One other thing to check/maintain if you live in a climate with any salt in the winter, is the plastic flaps which cover a hole immediately in front of the rear wheels. Lie on the ground, remove one bolt (I think it's 10 mm) and the plastic cover comes off. Remove the dirt built up in there, which plugs up a hole draining a cavity in the body. Otherwise salt and moisture accumulates and starts rust from the inside. On a car you're buying, check this area.
Most efficient car I've ever drove. This car makes going places or taking trips feel so quick. " Like man we got here fast". One of the best used car buys.
My 2016 gets 0mpg and its about as fast as a bolder since its always broke down. my chevy cobalt is more efficient gets 31mpg where the SE fusion got 26-27.
@@darkshadowsx5949 key thing you said 2016, after 2012 they were not made the same I have a 2010 so yea maybe I should have said that, but yea I hear that a lot about that year
I got a 2012 fusion as my first car. Bought it second hand from my uncle and I'm pretty sure he had it decked out pretty nice lol. I'm running on 328800 miles as of today 😳
I've had my 2010 SE for almost 13 years and it's still going strong. Swapped the entire sunroof out for $80 from the junkyard and a new valve cover gasket was like $35. I think the biggest headache for me was the AC blowing hot and cold. It turns out that if you turn the headlights/fog lights on before you start the car, the AC works.
Wow,this car looks like its had a hard life. I have a 2012 ford fusion with 115 thousand miles and it still looks new. I guess it's how you treat them. But we have had zero issues with ours. It's been one of the best cars I've ever had.
I bought one in 2015 with 53,000 miles on it.Easy car to work on. Everything still works inside and out.Brakes are good 4 wheel disk antilock but .............Inside door handles can break. Don't yank em hard. Recall on the gas tank vent cracking and leaking gas.(mine 3yes ago) Recall on Airbags.(current) Throttle Positioning Sensor (TPS) goes bad (mine at)114,000 miles. No other issiues for me. 140,000 miles my ball joint broke on driver side.(as it should have) I Love driving this car on a nice freeway. The 6 speed transaxle is nice for a 2.5 ltr. engine . 2000 rpm at 85 mph . My 95 toyota T100 truck 5 speed is at 3,500 at 85 mph.
I have a 2011 V6 Fusion, almost at 151,000 miles. I have had the blower resistor/module replaced 3 or 4 times in the past 4 years. The last was the day before Thanksgiving this year. I noticed my steering was a litle tight suddenly for just a second when going around a curve. Yesterday when driving, I noticed my a "squeeky" noise in my steering column. This morning when I started my car the Power Steering Assist Failure came on. These two issues are the only things that I had with my car so far. My husband regularly changes the oil and takes care of minor/routine maintenance. It is nice to read where some people have 300,000 or more on their Fusions. Becky G.
There is a Ford recall on the Power steering system om the 2011-2013 or something like that. Even though the 2009-2010 have the same one they aren't included. But Ford fixed mine after getting a letter from my attorney.
Hi from Nova Scotia . I have a all blue 2012 and it works great. The only thing I've had gone wrong is the sunglasses case broke and the driver's side heated seat died. Great car ...
No problem with the power steering but since I wrote the last time the driver door handle broke and the window came off the track...she got 99900km on her.
I bought my 2011 2.5l SE a few months ago with 203k miles, rebuilt title for 2 bands. Had absolutely zero issues with it, only had to do wear and tear maintenance (brakes, serpentine belt, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, engine mounts, pulleys) so far the least problematic car I’ve owned, super comfortable, and reliable. I bought it as a daily beater after owning several Acura vehicles. The only complaint I have about the fusion is with it being a 4 cylinder I expected better fuel range. I get about the same as my 2008 Acura TL-S which has a 3.5L V6, which is pretty disappointing. I just did my last fill-up with 93 octane instead of 87, so let’s see if that makes a difference.
