  • 2014 ford fusion SE 2.0 Fuel Tank Problem - 2014 Ford Fusion
    By -

    I have a loud fuel slushing sound in my fuel tank when tank is 3/4 to full. Ford technical staff told my selling dealer this is a normal characteristic for this vehicle. The dealer filled one of his other se 2.0 fusions on his lot with a full tank of gas, and sure enough it did the same thing as my car. I have had 5 previous NEW Ford cars before this Fusion and they did not make this loud slushing sound. I remember the fuel fire problems that the Ford Pinto had in the 70s and I dont feel safe in this car. Please, anyone have any thoughts on what I can do to resolve this.

  • Owners Manual - 2014 Ford Fusion
    By -

    I purchased the S model Fusion. My complaint has nothing to do with the car itself. Its the owners manual. Over half the manual is dedicated to SYNK. In order to even use SYNK you have to purchase a plan separately which I do not need. Therefore, for me, the manual is of little use. I had to go to a separate web page to learn how to use what does come with my particular car. Ford should have included more detail on what functions are standard (without having to buy other stuff for it to work) for the display and how they work with buttons on the steering wheel. On one Edmonds page it says I have tire pressure notification. Well, I dont see that in the manual so I dont know.

  • So Far So Good - 2014 Ford Fusion
    By -

    I traded in a base model BMW 328i for this Titanium Fusion because I wanted a longer wheel base and a better ride with more amenities. I have driven the car on one road trip that used to kill my body in the harsh riding BMW. There was no comparing the ride quality. Im not comparing vehicles here just how my body reacts to the different road feel. All I can say is I have no regrets on the switch despite the odd looks from my neighbors and the dealership staff. This car drives every bit as well as my BMW and my VW CC prior to that. Its a bit more substantial than both of them which is exactly what I was after. The handling is tight but not harsh and I love the increased size of the car.

  • 2014 SE 2.0 Turbo w/sport pkg - 2014 Ford Fusion
    By -

    Owned the car for almost 2 weeks now, nothing but good to say about it. Has the 2.0 with the Sport Appearance Pkg. While test driving the car, was surprised at the power this engine has. Quiet inside & very comfortable. Excellent visibility all around & controls placed good. Has over 800 miles on it already, mpg via the dashboard around town has been from 26.5 to 28.0, highway from 31 mpg to 33 mpg with a/c on driving easy. I know the dashboard reads higher from what I have read on the Forums, will write an update at a later time as times goes on regarding gas mileage. BTW, using premium fuel. Have owned 2 Fords before this one, have put well over 100K on each one, sure this one will also.

  • Boring Car - 2014 Ford Fusion
    By -

    Im 26 and my parents bought this car for me in the gorgeous blue exterior color while I was living abroad. The interior and exterior of this car really looks luxurious and the comfort of the car is unmatched. But thats pretty much where the positives for this car end. Mine is the old carry-over transmission (which I guess is good because the old transmission has received very high reliability ratings), but its extremely slow, so slow that its frustrating at times. It is in fact the slowest car I have ever driven (even my very first car a 2000 Mitsu Galant drove better) I absolutely hated driving this car and so did my brother. The gas mileage sucks too - I used to get 20 miles a gallon in mixed driving. When I compared this to my brothers Hyundai Sonata, the Sonata lacks behind in interior quality and comfort but overall is a much much better car as far driving dynamics, fuel economy and etc... After owning this car for a year, I gave it to my dad and got a Mustang.

    Ive had quite and experience with buying my first car. Make sure that you check the car inside and out. Test drive it to make sure you feel comfortable driving it. I bought the car not realizing it was bigger than I thought but, over over the car was a beauty. Unfortunately the transmission was bad so I traded it in. But, over all the car was very nice.

  • Transmission Woes - 2014 Ford Fusion
    By -

    I test drove quite a few cars before I bought my 1 owner 2014 Fusion Titanium with 25,000 miles on it (still under Fords 3/36000 warranty) for a killer price. The car was very comfortable, peppy for a 4 cylinder and has a nice ride. The car performed well on my test drive and when I picked it up to take it home and about 20 miles from the dealer I bought it from it began behaving erratically, losing power and then shifting back into gear before the little wrench lite came on telling me to get to a dealership quickly. (The used car dealer I bought it from has been far more supportive than Ford and even offered to return my money and sell me something else while they deal with Ford, but I really liked the car and foolishly opted to deal with Ford myself) I arrived after the service department had closed so I asked about a loaner to get me home. I was told service has the loaners and theyre closed. They helped me find the number to a car rental place, but the only one open was about 15 miles away and didnt deliver. After resigning myself to the fact I was probably just going to sleep in the car in the lot until morning and telling the supervisor the same they freed up someone to drop me off at the rental car place. I wish I had thought to just take a taxi home, but I was pretty stressed and frustrated and wasnt thinking as clearly as normal. The next day the dealership called and said 5th gear is out, but its covered under the warranty. Great! Then came "It may take up to 30 days to get parts". I specifically asked and was told this car is not one of the ones affected by the transmission recall. They asked me if I wanted it fixed or if I wanted to take my car with no 5th gear. Hmmm, think Ill wait for it to be drive-able again rather than risk getting stuck on the side of the road. I authorized them to start the repair and asked again about covering a rental or loaner and they said they would have to pull the transmission first and break it down to figure out what they needed then Ford would decide whether or not I get a loaner or rental approved. They said it would take two days for the removal and breakdown. When I followed up they asked for two more days. When I followed up again they couldnt even tell me if they had pulled the transmission yet and asked me to keep my rental for 3 more days, probably on my dime, while they worked on it. So after having the car a week they apparently have done an initial diagnostic and nothing more. Wishing I would have just taken my check back at this point and bought something else as I have dwindling faith they will manage to get it fixed correctly any time this month.

    What you should know before buying this car is that it has lot of "get up and go" more of a family car than a "first car. I love the back up camera and the customized seat settings, especially the customizable lumbar support.

  • poor transmission - 2014 Ford Fusion
    By -

    i bought this car used with 74,000 on it. and at 84,000 i had a transmission flush done due to being told it could fix the jerking. so 190.00 dollars later the issues went away for about a month. and the issues came back. now at 96,600 the issues are still here and now win your on the highway for about a hour the car feels like u got hit win it shifts gears. and there a slight delay between gears... my mechanic shop says i need a new transmission. i cant afford 3000 for a new one. and the value sucks i payed almost 20,000 for it a little over a year ago and now its worth 10,000 not worth it.
