Fusion

  • 34,000 miles
I love my Fusion however, as a designer & a detailed oriented person I have a few complaints about my car that I believe should be fixed or at least should be taken care of since I have less than 50,000 miles on it. First, I don't like the tilt in the car...very difficult to use if you have arthritis. I don't like that there aren't any back seat lights for whomever is back there. I had problems with my steering shaking & brought the car in to the dealer...they ended up turning the rotors. Things went well for about a week then it went back to the same. They ended up turning them again...no charge..but no real explanation as to why it was happening. One month later it happened again & this time we decided to just buy new rotors on our own & replace the pads too. The interior door handle in the back seat broke & the finish off the drivers interior door is bubbling too...this shouldn't happen in a 2 year old car! now, the other day my A/C decided not to blow cold air anymore & the part is on back order until the end of July!! how can this be with such a popular car & such a new car. I really love this car but I feel that my older vehicles lasted longer with fewer problems. I am past my warranty so whatever goes wrong I have to get help from my husband & his mechanic friends in order to save some money because the dealer wants to charge 4X's the amount which I understand they are trying to make a profit but at the same time most people can't afford such prices. I am starting to think I should have stayed with Chevy or even tried Nissan or Toyota.