I have a 2010 Fusion SEL with just under 210K miles. Whoever owned her took off ALL the exhaust and took off the original air intake hose!!!! Had to replace both items. When car was up on the rack I noticed ZERO RUST on the frame!!!!! and other underside parts. This car spent it's entire life in RustBelt Ohio, too. I understand the cars made in Mexico prior to the year change to 2011 were made with a different process...and this car is living proof of that (mine says 7/2010 on the door frame ticket). Tinted windows all around and funky wrapped rims and side mirrors makes it a unique car for me to drive. When I got her you could hear her at least a mile away she was THAT LOUD!!!! Now she is so quiet it's a different car. I love the way she glides up and down the hills here in NE Ohio like they are nothing..... I had to replace both 02 sensors as well as the battery harness as someone had revised battery conections to accommodate their sound system and had to take out at least a mile of speaker wire!!! New plugs and coil packs made a big difference, too. Now I get great gas mileage!!!! Just replaced the starter, too. Small stupid stuff but she's worth it.... The Goodyear Assurance tires work very well on this car, too and make handling much tighter overall....
2010 Ford Fusion SEL.. I’m going on 300,000miles and it runs pretty good for that mileage.. If I could make a post I would, but it’s as simple as changing oil every 4000-5000 miles.. only thing that I had changed was air filter, cabin filter, license plate light, battery, tires, and A-rods..
The 2.5’s are well known for transmission problems. I bought a 2010 SEL of my brother with 148. Have 168 on it now & only big problem we’re the front wheel bearings. I’ve been changing the oil every 5K religiously. My car still gets 23MPG all day long. It’s truly a great car.
Tpms had to be replaced on mine so far owned it since 2010 only problem so far that's my concern is the lower trim on driver front passenger front and driver rear. All in all great car.
TheZeddy3 3.5 has a major flaw where they mounted the water pump inside engine when it starts leaking leaks in motor and causes major engine damage by the time u know about it it is usually to late. Great engines when they run right but majorly flawed
I have a Ford Fusion 2012 se with 150xxx miles. So far only issues I had was with the throttle body ( would cut off while driving ), had it replaced and runs like a charm. Few months ago my water pump took a crap. Replaced it with the pulley assembly. Just today I got it back from the shop. Front end was replaced. Axles and control arms both driver and passenger side. Valve cover gasket and basic tune up. Also had the alternator replaced. Runs great now but next issue is strong vibration while idling. I’m thinking motor mount.
Yeah probably motor mount, mines going out too, that's alot in repairs but it's all wear items so I guess that's pretty close to normal, was the water pump expensive?
CookieRepairProjects I forgot to add motor mount. I had 1 mount replaced few months back. I just got the car back from the shop so I’m not to worried about rushing it back to a shop anytime soon unless it’s needed.
What is a throttle body? I have a 2012 SE that keeps throwing a CC code although I’m not having any trouble with performance or mpg reduction. It stays at 23.5 mpg
For the AC its the motor that goes bad. Not to hard or expensive to replace but be sure to replace the harness at the same time or the motor will just blow again within the year.
My AC stopped blowing cold air so I did some research on youtube and I found out that if this happens, first turn on the headlights on first then start the car. Crazy as it may seem my AC was blowing cold air again
I have a 2010 ford fusion and I have to turn my headlights on EVERY time. But now I'm getting hot air when my car is idle. Changed the ac modular, but no luck.
I have a 2010 Ford Fusion SEL, same as this one in white and had an issue with advance trac and also a sensor where it would only go 5 miles per hour. It was the Throttle Body and had to be replaced. It also skips/jerks sometimes when I drive. He is correct about the lug nuts needing to be changed. That dang compartment on the top...phew the hinge on the right side broke and it IS very flimsy! Be careful not to crack the rim when you drive because you will keep loosing pressure in the tires and will have to keep putting air in them. The tire and rim is EXPENSIVE!!! About $250.00 new and I wasn't able to find a used on in my town. Replacement black rim was about $100.00 at Discount Tire. Also, issue with bad wheel bearings...low/deep sounding whomp whomp sound. I bought mine from a used car dealership.
I have a 2011 with AC/heat issues, all it turned out to be was a bad fan motor, I have seen other cases where the temperature sensor needs to be replaced and that apparently isn't an easy swap!
My sensor went out as well. Luckily my mechanic use to work at the Ford service center and now at the Toyota one fixed mine for about 100$. Plus the sensor price which was really nothing. My power steering control panel went out, that was 2500$ at the dealership because he couldn't do it. FORD has to program it.
Support bearings , seals 🦭 and shafts , the support bearings are bushing type , needs to have special tools to work them out of the transmission, also the rack and pinion system can fail at anytime and many owners are not around any longer to explain what happened to them .
