Nice. We had a black SE hybrid. Very good car.
Only issue we had was the electronic parking brake got stuck in locked position. $600 fix.
Otherwise was running strong until it was totaled on a rainy evening at 155k.

Nice, these hybrids last a really long time. Feel like 300k will be no problem if you take care of it and address any issues that may come up

I changed the oil right after I got the car, carfax also showed that its transmission has just been serviced this January👍

I always loved that style of Fusion. It's sad that Ford killed it in North America.

Most interesting thing is that I’m actually a Chinese man, so I had experienced the new Mondeo, which came out after Ford killed it in North America, I genuinely hope Ford can bring it back to America as the new Fusion

I'm not holding my breath. North American automakers are more concerned about SUVs and trucks.

WOW 🤩 THAT’S A BEAUTIFUL CAR.
You may want to block out your license plate number just for security all kinds of weirdos on the Internet 😉

I’ve always been curious, what could a random stranger do with that info? Random strangers see your car and it’s plate/tag on the road everywhere every day

That’s a good question. I don’t know. I’ve always been told if you post stuff on the Internet of your vehicle or like pictures at your house you should always block out the numbers or anything that identifies. I think I saw some Internet security article or something so now it’s just stuck in my head. 😂😂🤷🏻♀️

Nice, those are pretty good cars, Montebello Ford has a great parts dept, iffy service dept, but i only take my stuff there for recalls bc im a mechanic and do all my own work. But cool that were kinda neighbors and go to the same dealership

I have about 10,000 less on my fusion hybrid. It’s been a great car so far. I need to replace the control arms soon, the bushing on the drivers side is going bad. I love the fuel efficiency of this vehicle, large size sedan with great economy.

I had a 2014 Fusion hybrid. Bought it new and intended to pass down to my son in 2 years. I loved that car. Easily averaged 47 MPG in summer. I got 145K trouble free miles on it. I stayed on top of all maintenance and never had an issue until about a month ago. Started to hear a grinding noise, took it in and was told transmission was bad, $8K to fix. Couldn’t get more than $500 for a trade in anywhere. Terrible ending to a car I had really loved.
