Thanks to all those who replied - all of your information is helpful. I looked at the carfax report for the vehicle, and it has been regularly serviced. At 160k miles, the transmission was inspected - I assume that was part of the TSB (17-0039). I plan to take it to an authorized Ford service center for a full inspection before I make the purchase final, just to be safe. Thanks especially to those who noted the potential for transmission issues - Consumer Reports didn't mention that at all. D. Vickers

Hello all, I'm considering purchasing a used 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid with 172,000 miles. I'm somewhat concerned that Consumer Reports showed lots of problems with the fuel system that year, and cars.usnews.com shows that year as having less than average reliability. Does anyone have any experience with that model year that could help me understand the nature of common problems? There are a few 2010 models I am also considering, and cars.usnews.com seemed to think that year was particularly reliable. Thanks! D. Vickers