I have a 2011 Fusion with nearly 180K miles. Driver door handle broke; easily replaced. Driver-side seat heating element went out. Power steering sometimes goes out when backing up, need to restart engine in that case. Transmission fluid needs to be changed much sooner than the 150K listed in the maintenance schedule. I'd recommend before 100K for the first change, and then every 25-30K miles after that. Other than that, my vehicle has been reliable, and I love my premium sound system. I really hate how the latches for the sun visors point towards the front of the vehicle, rather than the rear like most cars have them. Awful resale value, but that's a good thing for the used car buyer.
Me and my wide test drove one today same year. They want $5,500 for it. I just dont want any problems with it. It has 129,000 miles on it and none of the dashboard lights are on. The dude that's selling it said that the 2011 is ok, but the 12 and 13 don't mess with because of problems. I'm just trying to make the right choice so me and the won't loose money.
@@jermainestacy887 I know this is an old post... but the 2010-2012 are all the same, the 2013 is the next body style but same electronic steering box that was recalled. So he wasn't totally right about that.
Ive a got a 2010 SE with the 6 speed manual transmission and the only problem ive had was the throttle body assembly went out and would cause my fusion to stall out at randomly and would throw the wrench light on the dash on for a split second then it would be gone. Ive had mine for about 2 years now and ive taken it on quite a few road trips and its been great i average 33 to 35 mpg on the highway. Would highly recommend the 2010 to 2012 fusion to anyone looking for a a reliable fun to drive car!
I've got a 2010 sport with the 3.5 and 180000 miles only issue I've had has been a coilpack . Other than that it's hit 1 deer and a black bear. Both resulted in all new fenders hood and the entire nose with all front lights. Lol plus paint. Other than that it's truly been the best car I've ever owned
Tail light lamp assemblies - specifically melted plastic housing, cracked bakelite bezels, and rusty mounting surfaces. I replaced both modules when I found my lamps had burned out and melted their housings. It might have been from water getting in to the cracked bezels, I'll never know for sure... but the new assemblies don't stay in too well, because the surfaces they screw into seem to be too corroded to hold fast. I will have to look at it more closely; meanwhile it's gorilla tape keeping them semi-flush with the exterior surface.
I got a 2010 Fusion Hybrid fully loaded a little over a year ago. Super low miles when I got it at 54,000 and I’ve put about 20k on it since then. It’s been a fantastic car for me this far. Only 3 issues. 1. My sun roof came off the tracks as well. 2. Throttle body had to be replaced. 3. There’s a annoying sound that the AC compressor makes. From what I understand all 3 are common. My research says AC noise is usually a little piece in the housing that needs to be filed down. Some sort of manufacture defect with the way the housing was molded. Easy fix, but I haven’t done it yet.
I have the 2011 6 cyl SEL, 152,000 miles, only recently has the gasket begun leaking just a tiny, tiny bit, but barely enough to tell, and still not a spot on the driveway, and I just replaced an O2 sensor a couple weeks ago - THAT - is a common Ford issue in general, but certainly something to watch out for in these at about this age over 100k miles.
Great Video. Just picked up 2011 for 3k. Great car only problem I have is pcm code and not getting enough electric mode. 29.4 mpg average. I drive tons 600 miles weekly.
My 2012 has 133k miles. The interior door handles needed to be replaced. The engine valve cover gaskets need replacement and the abs stop working. Also recently the speakers stop working intermittently.
The fan blower motor, controller and pigtail that connects it often break. Mine had to be replaced 3 times already and the pigtail is like 300$ for a tiny cord.
I have a 2010 Fusion with the 3.0L with 105k mi. Under warranty replaced the rear main seal and valve cover gaskets twice for an oil leak. It still leaks a little bit of oil, not sure where it's coming from. After warranty I replaced a leaking AC line, engine mount, CV shaft and the backup alert speaker (did this all myself, it isn't too bad). For maintenance, I do an oil change every ~ 7k miles, ATF drain and fill every 30k miles, coolant flush every 5 yrs, replaced the drive belt once (broke while driving, still made it home), and replaced the spark plugs at ~ 95 kmi (and PCV valve while I was in there). It's been quite reliable since those early issues, can't think of any needed repairs in the last 5 or 6 yrs. Water pump is external and easy to get to if it goes out.
