If you hated the fusion you'll really hate that BMW.
🤣
well said..
You prolly dont care but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost the password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Devin Lyle instablaster :)
@Drake Kason I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I have had a 2014 Fusion for a year and has 150,000 kms it has been almost flawless other then oil changes completely trouble free.
Great cars! Love em too. '19 or '20 last production yr so I'm getting a new '19 Fusion Titanium AWD.
Good to hear! I should be picking one up today
Bad sound.
How often did you change the transmission fluid ?
Just a year? That is both Telling, and Not Telling
some folks don't know that there is such a thing as "dealership tires" and "tires." You could get the same exact Continental ContiPro tires AFTER you bought the car, and they'd likely last longer. Manufacturers put on name brand tires for the appeal and to reflect pricing, but it's actually a lesser quality then it's consumer bought companion.
Or road vantage for $695 and 6 years tires and wheels covered
Odd
My great Fusion is a 2017 Platinum. MSRP was $ 41,300. Included self park, AWD, every possible option. $ 36,000 after discounts. As future proofed as you can get. Parallel parks itself within 6 inches of the curb every time. I did have a frozen screen at 13,000 miles. Did not affect drivability. Dealer replaced the APIM. The fix solved the problem, and oddly, added features I didn’t have. To me, it is a Lincoln with the Ford badge.
How it doing so far
Ohh
I have a 2017 fusion hybrid with 220k miles and it’s still running good. I just changed the brakes and rotors, put 3 sets of tires and changed the spark plugs once good cars!!!
R u in a hot part of the country ?
My control arm just went out , 217,000 miles commuter car runs like a champ
You're crazy man you never changed the oil😮
Did you change the hybrid battery?
I have 2013 Ford Fusion n a mechanic told me I can’t run it over 75 cuz it’s a 4 cylinder cuz it will mess up the transmission, have you had any transmission problems??
If you have a lot of snow, rain, mood, sand or salt you must consider buy a set of floor mats like weatertech or husky, I have it in my Fusion, they are the best money I spend in my car.
I have a 2017 Ford Fusion SE EcoBoost. I have an appointment tomorrow morning for the auto start/stop feature that isn’t working right now causing it to guzzle gas, which the Fusion is NOT!! I haven’t had any major problems with this car 🚘 . I ❤ it!
I purchased a ‘13 fusion hybrid brand new. Consistently get forty plus mpg never had a problem with the car other than a starter battery that had to be replaced that was my own fault. EVERYTHING is original-tires brake bulbs etc. I love this dependable solid car. Would buy it again if they only continued to make them. 👍
Awwww...I'm sad 😞 I loved that car...Well I can't wait to see what your next car is gonna be! Good luck to you in all of your adventures, and hope to see a new video soon. ☺
So far I got 120K miles on my 2016 Ford Fusion 2.5L. No mechanical issue because I’ve kept up with my oil change and tire rotations
I have a 2015 Ford Fusion and my tires have only needed replacing once with 50, 000 miles.
No other problems with it, but mine is the hybrid also.
We had a 2015 Fusion SE and just traded it for a 2020 Escape Hybrid. Getting ready to sell my big Suburban and get another Fusion. AWD this time though. Loved that car.
I have a 2015 Fusion 2.5L engine, no problems @ 66K miles and I 'll keep it basic, less bs to go wrong with it.
The original Michelin all season tires on my 2018 Ford fusion hybrid lasted 45,000 miles and they honestly probably would’ve lasted 50,000 miles but I change them a bit earlier than I needed to since they didn’t seem to be performing as well on wet roads anymore and I felt it handling worse than it had been.
I own a 2017 ford fusion, put 54,000 miles on it under a year, zero problem not even a tire problem. Went back to dealership because I need another car for girlfriend, drove 10 different cars ended up buying another 2017 ford fusion platinum cant stop loving it
Wait til 100k

This exactly what happened to me I bought ford fusion 2017 after 1 year sold it out coz start making noise like wheels going come off steering wheel make car going into the right rather straight I bought Toyota Camry 2018 still got it no problems at all
I have a 2013 Ford Fusion SE and I just hit 89,000 miles on it. It has been a great vehicle and is my daily driver as well. Love it. Replaced Spark Plugs and changed tires once. Also put in a K&N Air Filter. Drives like a champ!!
Is there a dipstick for the transmission cause I don't see it
No engine or transmission problems?
