Replying to: urnews (Sep 26, 2007 3:08 pm) I am glad you posted about the mileage. I got blasted when I first posted mine. I have had my 06 V6 Fusion now for 16 months. The mileage improved. I now get about 16-17 in town and around 27+ on interstate driving and I do reset it after each fill up. I did the paper thing for a while but quit after a few months. I figured it really didn't matter as I was going to have to drive it anyway no matter what the gas mileage. Considered trading within the first 6 months, but would have lost too much money to do so. I have not had any problems with my car. I bought it in June of 06 and went with the 0 interest for 3 years. On July 1st of 06 they came out with the 0 interest for 5 years with a longer warranty but Ford refused to change my financing even though it was just a few days later. Would have been a big help to me if they had let me know about the "new" promotion for July. Oh well, luck of the draw I guess. Anyway, good luck with your new car!
#112 of 170 Tail Light issue by mschmal Oct 01, 2007 (4:31 am)
Is it by design?   The Milan on my showroom floor also has taillights on the trunk lid that do not line up exactly with the taillights on the fender.   Curiously though the crease at the top of the hood lines up with the crease in the fender. Accordingly it appears to mean that the design was off, not the build.   Mark.
#113 of 170 Fusion update by scape2 Oct 13, 2007 (9:44 am)
Well, I now have 21,000 trouble free miles on my fusion SEL V6. Long road trips I average about 29.7MPG cruising at 70-75. The car is solid as day 1 with no squeaks or rattles. My plan next year is to buy 18" rims and new tires. I am very happy with this car and have recommended to others to test drive both the Milan/Fusion. Likes - reliability, fit/finish, styling and comfort. Dislikes - rear view is a bummer, If Ford just moved the 3rd brake light to the trunk it would help much! Just to keep up with image, a 240HP V6, 180HP 4cyl needs to come now. 6spd for both v6 and 4cyl.

Replying to: danr2 (Oct 13, 2007 10:35 am) You have got to be kidding, you must be competing against all 4 cyl Camry's, While my 2006 Fusion was a great car, I traded it for a 2007 Sante Fe I thought my 2003 4 cyl Lx Accord was just as fast. Maybe a tad slower, still had the same merging problems with both.   Anyway a great Mexican built car, gas mileage with mostly highway driving was 21.something. Handled great, stuck to the road, just needs the bigger engine that is in the new Edge and Taurus.

Replying to: danr2 (Oct 13, 2007 10:35 am) I own a V6 SEL Fusion. I can't tell you how many Camry SE 4cyl owners I have put into thier place. SE Camry looks fast, but with the 4cyl its a joke. V6 Camry however, quick, in one word. I raced one off the line and it was pretty neck and neck until about 40MPH, the Camry V6 pulled away at a steady pace.
#117 of 170 Re: Whining noise while driving Milan [barbara383] by divessence Jun 18, 2009 (4:11 pm)
Replying to: barbara383 (Aug 10, 2006 1:01 pm) OMG, I feel like I am about to cry. I have the same whining noise in my 2008 Ford Fusion, it sounds like a distant fire siren. VERY ANNOYING. I can not get used to it they too told me it was normal engine noise. I feel like I am going out of my mind. I have taken it to two dealership, that don't even want to do a drive with me to see what I mean. Can you give me a little more information on what they did to fix it. This is my main concern with my car. It only has 20800 miles on it, and I have tried twice to get rid of the car by trade, but owe too much on it, since I've only made a few payments. Please help me!! Replies to this message: jsadka1 (Jun 18, 2009 8:20 pm) savetheland (Jun 22, 2009 5:33 pm)
#118 of 170 A Few Issues with my 2008 Ford Fusion, can anyone Help! by divessence Jun 18, 2009 (4:36 pm)
Hi, I have a 08 Ford Fusion S with about 20800 miles on it. I like the car a lot especially the look and feel of it. I have however had a few issues that I am trying to get fixed. The main thing is the whining noise that I hear when accelerating that like I posted on Barbara383, sounds like a distant fire engine, I am so annoyed with it and it drives me crazy. Has anyone other than Barbara383 had an issue or hear this and if so what can be done about it. I also find that my car is not very soft at idle and has a slight ticking noise that you can hear over the belt, but that is only when idling, can't hear it while driving. The dealer is looking at my driver's seat that squeaks over every single bump or turn, but that doesn't concern me as much as the whining noise. I also took my car to a tire dealer and had them look at a clicking noise coming from what appears to be the drivers side tire, he said that I needed brake clips installed, so I'll have to ask them about that when I go back. My molding on the side of the passanger door was separating and they will be repaing that soon. Like I said mainly concerned with the whining noise so If anyone has encountered this or know what can be done. Please help!!

Replying to: divessence (Jun 18, 2009 4:11 pm) Well mine is more like a "hooping" noise. It is very brief and only happens when I first take off. Could your's just be noise from the tires? I had a 2006 fusion and didn't have any siren like noise. I did have the ticking when idling like the other post but never had it checked out. Overall, my fusion was a good car. I didn't like the shorter turn radius though. Good luck! Replies to this message: savetheland (Jun 22, 2009 5:33 pm)
