What Common Problems Does the 2007 Ford Fusion Have?
Problems with the 2007 Fusion are relatively minor compared to other midsize cars and include damaged dashboards, broken engine pulleys, and some brake issues.
Cracked and peeling dashboards are the most common complaints from owners at about 80,000 miles. Some owners install a dash cover costing about $100, while others replace the dashboard for over $1,000.
Failed idler pulleys on the engine happen on some vehicles at roughly 105,000 miles. Replacing the broken pulley is fairly easy and only costs around $200.
A loss of brake pressure is mentioned by some owners at around 70,000 miles. The brake master cylinder gets damaged when it hits bumps hard, and costs about $500 to replace.
There are 5 recalls, with the most serious one being for the antilock brake valve, which can stay open and reduce braking force. The other recalls cover air bags and floor mats, which are not a big concern once they’ve been replaced.
How Long Will the 2007 Ford Fusion Last?
A properly maintained 2007 Fusion will last around 250,000 miles, around 50,000 miles more than a top competitor like the Honda Accord. Regular annual maintenance costs are similar to other midsize sedans at $439 per year, according to Repair Pal.
Most 2007 Fusions will have over 100,000 miles, so buyers should be prepared to replace the fuel injectors for $350, the windshield wiper motor costing $275, and the transmission oil cooler which costs $650.
Yes, it is very reliable. I do have an airbag recall on it at this time and will be scheduling an appointment with the ford dealership for a free replacement and a car to drive while it is being replaced.
No, only a couple minor problems because it's a older car. But besides for small repair work it's a reliable car.
The ford fusion se is very reliable on parts because they're easier to find. Only problems you get are the basic worn down issues.
The car is very reliable. Other than a battery it had never let me down and has kept me safe. I have only found cosmetic issues such as door pins and the radio screen not working.
It is a very reliable and dependable vehicle. Air conditioning, after year 10, is the only thing not working on the vehicle.
I had to install a oxygen sensor when engine light went on. It needed tire rods and boots and a battery that’s all since 2015
Yes it is reliable although we have had to replace the transmission twice on it because it kept slipping and would go into limp mode and through 8 different codes
This Ford Fusion has been very reliable. Other than having to soon schedule a repair appointment for an ”airbag recall” to be resolved, I am satisfied with my Fusion.

What Colors Does the Fusion Come In?
How Big Is the Fusion?
The 2007 Ford Fusion is similar in size to other midsize sedans including the Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata. Passenger room is better than a lot of rivals with enough legroom in the backseats to comfortably fit taller adults.
Cargo space is average for a sedan with a 15.8 cubic foot trunk, which will fit 3 to 4 suitcases.
How Does the Fusion Compare to the Competition?
The Chevy Malibu is a popular competitor that’s about $500 cheaper. Where the Malibu stands out is with a more powerful engine, but everything else is better on the Fusion. We recommend the Fusion since it’s a more reliable choice long-term.
The Honda Accord is another rival that is in the same price range. Reliability ratings are better on the Accord, but the Fusion has more room for passengers. We recommend the Accord since they’re a better choice on the used market with lower ownership costs.
Do Owners Recommend the Ford Fusion?

Yes, it's ok. It's an older car but it's still in nice condition and drives well. I think ford makes good cars.
Yes the ford fusion se is an excellent car because it is great on gas and very affordable. Also, it's a nice size car for a young driver.
The vehicle is very mechanically sound. It seems to have a few cosmetic issues such as a window mechanism falling and issues with door pins.
Mine has the heated seats and I absolutely love it. The only thing I dislike about the ford brand is that the air conditioner stops working on year 10. This is my third one and that has been consistent. It still drives great I just have the oil and tires changed and fuel in the tank. It is a very reliable and dependable vehicle.
It’s the most dependable car I've ever had. Still riding strong with over 200,000 miles. And I have an invested too much money in it because nothing ever breaks
Yes it is a great vehicle. It's great for the family. The fusion drives smooth and is fast and reliable
Yes. It drives smoothly and is sporty looking. The color is black so it shows dirt well. I have leather seats and they are nice but I would prefer fabric seats because the leather seats are hot in the summer. I have had great performance and dependability from this Fusion. I wish it would get better gas mileage. I do not have any regrets with buying this Ford Fusion.