@@Dwightgoss12 I have recently had some work done on the engine. Not the transmission, but the Evaporative purge valve needed to be replaced. I also had to have a motor mount replaced as well. That is about it.
Any battery issues?
My brother has the same car and has been having issues with the car. It seems to just die quick. If we jump start it, it'll work fine for the rest of the day. But by the next day, it's dead again.
I should mention that he usually uses it every other day, not _every_ day. We have also been experiencing high temperatures out here the past 2 weeks or so (95°-105° during the day) but we don't really have any place to park it where it would get better shade than it currently has.
Any idea what could be causing this, or have any advice to help with this?
@@gabeitches87 No battery issues. The only issue I have had with the vehicle is the evaporative purge valve went out for the turbo. Once I fixed that, everything has been running great. I now have 108,000 miles on it.
Its 2021 but I'm still wondering if the gopro giveaway is still available
I drive a 2016 Fusion and I have no complaints. Tires are good and are not wearing irregularly. Only have 27000 miles on it. It's been a great car so far.
@Car Ramrod Really? Jeez. That's cool
For the first minute of the video, I had a vibe that you took it into the outskirts to take out it's memory.
Goodbye Fushie - what a great car!
Spongy breaks is more likely to be air or condensation in the break fluid should have had the fluid changed.
this would make to much sense in a wet climate...… good catch
Change the ties to 1 inch bigger diameter. Less road noise. I use dunlop tires for 65 a tire in walmart. They have 50psi max, i pump em to 45psi.
A pillars squeek or rattle a bit.
It is not the tires that are a problem with the car, it is the low profile rims in the sport package of any car.
frequent tire changes due to the low profile tire?
What is the surprise custom ordered vehicle mentioned in the video?
I have a 2016 SE Fusion and I’m totally happy with this car. I only have 29,000 on this car and drives like a dream. I also bought this car with a Ford discount and I got a free Poly coating, rust proofing and scotch guard on the upholstery. This car can be slightly noisy on the road, but it’s no where as noisy as the Ford Escape.
Just wait til you get over 60k and the piece of shit starts having all kinds of problems right when your warranty goes out. The car will go with it. 2015 fusion with a blown motor at 62k miles
No kidding!
@@alexsandrarokas7117 haha I'm guessing it started going down hill quick
Sell the fusion as soon as you can car is trash
@@alexsandrarokas7117 update?
“I don’t drive the car” 85,000 miles in 4 years
Lol.... over 21k a year. I have a 2013 Fusion with 17500...now that is what not driving much is...haha
@@metubetomuch that’s what not driving much looks like!
My Fusion will be at about 125k come September which will be my 5 year mark. That will put me averaging right at 25k per year.
The road noise sucks bad. Listen to your own videos before posting.
Beautiful Car!!
I miss the quiteness of the fusion.
I got a 2020, handles bad ass.And quiet and the best handling with soft ride i tested out of 6 cars.
Hint. When new, it had the window bounce-back issue. Dealer fix was worthless I found 5 tech bulletins on the issue. Printed them out. Told the service department to follow the guidance. No problems since.
Sweet! Glad this channel fizzled out. Not the brightest apple on the tree.
The hole was probably from you cleaning the car every week, not from the salt.
lol yea I agree it likely wasn't salt. Not to mention the OWNER didn't clean his interior, so who's to say the moron at the cleaning place didn't accidentally use the wrong chemical which ate into the material???? Doubt it's a manufacturing fault lol
I had this same thought
@@billybob7767 Maybe when he wears high heels on Saturday nights? I'm not hating, just sayin'. :D
@@oz_medias agreed, looked like high heels hole to me
the hole in the floor is from the stiletto heels... LOL
What should We keep in our mind while buying an used hybrid fusion pros and cons of it.
Would love to know this as well
I had a 2012 Fusion that I recently traded in. It was a great car - very reliable and comfortable to drive. However it had 108,000 KMs (67,000 miles roughly), it was time to trade it in - I got a 2019 Fusion Hybrid Titanium. I’ve had it less than a week, and so far I love it!
When is it being discontinued
Anish Shah Fors has said that they are keeping the Hybrid Fusion line
I currently have one with 49K miles
It was time to trade it in? Lol only 67,000 miles that's still got life.
@@pitbullchamp3459 right, every car I've owned has made it to at least 180k to200k or more lol
Great vids. Keep it up
Had a fusion about 4years ago and I want another one
Only 4 years?
