcoBoost throttle body, CP-E 3" catted downpipe/cat back exhaust, Garrette Powermax Stage 1 turbo, XDI +35% high pressure fuel pump, XDI 2000CC fuel injectors and tuned on 93 octane from Unleashed Tuning. I am having an issue with the vehicle not running right. I got 2 check engine lights, a P008B Low Pressure Fuel System Pressure-Too High. So, I replaced the fuel pump in the fuel tank with another Motorcraft one and replaced the low fuel pressure sensor. the RPM needle is no longer dancing around while driving. But I still have that other CEL which is P00C6 Fuel Rail Pressure Too Low - Engine Cranking Bank 1. It takes many cranks to start up when the engine is cold, otherwise it will start up fine if it was running pretty recently. It is also misfiring intermittently and will have a massive misfire if you get on it and will take a few seconds to regain itself when the check engine light is flashing. I have ordered a new fuel rail pressure sensor which I am waiting on in the mail. When I replace that I am going to have my tuner take a look at the datalogs and see if he can get it running well. I sent in those aftermarket fuel injectors to XDI, they tested them and said they are in good condition, but I don't know. After installing them my car started having problems one week later. If all else fails, I am going to order brand new Motorcraft fuel injectors and see what happens. My money is kind of on the injectors being the issue, fingers crossed it is not the engine because I absolutely love my car and would hate to get rid of it.

    I Owned a 2010 Ford Fusion 2.4 i4 non turbo non eco boost . Most reliable car I had owned. Bought used 38,000 miles and it had 289,000 when it was totaled in a crash. I did oil changes every 4000 with full synthetic 5w30. Ford stated “Lifetime” transmission fluid so it didn’t recommend a transmission fluid change, I changed transmission fluid every 30,000 miles with Valvoline Maxlife ATF . Coolant drain and fill every 50,000 miles same for brake fluid. “Lifetime fluid” ford projects lifetime do the transmission to be 100,000 so that they get repeat customers , designed to last then fail! 7000 mile changes designed to last just enough then fail. But if one does proper maintenance not the recommended maintenance, but proper maintenance and not get the ones with eco boost it is one of the most reliable vehicles out there !

    My 2014 fusion with the 2.0 vep Spanish built engine,has 195600 miles on it now, i change the oil every 6000 miles, with 5/30 dexos rated oil. Very little if any oil usage. I change my transmission fluid 4 quarts every 30000 miles, with Valvoline lv fluid, and it shifts perfectly .. even when i use the paddles. spark plugs everywhere 2 years, air filter every 2 years. I uprated my suspension with adjustable coil overs and adjustable dampners, lower the car 30 mm, it's not 'slammed' to the ground like a lot of idiots do their cars. Has a very nice ride, and with polyurethane sway bar bushings, it handles really well, enough to give some audis and bmws a headache on twisty back roads
    235/45/18 Goodyear euro LS tires have great grip, and are not wearing out all that fast., great car, yo bad Ford went stupid and tell us all, we need to drive SUVs. I went to china last year, and drove the new fusion they have and we dont, fantastic car

    I might as well throw my hat in the ring looking at everyone's fusion stories. I currently own a 2016 SE hybrid with 153k miles (purchased at 20k miles in 2018 due to it being a fleet vehicle before me) and do my own maintenance. So far the only issue I've had was a failed ABS sensor. I've kept up with mostly everything (basically i haven't touched the transmission yet 😅) from oil changes, spark plug swaps, ignition coils since I was in there and i was at 130k miles, and a few other things. This car has treated me very well. The only thing I'm sad about is having to trade it in soon for a bigger vehicle for the sake of space due to a new addition of a family member (it's a boy). I'd recommend this car but like this video says, low mileage with good history and if you're able to keep up with the maintenance

After watching this, I’m definitely keeping mine under 80 mph, staying in the slow right lane from now on at 70mph or lower.

    I miss my fusion but the wifey wanted something with more features (we had an SE trim) so was traded it on a slightly newer Camry XSE. I love the Camry and it is definitely a better car in nearly every aspect besides ride quality. Somehow the fusion suspension was soft and comfortable even over rough roads while still handling exceptionally well for a “family sedan” ! Now, after figuring out that they made a sport edition of the fusion, I might have to look for one cause that sounds like something I would really enjoy.

Was over $600 Cdn but used a Ford $1000 gift card given to me by dealership during sale of car. Brakes are still original because car uses electric motor to stop and regenerate electricity. Due for some major maintenance like CVT oil replacement, wheel bearing due to pot hole, just changed original tires last year with Nokian tires excellent tires. I would be happy for another 180,000 kms.

    I would go for a 2.5 but they aren't very well equipped as they're limited to S and SE trims. I think the hybrid/engergi are the best options for reliability. I've heard some negative things about the transmission in the 2.7 Sport models, though that could be the result of people brake boosting a lot. I rented a hybrid and got 30mpg going up a mountain at 82mph. Something I don't think any other Ford could achieve.

      @thelonglastexpert problems started after 60k mostly the emission stuff that's mostly "dealer only" parts. The radio also will randomly turn on after being parked and I've even had the seat lean back as I was driving down the highway.. however the worst was when I put it in park to grab something out of my truck to turn around and see it left with out me! Luckily I have a long driveway and I caught it before someone got hurt. Ford does have a recall for that now but says mine wasn't included yet it's doing the same exact thing. All this and I'm at 93k miles. I've always had ford's but the fusion isn't a good car... it's currently ripped apart in my driveway soon to be traded in.
      Guess it's still better than the 1.5 that randomly burns to the ground but not by much.

    We had a 2015 and it was a real Turd. Traded it on on a 2020 Camry. Had nothing but problems with it. At 22k miles it had a cracked cylinder head in 3 places left us stranded. Then it never ran as good after warranty repair then all kinds of knick picky things went wrong you could no longer hook your phone up to it a part went bad in the radio FORD wanted $600 to fix. At 55k miles it had misfires and I finally said to hell with it. The 2020 Camry has been 100% better not one problem and we have had it 4 years now. What is worse ours had the supposedly bullet proof 2.5l engine. Not too bullet proof in our case and Ford would not warranty the repair they made. I will never give Ford another dime they can go out of business for all I care! We maintained it well too. Serviced transmission at 45k miles and stayed on the oil changes. Ford says the cracked head was a forge issue that got past the 3rd party that made them and Fords quality control so I guess we got one of those where quality was not job 1.

      It all depends on the condition and how often this engine has been maintained (oil changes, coolant replacement, radiator cleaning). Yes, 60,000 miles is not a small mileage for this engine, but if it has been well-maintained, then it's generally worth considering. Before buying, check if there are any wet spots on the engine.
