Hi, I have a 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid SE with the adaptive cruise and driver assistance, It is currently at 58,000 miles right now. I've been noticing some issues with the driver side rear view mirror lately, along with other electronic issues but they would have to have their own topic. The problems I have been noticing with my driver side mirror is first the auto diming rear view mirror. I tested it by shining a flashlight into my center rear view mirror where all the sensors are and after 6 test in the spread of 2 weeks at different times, I have have concluded that the mirror does one of 3 things. A. It dims slower or not to the same degree as the center rear view mirror. B. It doesn't dim at all. Or C. It works normally. Only one of the 6 test actually had it working properly. The second problem is with the turn signal repeater on the driver side mirror. It either A. Flickers. Or B. 2 of the 3 LEDs don't work. Every other thing in the mirror works. Blis lights still work, and all the movements of the mirror still works. If anybody has any suggestions or has experience any of these problems, please let me know! Thanks!

I have this problem on my Fusion Hybrid too, for some reason it is worse in the winter then it is in the summer. I have the TSB 13-1-13 done on it, but it didn't fix the problem. I had the dealer look at it but it is so subtle that they can't really pick it out. Unless you live with the car, It could be very hard to hear. -
Tire Review: Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus

There isn't as much of the rim protector as the original tires, But it is still there, just not as much. The maximum pressure is 51 PSI. Just set mine to 38 PSI today. -
Tire Review: Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus

Yep, I have the Continental PureContact with EcoPlus on the EcoBoost Fusion. Still really good tires. They would probably do better in the snow then the Pirelli tires would. They also have a stiffer sidewall so they have even a lower rolling resistance. Both are good tires, If you are willing to trade off a little bit of MPG for noise and comfort, go with the Pirelli tires, If you want a more sporty feel and better MPG with snow traction, PureContacts would be better. -
After about 36,200 miles, the Goodyear LS2s needed to be replaced. They were loud, the impact noises was ridiculous, wet traction was terrible, it never tracked straight, it needed to be replaced. A lot of people recommended the Continental Pure contacts, I have them on the EcoBoost Fusion and liked it. But for my Fusion Hybrid, I decided to try the Pirelli tires because they were fairly new and weren't out when we got the Continental tires. First Impressions after getting them installed were spectacular! I thought for a while that the Continental tires were the way to go, but the Pirellis are ridiculously good. They beat the Continentals in noise, comfort, and steering feel. They made the steering feel a little bit more hefty, maybe that is because they are new and haven't been completely broken in yet. But when we got those Continentals it didn't feel like that. The Pirelli doesn't allow much of the road's imperfections into the cabin. It is a very comfortable ride. But it allows just enough road vibrations so you can "feel the road" so you don't feel completely isolated from the road. It adds more confidence and lets you know what is going on. The noise of the tires (or the lack thereof) are not perceptible to the ears at all. They work really well with the ANC in the hybrid. All you hear is wind and engine noise. The downside to that is that you will here a little bit more engine noise during acceleration now. The dealer set the tire pressure at 32 PSI, I might raise it to about 38 or 40 PSI, MPG at 32 PSI were around 41.4 to about 45.8. Those would probably increase when if i set the tires to 38 or 40 PSI. I have not driven these tires in the rain yet, *Drought over in the low country state.* I will update this post when I finally do drive it in the rain. Summery: Very Quiet Excellent Steering Response Very Comfortable, Little to no vibrations MPG at 32 PSI is better then LS2s at 42 PSI (Will get better) Price is a little high, but It is worth it Highly Recommend :)
