I bought a 2015 Ford Fusion SE at 65k miles and I need a new transmission at 67k miles.
They told me that gears 1-2 are completely broken and soon itll just blow out.
The previous owner took VERY VERY VERYY good care of this car. Had it checked often and drove it probably 5-6 times a week.
I love my fusion but fuck man Ford makes such shitty cars
Oh to add this, I got the car in fucking june of 2024. JUNE!!!
Should I give up the car and buy a new one or pay upwards of 2500 to fix it?
130k for my own 2017. Other than the infamous 2-3 hard shift, no problems.
Fix the automobile, is my advice. The current state of automobile pricing combined with interest rates may hurt in the short term, but if you own the car outright, the total cost will be significantly lower.
Regretfully, depending on your finances, it might be more worthwhile to fix that automobile given how new it is.
Simply learn from it and never purchase a Ford vehicle again. I own a Fusion as well, and I really regret it.
I’ve owned a Mercedes E class, a Toyota, a Buick, and a Chevy Cruze throughout the years, but this Fusion has earned my respect over the past ten years since it’s roomy inside, performs well, and looks good. However, the parts I’ve had to replace have been breaking so quickly that I don’t trust the Ford service center. Regretfully, I will be leaving this club shortly.
Mine had to be replaced after 70k miles. Titanium 2020. The issue is that they only fill every thirty thousand miles and need a transmission drain. It’s not unusual that you need a new flush if one was performed at 67k or if you haven’t had one done. A flush destroys the transmission by forcing the faulty fluid into the non-replaceable filter. Rebuilding it would be preferable to replacing it. I spent more than $6,000 on my refurb.
The mileage on my 2015 Ford Fusion SE is 160,000. You guys are convincing me that I should start saving money for a new transmission.
Kinda sad that American auto makers can’t build the same kind of durability into a vehicle like Japanese companies can. Heck, the two most durable Fusions use Toyota and Mazda tech.
I wouldn’t even worry about it if it were just a slight bump from first to second; that’s how my 2010 works and it’s never gotten any worse.
See my earlier post regarding the rebuild of my transmission. About $4.5–$5k was involved. Additionally, they upgraded the valve shift kit, which made the car shift like butter in the end. No harsh shifts, but I do question if I should spend a lot more money on the vehicle.
Same, have a 2016 Fusion SE Ecoboost just hit 97K my next car will be a model 3 Tesla or a Honda Accord depending on how ev prices keep coming down
My 2010 does that, and it has never gotten any worse, so I wouldn’t even worry about it if it was simply a bump from first to second.
