The thing is... There aren't any issues with the engine or tranny lol ... At least not on mine. I have a 2013 Ford Fusion hybrid with 269,000+ miles, and I've never had any engine or transmission problems, whatsoever. All I've done is basic maintenance. It's the single most reliable car I've ever owned. Really, the only issues I have are quirks like the issues in this video. My backup camera image is flipped for some reason (maybe I need to replace it, there's some on eBay for $25). And my steering wheel buttons are acting up, which is possibly a clock spring issue, which is another easy/cheap fix
The Buttons don’t matter.. how it run smooth and faster it great I love how it has sport mode. Anyways the car Engine is great… I did my research before getting it .. i love how the back it has a lot of room for people to sit in the back and there feet ain’t Squish. Also the Trunk is hella big. Perfect car
I have a 2020 i bought new, only 9000 miles. Great car, mazda engine, timing chain,no cvt transmission,no turbo (dont like them... They suck for long term IMO) handles very good, brakes great, quiet, great car, ALOT of standard features.
Buttons aren't even a problem! I hate having to screw around with a touchscreen while I'm driving. With buttons you can actually feel what you're trying to press without looking at it and taking your eyes off the road.
HAHAHA i am thinking about getting the 2013 but now I know the leaves fall off... this dude would settle for a 2000 corrola cuz the leaves r disheartening! like bruh
My mom has a 2017 fusio white ecoboost base. Bought it used in 2020 with 33k miles. Had one previous owner. No major issues and gets an oil chang every 6 months.
I actually have a 2016 Fusion with the 8 inch screen so I don’t have these issues as there are less buttons and the backup camera view is good. Also mine isn’t a hybrid and I still get 32mpg
What year do you have. I’m definitely thinking about getting one. I’ve done some research there is an active recall for years I believe 2014-2018 but of course Ford will fix the problems for free
I much prefer BUTTONS over a touchscreen!!! With buttons, I don't have to look at it before pressing a button like I do with a touchscreen! Please, BRING ALL THE BUTTONS BACK!
I have a fusion S. Basic model. The screen is small. Now I have 20/20, so the screen is fine for me. But unless you have poor vision (which means you should be wearing corrective lenses) the backup camera is fine. No issue at all with the mirror, never noticed there were a lot of buttons since they all do something. Sometimes with lower models you have buttons that don’t do anything, so maybe that’s where there are a lot. There’s probably less in more expensive models be they are built into the touchscreen. Lastly, how weird is it that’s grown man is saying virtual leaves falling off a virtual tree makes him “feel” bad. I do appreciate this review though because I love my car and since he had no legitimate issues with the car it makes me feel like I made a great decision.
I have a 2016 I love this car, only issues to put headlights on high beam, you push forward instead of pulling dimmer switch to you. also the wiper blades look weird when in motion.
Where are the Temp & RPM gauges? How do you setup visual temp & RPM gauges??? Thanks, don’t need leaves to taking up space over actual visual Tach & Coolant gauges?
Sync 3 fixed this for us. Went from ‘15 fusion to ‘17 fusion after unfortunate accident. The size of the touch screen is huge, even compared to my ‘21 Equinox fleet vehicle.
Im sorry but the 2013 Titanium, is not fuel efficient. Alltgough i could be wrong or it is the mods ive done but my fuel economy is around 19-22 mpg, God forbid im in traffic than it drops to like 5. Although cruising around is really fun
I have always put 91 high octane, My 2018 hybrid is half electric but the motor side runs like any ither motor, i believe it was designed for regular ole 87 but preferencewise i prefer high performance, even though i pay more the dividends should pay itself off..
@@martinuy438 Id recommend you give it regular if that’s what it’s calling for the higher the octane doesn’t mean the higher quality it just means it has a higher heat and pressure point as to when the piston is moving in and out and because of this it could cause some problems down the road from not causing the correct explosions due to higher resistance than needed for a four cylinder
i got a 2016 se 2.5 fusion and i dont like the button set up either i go to adjust the bass on stereo and end up skipping the song i was listening to! mirrors are little small but other than that i love my fusion! tinted the windows 5% around and blacked out ALL the chrome and with the deep impact blue it is a head turner!
how is the visibility out your windows at night? and how well can you see in from the front windshield? was wanting to tint mine to 5% as well. i have 15% on my durango and can barely see out of it at night but people can see in too easily during the day. thinking about doing 5% all around then maybe a 65-75% tint on the front windshield with a 5% as1 strip.
and mine is blue as well! how did you black out the chrome? did you paint it or get it wrapped? i wrapped the chrome on my durango to fully black it out. and thinking about doing the same on the fusion
@@justabrokeredneck it was hard to see out the windows at night at first but i got use to it! and yes i blacked out all the chrome and wheels and even painted the bottom trim black around the hole car it looks good i get compliments at least once a week from people !!
I actually thought you were going to talk about something about the transmission or wheels or motor.... Because those seem to be more like your opinion.... well if you haven't had a problem with the engine or transmission then it's a reliable car
Well, I have the 2018 model, and let me tell you I am totally disappointed with the car. I need a total engine replacement and have been waiting nearly three months for it to be delivered to the dealership. Engine coolant is leaking into the engine cylinders. The first dealership I took it to had it a week and didn't fix the problem. It took a second dealership to tell me that it needs a total replacement. Last time I will buy a Ford that is for sure. Looks like it is back to foreign made cars again.
Joe Franks hey Joe. Is this a common problem with the fusion? Do you have the 1.5 ecoboost? I’m interested in the fusions and am researching the engine. I currently have a 2016 Chevy malibu, and HATE the 1.5 turbo that It has. It needed a new engine also, at 39k miles! So ya I’m dumping the Chevy and never buying a Chevy again. I knew I should have never left Toyota 🤬
You are in a base model with no frills. When you grow up and have more experiences you might understand the car concept. Stick to what you know like hats and sunglasses.
When I was young sports car the best but now I relies a eco cars is better cause you can trust it when traveling hours also gas matters if your in moutain or dessert believe me no gas in long empty road ur screwed
There's some real issues that you didn't mention! more serious like the th-35 transmission (hybrid) going bad, that's some real issues my guy, some transmission can even make it past 30,000 miles. You should rename this video with things that I dont like. Cheers man
Losing leaves makes you feel bad.... Seriously. You are a complete millennial. FWIW, I own a 2016 SE AWD... I find it to be quite a sporty little car at 240 HP and 270 lb/ft of torque. It's every bit as much fun as my '06 Grand Prix GXP and nearly as much fun as my '07 Quattroporte. Anyone considering the purchase of a Fusion, I recommend the 2.0l turbo charged engine and to hell with the hybrid version.
5 things you didn't have to complain about basically. Get a nav model and your dash problems go away including backup cam. Dash? Change the screen .. Trunk? You got plenty! I have a plug in version that's half the space of yours. So what are you complaining about again? Lmao
Hey Mike hope you had fun in Hawaii. I wanted to drop you a line and let you know I'm moving back home to Bend I. A few weeks. Maybe you would be interested in a dual Tacoma comparison or review. I have a 2017 4x4 SR5 double cab Tacoma. Let me know if you are interested in getting out and even just got messing with our trucks?
Congrats on the move! I'm sure you'll enjoy being home. Things are pretty hectic lately but a comparison might be interesting once you get here and things have settled down on my end.
you complain about the back up camera being too small, but you shouldn’t rely on a back up camera when backing up, you should rely on your mirrors & looking back while backing up.
Worst fusion fails -Gdi engine -to much plastic/plastic chrome(like all new cars) -i predict not many of these ecoboost fusions on the road in 15 years
just need to disassemble the middle console where the shift dial is, and there’s a small metal piece that’s supposed to make contact with a button to trigger the shifter but it doesn’t. simply hit the small button and it should be fine
How does this dude have 6.5k subscribers....his first 2 complaints aren't even close to valid considering it is based on which model you get. The complaint about the mirrors is false, considering the Tacoma mirrors are almost the same size, and the Audi ones are just longer. Then really? Leaves bother you?? And then he is complaining about trunk space, when he drives a truck and an suv....yeah, definitely seems comparable.
@@DrivenCompanion the hybrid version is expensive to fix after the hybrid battery and cables fail, around $1,000-$2,000 to replace, and Peepeehead, to answer your question yes the 2012 Ford Fusion is probably the best year of Fusion you can buy, if you haven’t already bought one, when you test drive it make sure the motor doesn’t shake when you buy it or you’ll have to replace the motor/transmission mounts
"Those little leaves are going to make me feel bad about that." Can you guess the generation this guy is from??? I'm going to guess the one that was rewarded just for showing up and can't be accountable for ANYTHING! It's not meant to make you "feel", it's meant to teach you how to improve, although the Accel, brake and cruise coach is better. Obviously this kid knows nothing about this car. The only button that is annoying and unnecessary is the start/stop button. The gas mileage IMPROVES on hybrids when you're stuck in traffic. That's when these cars shine because you stay in electric while you hear all the boneheads with start stop engines killing their motors and starters.
In my opinion i think the quality is better than most brands i drove before. I have a 17 fusion energi with black leather and the steering wheel feels great unlike Nissan and chevy but i do also like chevy
Smh I thought it was gonna talk about Engine and transmission issues but I’m looking at a video about buttons and mirrors
No same this disappointed me

