the front fenders leak sand, gravel, ice, and snow from the wheel wells under the hood. Every Fusion owner look under the hood and see the dirt marks from the sand and mud and snow on the bottom of the hood and you will find dirt and sand. It will fill up the space between the fender and anything along the inside of the fender. The rear is just as bad as there are small holes in the rear fender will trap sand and salt from the roads. You have to put a hose in there to wash it out. Poor design.
