  Worst car Ive owned in 20 years of driving. Run. - 2015 Ford Fusion
  By Russ D. - February 10 - 3:17 am

  Loses 50% of value in one year. Shifts horribly. Particularly from 2nd-3rd, as well as down shifting on down hills when applying the brakes. Not at all the time, but enough to make you flinch, expecting it to lurch you forward in your seat. Didnt happen during test drive or I definitely would not have purchased. Took it to dealer, was told this was "normal behavior" for this transmission and handed a print out of internal service bulletin ststing the same. Note to Ford: If you get so many complaints about an issue there is an ISB created for it, perhaps your definition of "normal behavior" should be reevaluated. Cheap feel to materials on interior, especially the doors. When you press on the door to exit, it just feels like dry-rotted foam behind it. Doors dont seal well, lots of dust/dirt spring through fall, doors freeze shut in winter. Trim doesnt line up, just a general lack of attention to detail. Rides smooth and quiet, perhaps the best on those 2 items of any car Ive ever owned. Beyond that...Beautiful aesthetically, useless functionally. Begrudgingly looking to trade in despite the huge financial hit.

  Love driving it...when it starts - 2015 Ford Fusion
  By Byron Hazard - July 10 - 1:13 pm

  I have the SE 1.5 Ecoboost. In terms of the engine, it is either eco or boost, never both. I have achieved as high as 45 MPG when doing mostly highway driving in good weather. Driving in colder weather and/or with a heavy foot will bring you down to around 27 MPG. My car says my average is just north of 33 MPG. Acceleration is good once the turbo kicks in when in sport mode as long as you pick the correct gear. While the 1.5 is not much faster than the 2.5, it feels faster and more spirited; it is absolutely worth the extra $800. The drawback to the small displacement motor is that added weight decreases acceleration dramatically, but since I drive solo most of the time, its not a big deal. In regards to the select shift, it is not instantaneous, but shifting .5-1.0 seconds before you want it to shift fixes that issue. The ESC on this car is amazing. The traction control is good, but not so good that you cant easily spin your tires if you step on it (unlike my previous 2014 Mustang that couldnt spin ever). While being easier on the throttle, the TC works great in the winter. Overall, the handling is superb. In the comfort department, I have zero complaints, and I am 6 4". I have taken this car on 14 hour trips and it is amazing compared to other vehicles, especially Ford Super Dutys. The overall design and technology that this car has is wonderful. Now onto the bad. I have had at least on of my windows frozen shut almost every day this month with no visible ice on them. Also, the trunk likes to freeze up as well. I have never had a car so prone to freezing up, but the temperature has fluctuated higher and lower than the freezing point a fair amount this month in WI. The largest issue that my car has is a parasitic draw on the battery. It has been dead five times in the 21 months that I have owned it, once in as short as 12 hours. Ford cannot diagnose the problem, so they extended my warranty, but will not give me any real incentive to get me in a new car. That being said, I am going to cut my losses (resale value sucks, trade-in is half of MSRP in less than two years) and get a 2017 as soon as the normal rebates are higher because when I buy a car, I want something that starts up every time. The Fusion is a wonderful car, and there are plenty of perfectly functioning ones out there, and I hope for better luck next time.

  When God gives you lemons, make lemonade - 2015 Ford Fusion
  By paul - May 21 - 11:22 am

  I am one of the unlucky people that got a lemon. Thankfully, its a lease and they will get it back soon enough. The car is haunted with some kind of electrical problem. On three occasions, weve come out in the morning to go to work, and the car is totally dead. Towed to the dealer by Ford Roadside Assistance (a joke at best, but thats another story), and the battery was supposedly defective. Replaced the battery, and that lasted a month. Next two times, ....they cant find anything wrong. I suspect some sort of parasitic drain, but what do I know. We are just going to try to get to the end of the lease, and get rid of it. Hopefully, my wife will not get stranded, or worse, injured. We were Toyota people for years with no issues. We wanted to "buy American", so we switched to Ford. Guess thats a fail. (Warning...DO NOT let a tow truck operator use a hammer and a wood wedge to jimmy open the driver door enough to get to the inside handle. Theres a little access latch right behind the exterior door handle......yes...this really happened!!) BTW, I could not select the proper model from the drop down menu as it wasnt listed. Its a SE, 1.6 liter ecoboost

  Very good car - 2015 Ford Fusion

  Great little car, keyword...little - 2015 Ford Fusion
  By Larry - September 17 - 10:04 pm

  Great looking car, ride is decent for a small car. Getting in and out is the reason we traded into an Escape. That and the seats will cripple you on a trip. Highly dependable and we had only 2 warranty issues, both with the outside mirrors delaminating which the dealer took care of quickly. The 2.5 engine is more than enough engine for most drivers but its no hot rod. Gas mileage for us was 24-26mpgs town driving and 38-44 hiway. Seems like 65 is the best speed for gas mileage for ours. That would be in Texas heat and rolling hills. Brakes were great but the car has more than expected road noise. On course asphalt you cant hardly hold a conversation and for a modern car, thats no longer acceptable. Trunk space is limited as is the back seat area. This is not a crowd hauler or family car. For the wife to go to and from work, it did the job but after sitting in traffic for an hour, she couldnt hardly get out of it due to the seats and the cab forward design which makes it hard to get in and out. While I wouldnt exactly call it an econonbox, its not much of a step up from a Focus which was her previous car.

  Still like new - 2015 Ford Fusion
  By Barty - July 19 - 4:36 pm

  Purchased this pre owned certified car from dealer for what I consider to be a reasonable price. Although it has 36,000 miles its in great shape and I bought the extended warranty just in Case! There is an annoying little rattle (more of a ticking) that seems to only happen when I drive...versus the dealer! Ha. The entertainment controls are cumbersome... And there are about four different ways to change the temperature or radio channel. I vote for simplicity over trending.
