When did I buy a 2006 Ford Fusion?

Purchased used in 2006 with 1,200 miles on the OD. For the first three years car was brilliant. No problems, just routine maintenance, brakes, oil changes, ect.

Are there any problems with the Ford Fusion?

Check out our Ford Fusion overview to see the most problematic years, worst problems and most recently reported complaints with the Fusion.

The original Duratec V-6 engine failed at 135,000 miles. Instead of trying to diagnose the failure and fix it, I had a new (er) engine installed. That one turned out to be defective, and it was replaced (again) under warranty. So far, the latest one, from an 09 Milan, has been okay.
