| Answer to: 2012 ford fusion SEL sport AWD | 66Relevance | 5 years ago | Kerem | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Previous posts about the Ford fusion Most common problems: Power Steering Failure (see more) transmission Jerks or Hesitates Shifts are Rough Overall I would recommend avoiding the Ford fusion because of its major problems. You could do better for the money. The fusion is nearing decent at best. Ford also doesn't care about their customer's safety one bit so recall work or major safety issues that pop up should make you very wary of this vehicle. | |||||

| I am hoping to trade in an old Focus with just under 300K miles that has served me well.. I have done a fair amount of research and am on a budget. The local Ford dealership has the 2020 fusion 1.5L SE (with the 360 Copilot) for $16,000, and a 2020 fusion 2.5L I-VCT S for $14,000 brand new. I'm looking for a midsize, and while I know that the Camry will last longer, the cheapest base model new was $24K. The Accord also went for right around 24K. If I try to find a Camry used, I see them with 40-60K miles for that price. Is it worth it to sacrifice my bell ... | |||||

| I'm in my second fusion. I had the 2013 fusion with the 2.5L. Went over 120,000 then traded it in on a 2017 fusion with the 2.0T. I prefer the 2.0T because of the power. I do a lot of highway driving and needed the extra umph the Turbo has. That said, the 2017 fusion with the 2.0T had an engine issue that caused coolant to leak into the crankcase. The Ford Dealer replaced the long block at 42K miles free of charge. I used to drive Acura TL's before the fusion and I can say the fusion ride is much better and quieter than the TL's. I think your wife will be h ... | |||||

| See below: also avoid the naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 as they have a water pump installed internal to the engine driven by a timing chain - if/when it leaks and mixes with oil it can worst-case damage the engine; even if caught in time it’s still a partial engine out to replace the water pump ($1,200-$2,000 job). | |||||

| I would forget the 1.5 fusion, that is an Ecoboost and they are nothing but problems. I would also think twice about the Accord because unfortunately, for whatever reason, Honda decided to turbocharge both engines. The 2.5 fusion is actually a good car that should last. However, if it were me I would go for the Camry as it can last you forever. Overall I would say that the Camry is worth it, although the 2.5 fusion isn't bad either. The weakest link on the fusion is the transmission so if you do end up with one don't drive it too hard. | |||||
| 2021 Honda Accord Touring vs 2017 Ford Fusion Sport | 31Relevance | 5 years ago | daw_son | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scotty! I’m looking at two cars, the first is the 2017 Ford fusion Sport (v6 2.7L twin turbo) and a 2021 Honda Accord Touring 2.0L turbo, not the 1.5 one. The Ford fusion Sport is at 49 k miles for $22,500 and the Honda Accord Touring is selling at $37,895. Which should I get? I like both because they’re sporty. The fusion definitely is faster but I know the honda would last way longer. I can easily afford the $22,000 though compared to the Touring. What should I get? I know the fusion sport has problems and the water pump issue. What the heck do I do? | |||||

| Answer to: Ford Should Not Have Discontinue The Fusion | 31Relevance | 5 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| II had a 2013 fusion, the styling was killer. I first noticed our parking enforcers in college had them when I was getting close to graduation time and I thought it was some exotic thing. It was a Ford fusion, that became the next car I wanted. I bought one used in 2016 and loved the car. It didn't quite have the get-up and go that I would've liked, but I had the 1.6L, not the 2.0. I'd still have it, but I got a sweet deal I couldn't pass up on for a brand new leftover 2017 Mustang in 2018 and I traded my fusion. That fusion with my Mustang's 3.7L V6 would h ... | |||||

| This is purely my opinion and I'll respect yours if it opposes mine. Before I bought my 2021 Camry SE, my daily horse was a 2015 fusion SE. I had heard people talked about how unreliable American cars were. But the look of the fusion had me at first sight. So I bought a 2015 fusion instead of a 2015 Camry. I have drove the fusion almost 7 years and she had 100k+ miles after we parted. I never had any issues with it. All parts, even the brake pads, were in good shape after the 100k miles. Everything original. I had ran over potholes, rough roads, dirt roads, ... | |||||