Yea my '17 has a screen.
I'll take the 2.5L engine anyday, it's bullet proof.
You picked the wrong car for you.
The backup camera in my 2012 Fusion hybrid is twice as large as yours, and the door mirrors are larger too.
i have the titanium edition and its amazing i love it!!!!!! only 55k on it
I like the milage... but I hate the leaves.. and also the trunk is small.

Wwwaaaa!!?!?!
I drive 2019 fusion hybrid the screen is much larger but it a great car. I agree with your fifth statement about the trunking space.

I stopped watching when he didnt list any major problems, and after he said he owned an audi.
I was going to get a fusion but I got a sonata instead and it's so much better haven't had any issues and its 4 years old
What year and model is it?
Tamjid Khan how do you know it’s better if you didn’t get the fusion??
Logan Robinson bruh
Where are the Temp & RPM gauges? How do you setup visual temp & RPM gauges??? Thanks, don’t need leaves to taking up space over actual visual Tach & Coolant gauges?
Have to go into the settings to make the temp and rpm "gauge" graphics pop up in MyView. I agree, those should always be visible .

I use 89 Octane with a few ounces of Marvel Mystery Oil to keep my fuel pump lubricated.
I SWEAR IF YOU SAY BUTTON ONE MORE TIME... Lol
Step one: get SEL with tech package. Step two: get eco boost engine. 4/5 problems solved.