I bought a used 2011 Ford fusion SEL in 2014 with 71000 miles on it that I drove for 6 years and put an additional 120000 hard miles on and it's still running great. No knocking, no smoking, no oil use at all. The biggest problem I had with mine was the air conditioner went out and I replaced the compressor, the lines and a little box under the passenger side dash and it still leaked freon at a rate of about a can a day. My husband bought me a used 2016 Ford Fusion SE with 54000 miles on it about a week ago and it seems to be a very solid car too. My husband now drives my 2011 bc he's not as worried about the air conditioning as I am. But I have had nothing but good experiences with Ford Fusion that's why when I bought another car I only test drove the 4 Fusion's on the lot bc I knew I wouldn't get stuck with a lemon. I find it funny that you did a video at 80000 miles telling how great your car was and on and on with nothing bad to say and all of the sudden 5000 miles later it's sold and you have a whole list of crap that went wrong with it. Kinda makes me think your videos aren't that trust worthy and maybe you were paid to ditch the Fusion and endorse another vehicle. By the way the road noise in this video was so loud that you could barely hear what you were saying, the Fusion was was much quieter.
2011 fusion is different from the 2013-2021 models
My 2011 Fusion has 200k miles on it now. Im going to replace the shocks and struts on it and go another 100k. Mine has only had 3 sets of tires in 200k miles. The fusion likes touring tires and not the sporty tires. I ran Michelin Defenders and currently I have Cooper Grand Touring tires. I (and the car) like the Coopers much better than the Michelins. They are American owned and made, cheaper, ride smoother, and are quieter than the Michelins I have owned in the past. Im glad the tire dealer talked me into it. But I dunno what you were doing to eat up all those tires LOL. If you wanted a Michelin that would last a long time you shoulda bought the Defenders. I didnt like them to much but they certainly lasted a LONG time.
Mine rode like new until about 180k miles. The shocks and struts are getting a little weak on it and need replacing. But I cant complain after 200k miles lol. Most manufactures recommend new shock and struts at 50k miles.
What motor do you have? Looking for a college car for my son and I know the fusions have a good motors just curious what yours was
@@Mark-zz9rt mine has the regular 4 cylinder. No turbos or anything like that. 2011
Can confirm The climate control issue was indeed caused by a wiring issue. Fixed it in 5-10 minutes after buying the wiring manual with specific diagrams for the car and finding the issue.
what did you fix? Mind sharing the wiring manual?
Wow that's crazy I own a 2014 ford fusion se fwd with the 1.5l. And as of 4 5 2019 I only have 40500 miles on it I must not drive anywhere near as much as you do lol I love my fusion tho just a good not cheap but not expensive car
My buddy from Vermont wore a salt hole so bad that by the time he scrapped the car, you could see clearly through to the road below. The hole was the size of a donut ffs
You must drive like a real tool. I sold mine with the original continental tires with 58000 miles and the tires still had enough tread for another 10 to 15000 miles
Haha that's what I was thinking....
Yea and he replaced them with Michelin well know for amazing ride but short life due to using softer rubber.
My 2011 Fusion with 200k miles has only had 3 sets of tires. The factory tires, Michelin Defenders, and currently Cooper Grand Touring tires. He must have bought the more sporty tires that dont last as long. Michelin Defenders will last a long time but I never did like their ride quality. They always felt out of balance and caused some steering wheel shake. A few years ago I had the Cooper GT tires put on it and they are MUCH better. I didnt know at the time but Cooper is 1 of the 2 only American owned tire companies. Michelin is a french company. But anyhow I think Coopers get easily overlooked.....but they made a believer out of me!
@@JohnnyRebKy how is the road noise with the Cooper GT?
Was your fusion an awd car?
My very first car was Ford. Loved it and there is no other car like it. However, my husband and children don't like Ford. They said Ford stands for Found On Road Dead.
Lol says he never drove the car and has 85 000 miles in 4 years on it.... Mines a 2014 (my only car) and only has 45 000 miles on it.
Yep, mine is a 2015 and hasn't hit 50,000 miles yet!
@@adobelover late to the party, 2020 i have a 16 se fusion and it has 38k
You, have to realize even new cars might have 30000 miles. We don't know the details, of how many miles when he got it.
Mines a 2012 and has 49K miles
My 2015 Fusion has 66K.
At the end of the day you sold the fusion... R.I.P
When his BMW is in the shop, he'll want his Fusion back.
This review is not common with Ford Fusions. They are great cars at decent prices.