@@filipetavares3413 I have a 3.0l 2012. Power Steering went out on the highway when I was around 70-80k miles but only select batch ranges were affected and still covered under recall. Mine did. My throttle body gave out before it made recall so I replaced it myself. But easy to get to and cheap. I’m at 125k rn having oil leaks off head gasket again and my front barings are starting to sound worn. Gonna take time to figure out.
I had a 2012 V6 AWD with 96,000, only main issue I had was driveshafts, broke 3 in less than a month after I tuned it, great car but the driveshaft does not like digs
I've got a 2010, identical to yours but with a 6 speed😎😎 problem plaguing mine is that rotten SYNC radio draining the battery with the car off. Have anything like this with yours?
3.0l V6 SEL @100,000mi running just fine. Head gasket and oridium spark plugs swapped in due to oil seapage, Throttle Body failure to due to poor manufacturing on the screws and seal.. Easy swap since it sits on top of the engine bay(30mins), Power Steering Assist Failure common issue in many models affected so qualified for a free replacement at dealership. Overall very satisfied with the car. Just wish it came with Sony speaker system, sun roof, and black interior. But still great car for its value. Feels so heavy at times but could be my sub box for 2x12s and the car has a solid metal body. Anyone else curious of the whine when they run AC? 🤣
I've had tons of front end issues with my 2010 fusion. had to replaced the tire rods control arms, shocks, trans axle twice, exhaust pipes and now my radiator is leaking. Ive owned the car for 9 years
The number one problem with the 10-12 Fusions are the steering rack. 2.5 engines also have a plastic thermostat housing. As for the 3.0 V6, they have oil pan gaskets leaking and camshaft seal leaks that requires a new water pump. Stay away from the 3.5 V6 cars because of coolant leaking in the engine due to poorly designed water pump.
man...fords not sure. but have opportunity to pick up 2010 se with 46K miles/California car (family car) great shape but the Issues I've read worry me..compared to toyotas I'm used to my 2005 camry 165K miles on it...and only full breaks and exhaust replaced but steering seems looks/weak. wondering about replacing it with the fusion because of shape/miles
If you don’t mind my dude… allow me a few additional details for everyone here… 1. If you’re above 5 11? You will not fit comfortably. (I’m 6 2 and my head touches the roof so I’m constantly adjusting myself mid drive) 2. The 2.5L has ZERO balls and sounds like a pissed off bee hive rather than a decent ICE brought to you by the Ford Motor Co 3. If you have fog lights swap them to LED at your own risk. The bulbous covers do not like LED unless you find the right set. It took 4 attempts for me to finally find the right set. 4. The anniversary Mustang rims from 2009 DO FIT so get you a set of 215/60/R16’s and a set of rims if you’re interested 5 (last one) buy back up parts. There’s so many of these out there that I literally have extra parts in case I might need em. I just picked up an exhaust system replacement and it was worth the $80 I paid to have the split pipes.
Transmission fluid in these Fords (Mercon LV) should be changed every 30k miles as the fluid breaks down. Should be changed with a pan drop, not a flush.
@@undoctrinati0n Don't see why not. The reason a flush is not recommended is that it will stir up any sediment and distribute it back through the transmission. A pan drop won't and you will also be able to clean any sediment off the bottom of the pan. The 6F35 transmission used on the Fusion and Escape doesn't have a removable filter. It has a built in filter and if that gets clogged, the transmission has to be removed and split apart to get to the filter. Here is a good site where he shows the procedure. If you have questions, he is the guy to ask. This is the procedure for the 2013-up. Not sure how the procedure differs for the 2009-2012. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rvljKBa9rIs.html
@Snake 1776 appreciate the response. My concern is what you said about the fluid breaking down. From what I've read in particular the 6f35 is harsh on the fluid. I guess my question is how do I know the fluid hasn't broken down enough for it to ruin any parts on the transmission if new fluid was added
@@undoctrinati0n It is recommended by most mechanics to change the Mercon LV every 30k miles as it starts breaking down.. I think the manual says you can go 60K, but I never follow the manuals on everything. For example that "5 year coolant" No way. I flush my cooling system every 2 years. If there is any damage/wear from broken down fluid, adding new fluid isn't going to hurt anything surely. Might make it shift better as the fluid won't be worn out. Hate how they don't have dipsticks on cars anymore. Used to be nice to be able to pull the dipstick and examine the fluid and check the level.
