  • The 2019 model year Ford Fusion could be the last one we ever see.. Ford has decided to discontinue it's midsize sedan and I think it's a big mistake.. here's why! / autovlog
    If you are an early follower of this channel you will know that I had a 2015 Ford Fusion Titanium and without that car this channel would never be where it's at! But besides what it did for the channel that car was amazing!
    I never really had an issue with it and for the 3 years it was mine and it was a sad day when I had to let it go. Ford motor company has now decided to discontinue the Ford Fusion and I think it's a bad idea so in todays video we take a look at what might be the last Ford Fusion we ever see..

      It really isn’t a dumb idea for ford to dump the sedans. Japanese sedans are better quality for better price with better mpg all the way around. In American, we want trucks and pickups. Ford can make SOO much more money just selling trucks and the mustang. It’s a business decision and I can bet ya it will be a plus for Ford down the road

    The Fusion is a great car. My wife loves hers. That said, people are buying more trucks and SUVs and Fusion sales have taken somewhat of a nosedive in 2017, with numbers being even worse so far in 2018. If Ford follows through, with their plan to stop selling the Fusion, it'll eventually come back.

      My 2014 Ti Hybrid has 64000 on it. Love the car now but when I got it ,it had a lot of problems. Spent the better part of a year in the shop. The blind spot system was having malfunctions, the cam shaft position sensor kept going out every 5K miles, and the thing couldn't hold its oil. The dealer ended up replacing the radar modules and some of the sensors and the blind spot & cross traffic worked again. For the cam shaft position sensor...just keep tossing them at the car until one works. The last cam shaft position sensor seems to be a winner as it has lasted about 10K miles. The oil problem was noticed during the first oil change where it all drained back out. From what I was told they had to replace nearly every seal in the engine. The service person working on the car didn't quite get everything buttoned up and exhaust gasses were coming into the cabin after that large fix. I will probably not buy another Ford after this ordeal. Hopefully I am past the problems and the car will be trouble free going forward.

  • @joethetrucker6834

    The Fusion is one of the best looking cars in its class. However, I believe the reasons sales are weak due to a dated interior and poor fuel economy. It’s tough to make the case for the Fusion when Camry’s and Accord’s can pull down 40 mpg on the highway. The ecoboost engines have never lived up to the promise of efficient performance.
    Ford just doesn’t want to put the money into updating the car properly.

      Both the Camry and Accord have upgraded interiors by comparison. Of course, those were redesigned for 2018.
      I recently was driving a 2018 Fuzion Hybrid as a loaner and I noted how some HVAC controls are only accessible via the screen. If you are running android auto (as I was), it requires several steps to redirect airflow.
      Mind you, I really like the Fuzion. I just think it could use an interior update.

Look at even the Peugeot 508 2019 and the Audi A4 2019 and you'll see why this feels VERY outdated. It's sad, but it's a truth, lots of brands, mainly japanese and american, still fail to understand the concept of a cosy interior with high quality finish/durability.
      To me it's not important at all, I still would take a GT350 over any Porsche or Ferrari etc... but to most people, sales numbers don't lie sadly.

Ford I believe need to keep the Fusion as their soul sedan for their lineup. I can see why Ford is discontinuing the the Taurus, focus, and fiesta, but definitely not the Fusion, but Ford needs a least one car in their lineup. I think it should be the Fusion because it’s a perfect sized car and it is the biggest car in its class. I would be happy if Ford in the future decides to keep the fusions, they are great cars and mine has been good to me in the past eleven months of ownership.

    The Fusions are nice! I had a 2011 SEL that was a really nice machine, and I now drive my wife’s 2019 S that we bought with 6 Miles on the clock since we bought her a newer Volkswagen Atlas. The 2019 has the 2.5L inline 4 while my 2011 SEL had the 3.0L V6. The 2019 isn’t as peppy as my old 2011, but I still love the 2019 and it’s been used as our travel car since we bought it. It now presently has 39,100 Miles on it as of my comment.

Silent, self charging battery, and not to mention the smooth turning and parking. I was thinking about getting one myself, but I wanted a small truck; 2008 Chevy Colorado base model. Although, I wouldn't complain if this Fusion were to be my next vehicle.

It's great car, there's just too many of them and Ford needs to thin the heard for a few years in order to rekindle the demand for new vehicles. That's my guess anyways.

The 4runner was just a phase, and eventually I got tired of climbing in and out of it, just to go somewhere. We will see how long the SUV craze goes on... I think that dropping cars from the line up is a bad idea, and although I understand why, I don't have to like it.

But at about 340,000 miles the transmission started to act up. You could not kill that engine. I have a 2016 now. Just got to 90,000 miles and the brakes are still good. The original tires I thought where excellent. I put 60,000 miles on those. I will miss the Fusion. Like you said, it's just a great car to drive.

    I drive a 2014 fusion Titanium and she never disappoints me! Just dropped on vogtlands lowering springs and her who character has changed. Not only stance but performance and true sport feel. Not so loose steering feel like all. I'll forever keep it and go big turbo eventually