The 2.5 is a far better more bullet proof motor than the newer 2.3 motors. The 2.5 is the smaller ford motor built to last if taken care of as well as the 5.0. the 3.5 and 2.7 are not built in house and more problems occur
What about the 2.0 for the 2017 ford fusion se
You look like the bad guy from Cold Pursuit
The road noise sounds like a semi truck.
Was that on autopilot?
It is so obvious the next car on the channel is. Tesla 3 - custom order? I have a 2018 Fusion Energi and it is the best riding car that I owned, including my BMW SUV and car. It is decked out to the max in the interior with driver assistance functions. Very good quality leather chairs and look and feel of the car. I’ve driven a Tesla and the interior is spartan on the Tesla compared to the Fusion Titanium. You will be disappointed.
Says he loves the car, never gets weather tech mats.
Can you please give some idea if someone wants to buy used fusion what are the things to be kept in mind. I deliberately want a fusion but wanna start with used one.
Miles number 1
I got my 2016 2.5L Fusion around 23Kmiles, around 40K it needed new rear brakes and new tires. Tread was good, but soft material worn down, so not so good for winter. My radio screen black screened around 36K miles and I didn't take it in ontime for warrenty, so it is still black screened now at 102K miles. Now at 102K miles I'm looking to replace all 4 brakes come spring, I'm looking at maintenance for 100K. Ford wants arm or leg for spark plug change... a spark plug costs between $2-$9 and there are 4 spark plugs total, so I'm confused how they can charge $479.36 for a very easy change. orange coolant change too $169. transmission says to change oil and filter at 150K miles, but going into second gear mine isn't always smooth the first time starting for the day... so may want to do transmission oil change sooner. I found a bunch of maintenance videos on youtube, many say to get different oils and things changed wayyy before ford recommends. Also I Fluid Filmed under my car to help prevent rust cancer, also tried to get in frame where I could find holes to spray into.
Who thinks the new whip is a Tesla 3?
The only thing more moronic than buying a Fusion with high miles is pissing away money on a new Tesla. So many better hybrid and electric cars coming out but y'all love the taste of daddy Elon's dick.
I have a 2014 titanium same hole in the carpet i had to tighten the carpet under sill plate it just never seemed to fit right. Which made me think it had extra strain in that area. Typical ford half ass job that wont really show until they can site their p
Out of warrenty excuse.
Lots of glitches in the electronics that were all pretty much fixed by updating all the module software. Biggest issue i had and most unexcusable was the dreadful neglegent service i received from 3 out of 4 dealerships i dealt with thank god i found bill pierre ford in seattle the others were utterly incompetent.
I sell a car because of high miles. Bro hasn't seen high miles. The last 3 cars I have bought started with 70k miles. And all of them lasted above 200k. My fusion will probably do the same. Just take care of the car regular maintenance and cleaning that's it. No harder than driving it every day lol
So all into conclusion the Fusion is a reliable car too have than the 2017 Chevy Malibu Bc I’m thinking about get that or a 2018 or 19 Ford Fusion.
You would love the fusion great great car
@@cooperparts HAHA OK!! :D
I have a 2014 titanium and it just hit 100,000 miles. I wanted this car so bad but am now going through my second round of issues. I continue to have fuel pressure issues. I've had repairs done and most recently, it just turns off. If I try to keep it going, it starts to rattle and I don't push it past that. It doesn't give any codes, idk what to do at this point. Mechanics give me guesses but without a code, I'm lost...
Fuel pressure sensor just happened to mine 2 days ago
at 100000 miles,, your problem is the high pressure fuel tappet. .it needs to be replaced.. 10 min job... tappet cost about 30, at the most,, best to change these every 50000 miles..
You had all those issues but never drove it?
Where is the TESLA 3????
Ford fiesta st or awd Ford Taurus sho awd there fast off the line they beat 90% rear wheel drive cars look up you tube where they are at drag strips beating mustang camaro
Those are the perfect sleepers. Nobody suspects to be blown away by those. Lol

So... You didn't drive it but got 85K miles on it... Aha...
The audio is bad
Non Technical review......this guy likes to talk alot and not really do his homework,
Only thing wrong with my Ford Fusion is it says Ford on it
Clearly your brake reservoir needed topping off with dot fluid. What else do you think causes spongy brakes!? Lol. Its not some mystery needing solving by the Scooby doo squad.