@@undoctrinati0n there is a drain plug under the plastic cover. It's a bolt all by itself. Should be around 6/7 quarts. When checking the dipstick make sure tranny is hot and stick is backwards. Make sure you only drain and then fill. Do no drop the pan and you can't change the filter. I used a one quart lucas tranny and make sure u use only mercon lv only. if you haven't done it yet.b
Don't forget about the ABS speed sensor on the passenger side. You will have an ABS light on, and service advancetrac will come up when you start the vehicle. All it is is a wheel speed sensor. About a $70 fix. Super easy
@@bluesbrother2383 I'm hearing a noise on the driver side rear when I turn sometimes, and i can't for the life of me figure out what it is. Possibly a wheel bearing.
@@thornburg2107 put the wheel in the air and push high and low and left and right, if the wheel moves at all you'll need to replace the bearing, they will get louder and louder as they go so if the noise isn't too bad you may have a bit of time
@@bluesbrother2383 wow, even though I knew that, I didn't even think of that lol. I feel stupid sometimes. Thanks man I appreciate it! I'm going to go check it out tomorrow and see what happens.
And to be honest , what does not make sense to me, is that it doesn't do it while driving straight or even when turning sometimes. It's random and if I hit a bump while turning is generally when it does it but even then it's not consistent. I had a old Jeep Cherokee, and I drove it around for 4 years with a wheel bearing bad. I would just get out there every now and again and tighten the lug nuts up. It was very irresponsible of me looking back. But anyway it had a different sound than this. It almost sounds like something scrubbing but I've looked everywhere and I can't figure it out unless the struts bad but it doesn't ride rough or anything like that. But first thing tomorrow I'm going to jack her up and see if that wheel wobbles if not I'm at a loss.
I just bought a 2010 Ford fusion... dash .lights lit up, fuel light, read (tire pressure sensor fault). About how much would it cost to replace one or all four. Are there instructions on how to diy?
Man my transmission just recently started slipping it’s got 151k miles it makes me sad bc I love this car the sound system the backup camera the awd, everything about the car is great but the transmission. I want to sell but at the same time I don’t 😅
I noticed you mention something about the electronic power steering at 1.20sec, I own a ford fusion hybrid 2010 and right now I'm at the fifth power steering, I bought the car in 2014 with 124,000Km so that was the first but then at 130,000km it broke so I had to buy a new one at 2500$ cad but then 100km later it broke again so they replace it for a 3rd one a zero cost, but then in 2017 around 205,000km it broke again so I had to replace it for a 4th one at 1650$ cad, for some reason I had a better price a different ford dealer, but then once more, 100km later it broke again, so they replace it at zero cost for a fifth power steering, I still have it and the car is now 285,000 km. I wonder it they really need to replaced the power steering each time or just fixing a minor problem would have done ...I mean only the power steering it self costed me more than 4k cad.
@@bayfinest1938 You find that funny, I love this car! I guess I need to get use to the idea, now I have to replace the water pump, the belt, the thermostat, and some more stuff about the direction, not to count new winter tires
@@bayfinest1938 Not long ago my engine stop completely on the highway, I had a red signal in the dashboard indicating overheat, but for some reason the car was still traveling at about 40km/h, I managed to reach the next exist (2km away), and parked the car on the side of road so I could temporarily fix it, turns out the batteries saved me some head heck,
The 2016 Fusion SE 2.0l turbo is by far the worst. unless you like paying mechanics and being without a car for a month every year. no joke. mines had 2 engine replacements because cylinder #3 cracks every time. the transmission went out on it because the forward piston blew. computer kept saying it was solenoid A was stuck. unless i swap out the whole power-train im expecting to have more issues down the road. the body is mint because its always in the shop. i was interested in seeing what problems plagued the 10-12 years.
