Ford Fusion Reliability through December 31, 2012

An asterisk (*) marks results based on small sample sizes.

General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.

Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.

New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

What Our Members Are Saying about Ford Fusion Reliability and Durability

Reliability and Durability of the Ford Fusion: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 So far, not one problem
2010 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 I have had zero defects or problems in the 28+K miles on the car. The only complaint I have with the car is the sun visors are not user friendly, they have fixed detents and you can not get them to stay in the desired location without a little effort.
2010 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed automatic FWD		 Consumer Reports says more reliable than Accord or Camry. After 9,000 miles, so far so good. We were going to buy an Accord but they have luggage mashing trunk hinges, but not the Fusion. Plus the Accords are ugly.
2010 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 History of the previous model showed above average reliability in Consumer Reports
2010 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed automatic FWD		 Well engineered and assembled. Comfortable ride and handling. No rattles, loose trim, etc. Good fit and finish.
2010 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I had a 2006 Ford Fusion SE V6 before my 2010 and it was an excellent car, and only got the 2010 because I fell in love with the looks of it. I put 65,000km on my 06 Fusion in 2 and a half years and no problems. It was a great and very reliable car.
2009 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 feels solid, good reviews
2009 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD		 Built strong with attention to detail. Have heard nothing but good things from fellow Fusion owners as to weather they were happy they bought theirs or not, so I bought mine, and agree 100%
2009 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 When comparing reliability with some other cars I considered, Nissan Altima for example, I noticed that Ford Fusion owners rate its reliability close to the owners of Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.
2009 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 Past results have been favorable and I have had no issue after 2900 miles.
2009 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD		 Past reposting.
2008 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 I am pleased with the reliability reported by Fusion owners over the model lifetime so far.
2008 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 Previous models were rated highly, and it was rated above a Toyota Camry by Consumer Reports for reliability.
2008 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD		 Consumer Reports recommended for both previous model years, 2006 & 2007. This was a large influence.
2008 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD		 Reviews said that it was a very reliable car with few maintenance issues
2007 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD		 Currently have onwed the car for over 1 year and not a single issue! Only Oil changes. By no means do I baby the car either.
2007 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 High quality ratings from Consumer Reports.
2007 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic AWD		 Very realilable vehicle. Own it for 16 mths (drove it for about 32000 km) ---No problems so far
2007 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic AWD		 No repairs yet, but since its inception in 2006 the Fusion has been one of the most reliable cars on the road, especially impressive for a completely new model.
2007 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD		 Have had good luck with Fords, and there have not been any major issues with the Fusion since its release in the U.S.
2007 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 No recalls is a great thing. Have had no problems with any mechanical parts. If any small issue arose, Ford dealer would fix it easily. Nothing seems fragile in this car. When closing the door you get a nice solid sound, no rattles or anything.
2007 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 In the two years I have driven the car I have not had to take it back to the dealer for warranty work. Compare this to the Mazda I owned prior to this car that had to go back 3 times for the same problem.
2006 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD		 The car has had few reliability issues.
2006 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD		 I have driven the vehicle 41,000+ miles without a breakdown.
2006 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 I ended up knowing the Service manager and he told me about the engine/transmission combo (4cl/5spM) that he has friends that run this combo with 200 miles plus with no issues.
Reliability and Durability of the Ford Fusion: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 This is a new car in hyrbid that has no track record
2006 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Absoulutely aweful. Put 2 clutches and 1 engine in this car. It was used as a family vehicle, but was in the shop more than we drove it.