What? You mean a convertable, German, sports car, is more fun then a midsized family sedan? Say it isn't so! I've never heard a nice word about the Sony infotainment system in the Fusion. Never drove a 4 year old car car with 85k. That's 20k a year. Somebody was driving that car!
I have a 2015 Ford Fusion and just hit 85k miles
No engine blowing up?
@@aprentiss9833 no lmao
Bought mine a year ago. It's a 2015 fusion S. It had almost 96k on it when I bought it. And I've got almost 132k on it now. No issues.
It's a good looking car now get you a used or 2018 Ford fiesta St there l little ass hauler s and they handle like a go kart good on gas keep a Ford i your line plus that BMW are expensive to mars in the Ford fiesta St s are cheap maintenance
Thumbs down on this vid! Could hardly hear the guy over the road noise.
The Sync and infotainment system gremlins are enough to get rid of any Ford or Lincoln. They really need to resolve this issue. Snap, crackle, wait for it....... No sound or radio. Repeat.
2017 and newer, the Sync 3 is incredible.
That's what problem I'm having with my 2013 titanium
My '18 Fusion Hybrid radio suddenly goes silent on long trips. Only happened a handful of times but to correct I turn off the radio and turn it back on. It's not the literal radio I use it for but the bluetooth stereo to play the music on my phone.
I heard a lot of issues for the vehicle being "flawless". Any given site I go to, these cars are sitting on lots, barely ever past 180,000 miles, and are cheap because you get what you pay for.
GRANTED, if you want to have an old GM, saturn experience with a dead model, swapping parts because it's cheap then feel free to try and work an older fusion. You sold it at that mileage because that's when the bill starts driving uphill, unlike a fusion transmission.
Audio is so crap...
My 2014 Fusion Titanium has 119,000 miles and it has gone through 5 sets of tires, original brake rotors, both rear and front pads, a battery, the defrost motor went out still haven’t fixed it because it’s 500$ to fix and 135$ to diagnose it, also had a problem where my transmission fluid leaked out the axle seal and that was 380$ and the transmission is currently going out. Wouldn’t recommend to get a fusion.... get a Toyota or a Honda

Bitch about the tires? If you have AWD it will wear faster no matter the vehicle. Tires you bought could also be not long life tires. Plus the faster you drive and city etc the more wear on the tires. That is not a complaint. My older Fusion came with Michelins and they still had life by 42k miles mostly highway.
Nice shades first car review from a guy in witness protection
Calling a MAZDA a ford is the real issue.My fusion actually has PLASTIC bearings INSIDE THE ENGINE.I have owned fords all my life.Needless to say ,after this MAZDA /Ford will NEVER darken my driveway again.
' plastic bearings '? were are these ...located?
It was a great car. Looked good, and competitive. But one look at that dashboard, shows Ford doesn'r care about cars any more. Really no one does. Its all about trucks and SUVs. If you want a real Ford, get a F150. If you want a real beautiful classic American vehicle, test drive the King Ranch. It is the absolute best of the best of America.
I have a Ford fusion and love it.
F150 F250 Mustang & all Lincolns EXCELLENT! #Ecoboost
@Brian Waller I know, right. My 1988 F150 blew it's head gasket and I looked into new and nearly new trucks. Decided to learn how to rebuild the 302 small block instead.
Paul M I have a 2017 Fusion Platinum. Dashboard looks great. Basically, they put the Lincoln MKX interior inside the Fusion.
Mine has parking assist, AWD, Adaptable Cruise Control and everything else. It really is an incredible looking dash. Stitched leather and real walnut on the dash. Only complaint is the low profile 19 inch tires. My wife says it rides rough. Must be the low profile tires.
Is it a Tesla?
I had a Ford F-150 2017. It was good the first year but problematic since the second year. Just stay away from ford
He should sell his razor
AWD Vehicles go thru tires faster.Do your homework.even brake pads do not past as long on AWD Vehicles...AWD Vehicles are not necessary unless you live in bad winter states...I'll.never buy AWD again..speakers are cheap in most cars.
My Fusion with AWD 19 inch tires handles incredibly well on rain slicked curved roads. I attribute that to the AWD.
They pay you for this commercial
Ahhh heat not working, heated seats not working, cheap floor carpets on a 4 year owned car is actually pretty bad. You got rid of it because you felt there was other problems coming soon, like most American car anything over 100,000 miles will start having problems. Smart to get rid of it early and thanks I won’t consider now of getting one.
Just wait till he starts driving the BMW.
ugh This guy talks ahhhhhh.......lotttt......
