Started giving problems at 50,000 miles
At 50,000 miles the air conditioning unit broke. One day I turned it on and I felt like it wasn't working. I took it to the dealer who had it for a full 3-4 days and my car needed four parts and my total bill was $950 plus I had to pay for a rental car. And then at 51,000 miles I couldn't get out of my door one day. The door handle broke and just the door handle costs $60 with tax from the dealer and luckily I have someone to put in in for me otherwise I'd probably have to pay a lot at the dealer. Other than this, I have had not any major problems. The seat belt does not retract all the way and was like that this when I bought the car with 20-something thousand miles. And the car feels like the steering wheel shakes when I drive. I own a V6.

149,000 Miles, Ready To Die
I bought my 2007 fusion brand new in December of 2006. I would say she was worth the money new but I would highly discourage you from buying this model out of warranty. Right around 60K the air conditioning belt started squeaking. Had it tightened, then replaced. The thing still squeaks. At 100K ? the struts needed to be replaced. At 115K, the air conditioner stopped blowing and had to be fixed. Now at 140K, the transmission is slipping. I heard that is a common problem with fusions. It?s really comfortable, the seats still look brand new, the trunk is huge and it never broke down on me.

Not the best car I have ever owned, but decent
I purchased my 2007 Ford Fusion for my son in August of 2010. You can get this car in a five-speed which is what I have. The five-speed is fun but not recommended. If you are interested in buying the Ford Fusion i recommend you stray away from the 2.3L four cylinder. It has limited power and not recommended when traveling through the mountains (example: West Virginia). The four cylinder however, does get fairly good gas mileage if you don't beat on it. If you are looking for a car with power stay away from this one. If you do drive it like a race car check your oil every chance you get. I have never had a car 2007 or newer burn oil like mine does. Other than that it will provide reliability and is a good starter car for someone just getting their license. (Example: My 16 year old son).

Great car for size and money
We were looking for a car that better gas millage than the 15 mpg that our SUV and Pickup got. We also had three growing children one of which was fixing to get her learners permit when we were looking to make this purchase. We had narrowed it to the Ford Escape or Fusion, and found it interesting that the 3 kids had more room in the back seat of the Fusion than they did in the Escape. Also the Cheaper Fusion offered many more features like power drivers seat which did not come in the basic Escape. We drive Fords because my grandfather retired from there and we got a family discount. We have never really had any major problems with any of them. That can be said of the Fusion as well. It is comfortable to drive and easy for 4 to fit in, if the 5th person is small or the ride is short then there is no problem with 5. I have a bad disk in my back and have problems sitting for long periods of time. I have no problem sitting in the front seats of the Fusion for up to two hours without getting out to walk. The same cannot be said for the back seats, but I also can't sit in the back seat of our 2004 Exhibition for more than 30 minutes without discomfort. There is road noise but less than we have in the Exhibition. And besides a 6 disk CD changer, it comes with a MP-3 outlet in the center console along with an extra 12 volt outlet hid in there so you can hide your valuables and still charge them. It had over 77,000 miles and all we had done was scheduled maintenance when a man pulled out in front of my 18 year old daughter. She slammed on the brakes but could not stop in time. The air bag did deploy, but at a slower rate since it is designed to go off based on your speed. This kept her from being worse by the airbag than from the crash like happened to my mom in a wreck in a early 90's car. I have been looking for a replacement for 2 months now and can't believe how hard of a time I am having finding something of equal quality for the price.

Would not buy AWD again
I have owned many Fords both good and bad. This one is just OK. I have owned it for 1 1/2 years and have put on 40,000 miles. I like the styling and the ride and feel, but Gas mileage is HORRIBLE on the All Wheel Drive Model.....I drive mainly highway and average 23MPG. This is even AFTER I had to put in 6 new Coils, 6 spark plugs and a computer because coils shorted out the computer. I got better gas mileage in a 10 year older model FULL size car. All wheel drive is not even that good in the snow. I can get around just as well in a front wheel drive car. NOT worth the extra money.

Great an Reliable Car
I enjoy my For Fusion. It is a nicely styled car. The color is nice, the interior and trunk have plenty of space and gas mileage is great. The sales representative that sold me the car went above an beyond to make sure that I was satisfied. He answered all my questions. I was very satisfied and would recommend my family and friends to do the same.

OK car
bought my 2007 fusion SEL used loved the car's style inside and out but was madwhen i found out it didnt have ABS standard. at 107,000miles i had to get a new battery and Alt put in. car has pricy parts. Alt cost $270 alone and can not be put on by your street mechanics since its jammed behind the engine and hidden by ac lines. back seat also has a AWFUL breeze in the winter time between the seats. i traded at 115,000miles it for a 2010 Dodge Charger. other than that if was a ok car.