| The 2010 Ford fusion has had a lot of recent recalls, including for this year, for the airbags: See the recalls here: The transmissions problems have been serious enough to engender class-action lawsuits: Unless the 2007 has had the pistons and valves replaced (as some were, due to oil burning, because of bad design), stay away from those. The Mazda 6 is largely a rebranded fusion, with the problems mentioned above. __ I agree with Kerem (above). Get a 2005-06 Camry, if it checks out mechanically and electrically, or a pre-2007 Solara (if you li ... | |||||

| I owned a 2015 fusion SE before I traded it in for my current 2021 Camry SE. I must say that my 2015 fusion was an extremely great and reliable car. I sold it at 120,000 miles and it never had any issues. A contributing factor would be my tendency to perform maintenance religiously. Oil change every 5k, transmission fluid change every 60k and all that good stuff. It was funny when I found out a man lived a couple blocks away bought my 2015 fusion from the dealership I sold it to for his college age son. Last time I saw them, the car had 144k miles and still ... | |||||
| Toyota faulty U760E transmissions | 28Relevance | 5 years ago | mdgreg101 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty, CAR: 2012 Toyota Camry LE, 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, U760E SIX-SPEED AUTOMATIC transmission. MILEAGE: 95,850 (you are seeing this correct a one owner Toyota Camry with less than 100K miles that needs a new transmission) AGE: 8.5 YEARS (I bought it new in 2012) PROBLEM: 2012 Toyota Camry transmission Shudder (diagnosed at Principle Toyota by the dealers service department)(they also ran a glycol test which was negative). SOLUTIONS: Torque Converter Replacement at Toyota Service Department $2310.25 includes tax (warranty 1yr 12K miles). transmission Replacement (remanufactured) at Toyota Service Department $7116.09 includes tax (warranty 1yr 12K miles). Rebuild existing transmission at local transmission shop $3800 (only called on phone and got approximate estimate) includes tax (warranty 2yr 24K miles). Hindsight 20/20: If you have a 2012 - 2014 Toyota Camry you will not be able to tell that your car has an issue unless you are a mechanic yourself and if you are you may still not realize it as the shudder is very slight. I am just realizing that my car had this issue when I bought it new. I took it to the dealer at 25K and they only did the software update and did not replace the torque converter. If you have one of these cars that is less than 8 years old and with less than 150K call the dealer ASAP and force them to replace the torque converter as it is under warranty (no matter what the dealer tells you). If your Camry is older than 8 years or has more than 150K miles go to the dealer ASAP and get them to change the transmission fluid and filter (no matter what the dealer tells you). Unfortunately the service manual for this car says that the transmission has lifetime fluid and there is no service intervals for changing the fluid and filter on this transmission. You will have to take this into your own hands and start getting the fluid and filter changed on the transmission every 30K miles (no matter what the dealer tells you). Save all of your service receipts on this vehicle and never throw them away even if you no longer own this car. Keep a copy of the title if you sale the car. Start a file and make detailed notes of your experience with this vehicle and put all documents related to this vehicle in the file and never throw them away (I believe that this issue will become a class action lawsuit). You should also start to save $4000 to get the transmission rebuild as there is nothing that will help this transmission in the long-term (keep your receipts and put them in your file). I hope that you will leave this posted on your web-site as is. I believe that the transmission issue that I am having with my 2012 Toyota Camry is larger than just the 795K 2012 - 2014 Camry's that Toyota is saying it effects and that it is a not an issue but a bad design that is effecting approximately 15 million Toyota's that are on the road today with the U760E, U760F, U660E, and U660F. I wish I could drive my 2012 Toyota Camry to you but I am not sure it would make it. I live in Memphis, TN and while I know it is a little far for you to come from where you now live in TN I think you need to drive a few of these cars and post a video telling your viewers and letting them know that there is an issue with the 2012 - 2014 Camry transmission. You also have a video telling them to buy one of these 2012 - 2014 Toyota Camry's with the U760E SIX-SPEED AUTOMATIC transmission. I hope you will take it down until you get the chance to research this issue and drive these cars. I think if you do some research online and check the Toyota