I took it in because the rear brakes were rattling. I live on a dirt road and that seems to be part of the problem. I was there when they inspected the brakes and they were shot. I trust the dealer but when they pulled the wheel they showed me the problem. They got the pistons on the calipers freed up so they didn't need to replace the calipers, just the rotors. I was wondering if anyone else was having rear brake issues as most times rear brakes almost last the life of the vehicle. My brake score is around 96%.

Well I just got the car back from the dealer. It now has 46000 miles on it and I just had to pay for new rear brakes and rotors. Seems according to the dealer that the rear brake calipers were frozen up and not working properly, which also damaged the rotors. I have owned many Fords in my lifetime and usually the rear brakes last much longer than 46000 miles, usually the fronts are the first to go. Car is averaging about 43 miles per gallon but I didn't plan to spend my gas savings on early rear brake repairs.

Mine was the bracket that holds the rear shock. They replaced the bracket no rattle on that side. Almost 44500 on the car 42.7 lifetime on the computer. Probably actual mileage a little less.

Got My check for $775 yesterday nice suprise

Well I was contacted by Ford service to help getting the parts apparently they were successful. I took the car in last Tuesday and they were supposed to replace the shock and bushings. I haven't had a chance to talk to the dealer as to what they actually finally found, but I no longer have a clunk. In the winter the car did seem to build up lots of ice, but I park the car in a heated basement at night so the ice would have melted off by morning. Don't know for sure what they fixed but for now no clunk in the rear. The car is back to its original smooth quiet ride.

Folks, My 2013 fusion hybrid with about 36000 miles on it has a bad rattle in the right rear. The dealer thinks the shock is bad so they ordered a new one. The shock came in but the parts to attach it are on backorder for more than two weeks. It seems when two people are in the car the rattle almost disappears, so it has been hard to track down. Anyone else having this issue?

acdii, mine was hard to locate because when I would have two people in the car the rattle would almost disappear. When its just the driver it sometimes clunks real loud. How do I PM Ashley?

Ford service, how do I PM you

Well I know it has been a long time since I was here but here is where I'm at now. Current lifetime average 41.6 MPG. 35951 miles on the car. It has developed a bad rattle in the passenger rear. The dealer thinks the rear shock has failed. They ordered the shock and it came in but the other parts to attach it are on permanent back order. So I'm still driving it even though it sometimes sounds like the right rear is going to fall off. Stopped in the other day and he can't get a delivery date on the remaining parts. He thinks it may be a wide spread problem. because the parts should be readily available. We had an absolutely terrible winter with cold as low as thirty below zero. On those bitter cold days I would get about 32 miles per gallon on the way to work. Last Thursday it was nice and I got around 52mpg. So I'm thinking my lifetime average should start climbing again.

Just a quick update. My lifetime average is now 42.2 MPG and since my last oil change I'm averaging 45.0. The car goes in tomorrow for two recalls, one for a fuel issue and one to update the computer. Runs great and I'm very happy with the fuel mileage. Approximately 21000 miles on the vehicle.

Just another quick update. Received two recall notices in the last week, One is for a possible fuel leak and the other is the software upgrade. Will talk to the dealer today about both. Just over 18000 miles and long term average is now up to 41,8. Finally have a complaint about the car. Seems the doors don't seal out the dust as well as they should. Living on a dirt road provides plenty of dust when you have a week or so without rain. Will have to clean the interior soon. Back seat is getting real dusty.

Well once again its time for an update. Received a recall notice from Ford concerning leaking fuel, No repair parts available until the end of August. Currently have 17089.5 miles 7391.8 electric miles and 947.3 regen miles. My lifetime average has moved up again to 41.6 mpg. I have never reset since I got the car, so it includes over 8000 miles with studded snows. Should be over 42 mpg by end of summer. Still pleased with the car

I think they should add adjustable pedals like in the Taurus. They should also make the passenger seat more adjustable up and down as well as forward and back.

Well I just thought it was time for another update. Just went over the 16 thousand mile mark and have over 68 hundred electric miles. The dealer changed the gear shift knob on the Ford recall. My lifetime average is now up to 41.4 miles per gallon. And it is creeping up slowly. I think if I had bought the car when the weather was warmer the lifetime average would be much higher. Still very pleased with the mileage, performance and handling of the car.

ACDII, what made you get rid of the 2010 Fusion Hybrid and get a second 2013 Fusion Hybrid after your bad experience with the first one?