I have a 2011 2.5 and had the electronic rack replaced around 70,000 miles. $1500 just for the part from the dealer. They will also have to reprogram the computer and do an alignment. Total my bill was $3000
The company I work for has two 2012 Ford fusions 2.5.. salesmen retired the older one with 265,000 mi... I was able to purchase at a very very low price,, Because it needed that electronic steering rack.. Would have cost about $2,000 for that ,, at Ford dealer because of mileage out of recall warranty range... I picked up the vehicle for less than $500. work done by my mechanic bought the rack at a very good low price of about $350(supposedly the rack has 64,000 miles on it,, I shall find out) so for under $900 I am in this car. thinking about keeping it or flipping it not sure yet.. because mileage is at 260 maybe I can get $2500 maybe I'll just do Uber with it,, it is super clean
What about the CV axles on these? I have one that has 191,000 mi I've not had it too terribly long and it clicks when I back up or make sharp turns and when I start to go forward it'll do it but it stops once I get going the car drives fine it don't bind up o.r anything. It sounds like it may have an exhaust leak because sometimes the exhaust will sound louder than it normally does but also I seen something about the motor mounts being a common issue.
The humidity/temperature sensor is what went bad on my 2010 Fusion SE. I bought it in December 2019 with 114,000 miles for $5700.00. I also had the dealer install leather for an additional $1600.00. WELL worth it for me. Can’t do without seat heaters.
Quick question, has anyone suffered the interior door handles breaking? I have to pull the locking mechanism to open the door from the inside. Went to my local Ford, they said it'd be over $300 to fix
Just had this happen on my '10 Model S (driver side). Sometimes wouldn't lock as a side effect, apparently the actuator has a plastic part that breaks and the piece can fall just right and interfere with the locking mechanism. But, as others mentioned, this is easy and cheap to replace.
my 2012 v6 is amazing and yes the vents on the dash broke lol my steering rack went but it was covered under a recall so ford replaced it saved me 1400 bucks canadian also dont under estimate these cars they are a good mix between sporty and family sedan a great first car. Had a transmission line leak at around 180.000 Km's so keep an eye out for that if fixed quickly will save your transmission before it starts slipping. Going on 210.000 km's now and the car drives great. Can confirm this is a very reliable daily driver.
What is that light that comes on it look like a ranch and something when I’m on the freeway and only comes on when I’m on the freeway but nothing happens to the car and just lights up it’s like a ranch and a little hammer or something what is that
The salesman retired.. my company had two of these one with 131,000 mi that's probably going to retail for like over $4,500 to $5,5 the The one I picked up260tho miles. Needed a rack has been sitting for about 6 months or so a 2012 fusion SE with sunroof I picked it up under $500 because of the rack issue... the dealer is going to charge a little over $2,000 to do that work .I was able to pick up a rack for less than $300( supposedly only $64,000 mi ) ha,🤔 thanks to my friend at the local Pick-n-Pull My mechanic a very good friend.. did the installation and programming workfor about the same price as part.. so for under let's say $900 I'm in this car with 260,000 miles If I decide to sell it ,I don't think I could get much for it because of the mileage ..or then maybe again I can get $2500 ,, or maybe then again it is super clean.. Maybe I'll keep it Uber with it not sure yet what to do.
Planning on buying 2010 fusion sports with 153k miles for my first car should I find another vehicle or go with 2011 Fusion for the same miles but 800 more
Is it the sport with the 3.5 V6? Those have water pump issues as described in another comment but it's not super common. Is the 2011 a 4-cylinder? $800 is alot extra for the same car but a 4 cylinder I do recommend a fusion if you check all the common problems and it looks good just dont overpay
They only have a water pump issue is you don’t change your coolant regularly. There is guys with 200k miles with the original water pump. The 3.5 is an extremely reliable engine. I have a 2011 I got with 60k miles and beat the shit outta it every day has about 93k on it now. Personally I’m changing it around 100k only downfall is changing it the 3.5 is shoe horned into the fusion and you damn near have to pull the engine to change it. I’d recommend a sport over any other fusion
I have a 2011 Ford Fusion SE with 191,678 miles and I have had it for 5 months and put 5,000 miles on it since I bought it and it’s been fine for me, the only thing I’ve had replaced was my thermostat was stuck closed and was making my car overheat, so I got it changed for $40 bucks and it’s been fine, also had the oil changed too, the only problem with mine is I noticed it’s starting to lose power from when I got it when you push the gas pedal, also when it’s in drive with your foot on the brake the engine shakes and you can feel it through the whole car, but if you put it in park or neutral the engine shaking goes away
I would not recommend anyone purchasing a 2010-2012 fusion. Since I bought my 2011 in Oct '19 I've gone thru 3 ps racks. Such a horrible design by Ford. Should've researched better before dropping 5k on one.
