2017 Ford Fusion consumer reviews

The Ford Fusion SE FWD has proved itself to be a solid choice. It is reliable in stop-and-go traffic and is nimble enough to overtake other cars on highways. It is also quite comfortable, although the headrest is quite uncomfortably placed. The suspension absorbs most of the road's vibrations. When turned on at lower speeds, the motor can be louder than expected, but the transition between electric and ICE power is quite smooth. The design is aggressive, and it looks quite good. The car is also reliable, and parts aren't hard to find. The infotainment system, however, is not as sophisticated as expected, but not in a pleasant way. Overall, I would still recommend the car; it's practical, reliable, and nimble.

We've had fords and liked them. We had a 2013 Fusion for 9 years. Loved it and only traded it because we put 200,000 miles on it . We bought this car(2017 fusion SE) with 120,000 miles on it. Clean title and looked like it a new car. At 141,000 miles it started missing and had antifreeze in a cylinder. $9000.00 for a new motor. At 151,000. Miles the check engine light started coming on randomly.It was the Ecoboost system. Required a pressure pump and solenoid($1100.) Shortly afterward,we stopped at a restaurant and it wouldn't go in reverse when we tried to leave. Had to have it towed. It was a small PLASTIC (less than $5.00) fitting connecting the inside dial to the transmission.I don't remember what that cost was but it wasn't cheap. Today it's back in the shop. When idling or in stop and go traffic it shows up the outside temperature over 120 degrees even if it's cool outside. Driving at highway speeds it shows a correct outside temp. The engine temp gauge stays normal. I'm no mechanic but I think it's the cooling fan. Each time something goes wrong, I think I can't trade it off like this and after I pay for the repair,I think,I've got so much money invested in it I'm not sure I can afford to buy another car. We are retired and take care of our cars but this is ridiculous.

2017 Ford Fusion Sport: I bought this car April 2019 with approximately 6000 miles on it. It was a personal lease vehicle from Michigan that sold at auction to the dealership I purchased it from in Wisconsin. I currently have 55,000 miles on it. I bought this car because of its power and stability on the road. I took it on a round trip from Wisconsin to Maine and back and it performed beautifully while averaging 30+ miles per gallon. The myriad features on this car are incredible. From adaptive cruise control and lane deviation sensors to automated ride suspension, this has been a joy to own and drive. Auto dimming rear view and side view mirrors make driving easy, day and night. Remote start during winter months is a huge feature, especially with the heated seats, steering wheel and climate control. The sporty look and feel of this car along with its streamlined design make me a proud owner. I’ve received many compliments by onlookers.

I've owned a 2017 Ford Fusion SE since 2019 and it's been amazing, right up until someone hit-n-run me causing it to be declared a total loss. I've mostly driven the highway in my Fusion and honestly I'm going to miss it, it's been an amazing vehicle. Started at 33k miles and ended at 74k only having to replace the rotors, brakes and tires in the 5 year time frame.

My wife got her 2017 new the first year we had it the trans cable went out$600 and then just a year later something went wrong with the engine and metal went through the Motor. $10.800 for a new Moter. They suck and i will never own a fusion again. Right over 10010miles the mortar went out.

I. Have a 2017 FORD FUSION SE 2.L ECO-BOOST WITH ONLY 23,000. MILES MY WARANEET THE DEALER SHIP SAID SINCE I BOUTHT THE VEHICLE OFF MY LEASE IN APRIL 20th2021 CHAPMAN FORD IN PHIA.SAID MY WARRANTY WAS GOOD ON THE DRIVE TILL 2026 I WANT TO KNOW IF THE MOTOR WILL LAST THAT LONG, DONT IT MUCH IS THERE A RECALL ON THOOSE 2017 -2020 MOTORS, IM I SAFE WITH THIS MOTOR

The transmission is my no 1 issue. you cant check the fluid and it leaks and runs dry of fluid. I have had this happen 3 times and the service tech only adds fluid to the sealed transmission and wait for it to leak down again. The 2017 Fusion is currently in the shop. Would not purchase it again or recommend it to anyone. Ruth Perrigan

I bought the car one year ago, I did not face any problems. Fuel consumption is great, very comfortable and luxurious compared to its competitors like Sonata, Accord, or Camry. Exterior design gave a car some prestige and took it the car to the next level.

One of the best sedans I have ever owned. It has the 2.0 liter eco boost engine which has plenty of power and decent fuel economy, particularly on the highway. I have heard about engine problems developing around 80k miles but I am not there yet. I always let it cool down at low power or idle before shutting down the engine, which should take care of the problem that I have heard about with the eco boost engines.

I love mine but the lug nuts have Swelled on the tires twice had to replace all the lug nuts. Costing $125.00. All else I love about it