forums you will find this popping up on all of the Toyota's with these transmissions from 2010 to 2019. I wish you could drive my 2012 Toyota Camry to you but I am not sure it will make it. Maybe we could meet in the middle somewhere. I am up for trying to get the car to you if it helps to save just one person some money on the Shell Game Toyota is running on their customers. Reason for the shell game at Toyota: 795,000 Camry's effected per LSC E03 Replace all 795,000 torque converters = $1,836,648,750.00 (billion) Replace all transmissions with a remanufactured transmission = $5,657,291,550.00 (billion) Below in bold is the exact letter that I emailed to the service director at the dealership and to Toyota corporate: Toyota new spin on an old favorite, "The Shell Game"! I was curious last night what transmission my Toyota Camry has on it. From my few hours research online last night I found it was the U760E. I attached some rough numbers I looked up on Wikipedia last night on the potential total vehicles that could have this U760E. This seems to be more than likely the most common transmission on all of the Toyotas that were 4 cylinders. However, I will concede that some do have the U760F, U660E, and U660F. However, from my limited research I believe that all four of these transmissions are somewhat similar and share many of the same attributes. I did not pull the numbers on potential cars that have the U760F, U660E, and U660F as it would have just added to the already surprising number of vehicles this transmission shudder probably actually effects. The Toyota on-line forums are filled with this transmission shudder issue on all the Toyota's year and model that are on this spread sheet. I now understand why I got the shell game ran on me in 2015 and how it was done. Shell Game Toyota admits there is a problem with the transmission by issuing in October 2014 Limited Service Campaign E03 to only update the software. Then the next month in November 2014 start mailing letters to the customer saying we have just issued Warranty Enhancement Notification - ZE5 to do three things, put in a new torque converter, additional transmission pan magnets, and update the software. This puts both LSC E03 and WEN ZE5 in play at the same time for the same transmission issue. I received my letter for WEN ZE5 in the mail. I call and set up an appointment for WEN ZE5 and in good faith walk into my local Toyota service department Principal Toyota Memphis, TN in March of 2015 with my WEN ZE5 letter in my hand and say I am here to get WEN ZE5 taken care of. In good faith I pick up my car thinking that WEN ZE5 has been taken care of. However, it turns out that what was done was LSC E03 and not WEN ZE5. You should probably hurry up and reach your verdict as in only a few days of research online and a few hours spent calculating numbers on the attached Excel Spreadsheet I am starting to uncover something that seems to have been going on for some time and is still going on today as there are plenty of cars still on the road with U760E that are covered under WEN ZE5 and are currently still getting the Shell Game ran on them. What I am starting to find out as I call other transmission repair shops today and start to do more research is that with the transmission shudder issue that occurs in the U760E replacing the torque converter is only a patch and not a proper repair. The proper repair should be rebuilt or replaced the transmission on all vehicles with U760E that experience this issue as well as on my 2012 Toyota Camry. I am sure if I research more it will be the same with the other transmissions in this series U760F, U660E, and U660F. I am going to post this on all Toyota/vehicle forums that I can find to help get the word out. My plan is to spend the $4000 and get the transmission rebuilt this week or next (then file in small claims court to try to recover this expense). This is my wives garage kept car that she needs to go to her job as a nurse. Right now I am driving her to work in my more reliable 2003 Chevy Trailblazer with 165K miles on it that I bought new in 2003. It has never had to have the transmission or engine replaced. If you want to drive this 2012 Camry please contact me quickly so we can speak about a date and time before I get the transmission rebuilt. Whatever you do please make a video about this issue as it is my belief that you will be able to reach millions of people and save a lot of people thousands of dollars each.

I have had to replace the entire AC system ($1300), I've had to replace the rotors twice and they feel like they need new ones. I've also had to replace the shocks and struts twice, as well. (Also due for replacement) In between all that, it goes through tires quite a bit faster than expected too. There is also a strong jerk in the transmission when you first go int ... | |||||
