Ford Fusion Reliability

Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Ford Fusion rather than another vehicle? TrueDelta will be providing this information in the form of "times in the shop" and, later, "lemon-odds" stats in addition to problem rates.

The latest Vehicle Reliability Survey results include Ford Fusion reliability information:

To provide comprehensive results, TrueDelta needs reliability data on all cars--not just the Ford Fusion--from people like you. To encourage participation, those who help provide the data will receive free access to the site's reliability information. Find out the details.

Ford Fusion Repair Histories

To supplement our Vehicle Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Ford Fusion repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.

Individual responses to both tbe Vehicle Reliability Survey and the Vehicle Repair History Survey are posted here:

Ford Fusion Repair Histories

Ford Fusion Extended Warranty

Concerned about the Ford Fusion's reliability? Considering an extended warranty? Warranty Direct is a 26-year-old company with nearly 2 million contracts sold and over $500 million in paid claims.

Yes, this works out to about $250 per contract. Like insurance, extended warranties are best bought to limit downside risk, and from a company that is almost certain to remain in business. While for most people extended warranties will not pay off, for some they will pay for themselves many times over.

Be aware that, like many extended warranty providers, Warranty Direct does not pay for diagnostic charges and will only pay up to the "usual and customary" amount of labor, about $85/hour.

If you are unsure about the Ford Fusion's reliability, or simply want the peace of mind afforded by an extended warranty, you can click here to purchase one from Warranty Direct.

Ford Fusion MSRP and Invoice Prices

Whether comparing two vehicles or just pricing one, you can forget about digging through trim lines, option packages, prerequisites, and the like one by one -- the TrueDelta algorithm uniquely figures these out for you in one swift pass. Results include both MSRP and invoice prices for the Ford Fusion. Price the Ford Fusion.

Ford Fusion Price Comparisons

Ford Fusion Dealer Price Quotes

Requesting dealer price quotes or buying a car through CarsDirect (ad in the sidebar) helps support TrueDelta while getting you a great price on a new car. Start by selecting a model in the "NEW: Get a Price" box at the top of the CarsDirect homepage.

For dealer price quotes in fewer clicks, select the make and model in the box to the right (via Autos.com, owned by CarsDirect).

Ford Fusion Fuel Economy

Everyone knows that government estimates often aren't indicative of the Ford Fusion's real-world fuel economy.

In response, TrueDelta began collecting fuel economy data from owners of the Ford Fusion, with the intent of providing real-world fuel economy estimates customized to how and where you drive.

Note: TrueDelta hasn't been collecting this data for long, so there are often just a few results in raw form.

Why (Not) the Ford Fusion? (reviews)

For car buyers' reasons for buying a Fusion--or not--click here.

Want another perspective? Since 1999, Michael Karesh, the developer of TrueDelta, has contributed reviews to Epinions, where he is one of two people who oversee the autos section.

Michael's most recent Ford Fusion review.

Note: The older the review, the more likely it has become outdated owing to more recently introduced competitors.

Ford Fusion Tire Reviews

The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Ford Fusion tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Ford Fusion--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.

The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
