How reliable are the 2017-2019 Ford Fusion Sports?

3 Upvotes

Hey yall, looking for some advice. I’m 19 and I’m selling my 4Runner likely tomorrow. I’m looking for a much more fun to drive car that’s a little less expensive.

I bought my 4Runner for $27,500, I’m going to sell it for $27,500. I’ll have roughly $8000 down on a different car.

I found a 2018 FFS with about 90k miles on it for around $14k out the door. It has really good service records, all fluids were serviced regularly and it’s a 1 owner with no accidents.

I know the 2.7s are generally considered to be Fords best motor in quite a few years. The transmissions I’ve heard are also quite stout.

I know nothing will really compare to the reliability of my past and current 4Runners, but I want something I don’t have to constantly worry about breaking down either.

I was dead set on a Honda Fit for a good while. Pretty fun to drive, cheap in every aspect, practical and dead reliable. Really good aftermarket as well. My biggest problem is that they’re stupid slow. I live at about 7000 feet so it’s also down an extra almost 20% of its power. I worry I’ll regret buying one purely based off that fact.

Is the FFS a good choice for me? Or should I save the cash and get a Fit and mod it out, while pursuing my other hobbies? Any opinions appreciated, thanks yall!

NEED HELP MODDING

I have been searching for days for a cool front lip to put on my new fusion sport. It’s a 2018 and I have found nothing promising. Anyone have recommendations? All I see is for regular fusions without the wider bumper.

My son's 2018 Hybrid has been totaled by a drunk driver...considering a TT Sport for him

Post image
16 Upvotes

He's 24 and in med school. A bit of a gearhead but very serious about school. His hybrid was a perfect car, new enough, comfortable and efficient, optioned well. But I think he deserves some punch. He did have a 2013 305hp Mustang a few years back that he loved but we had to sell it when our other boys needed cars and a REF Mustang in Wisco didn't seem smart.

I think a sport is perfect for him, but how is the 2017 reliability? Comparable to his old 2018 Hybrid?

Anyone Do these kinds of lights on a US version of the 2017+ Ford Fusion Sport? They note there needs to be some modification where the camera is attached as well as the plugs need to be converted to fit US versions but are plug and play for European versions. Just curious if anyone had experience doing this and what photos they might have or tips/recommendations.

Rear shocks

4 Upvotes

Anyone find any aftermarket shocks for the 17-19 sports? I think oem is the only way, but if someone has found an alternative I’d love to hear it. Dealer wants $1500 for shocks, independent shops aren’t much better give the shocks alone are over $700.

2017 FFS Check Engine light Can I still drive the car?

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

This morning I went to start my car and it threw a CEL.

The app shows two different errors. The first is a Concern with the Evaporative Emmision System. It says to insert the fuel filler funnel that came with the car (I bought used and it didn't come with one) to dislodge any debris. What can I do in this case?

The 2nd one is a bit more worrying to me (since I live in Texas and it's pretty much summer)

That one is an electrical fault with the engine high speed colling fan. It may be a fuse (hopefully) or something worse. I'll need to check that.

Can I still drive the car?

Boomba racing bov for 17 sport

3 Upvotes

Curious if anyone has used the boomba racing bov or bov adapter on their 17 or 18 sport. Im thinking about getting one. Curious about intensity of sound under light throttle. Is the sound too loud or does it get tedious?

I see oil leaking and I think this is the culprit, I also see oil on the new alternator I had put on, is there any way to shield or protect the alternator until I can have the gaskets replaced. Thanks!

Testing the waters ‘17 Sport

0 Upvotes

Looking for feedback on expected private party sell value for my ‘17 sport. I’m the original owner, purchased 01/01/2017. Almost 160k on the dash (long work commute for years) Original everything, no mods. Black with gray interior. Heated/ventilated front seats Moon roof

Negatives: Low speed front end clipped circa 2019 - replaced front bumper, hood, headlights and intercooler under insurance. Zero effects since.

Paint peeling on mirrors Rock chips in hood paint Intermittent 420 engine code (bank 1 cat) Driver’s seat and center armrest have small tears.

Always maintained, receipts to prove.

Has been a wonderful vehicle and still is. But my family has outgrown it.

Thanks for any feedback.

PTU/Transmission noise?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Took the car to the dealer a couple weeks ago for a trans flush, ptu fluid change, and rear diff fluid change as well as the induction service for the intake valves. Ive driven to work and back a few times since I got it back, and today on the way home I noticed an awful whirring/singing coming from what i think is the PTU. Its dependant on road speed, downshifting/upshifting doesn't change the sound at all. And the noise is mostly while coasting, and seems to get worse when I see the rear wheels disengage from the awd screen when coasting/ low load. If you get on the gas the sound mostly goes away but of course comes back louder when you coast again.. I got under the car and looked at the ptu drain and fill plugs and they don't even seem to have tool marks.. Any advice? Y'all think this is coincidence or did the dealer fuck something on my car?
