underwhelming performance and low-quality interior. With a small, 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine producing just 78 horsepower, it struggles on highways and offers a rough ride.

The nine-speed automatic transmission was a particular weak point, often leading to jerky shifts and performance issues.

The base 1.8-liter engine feels sluggish, and the continuously variable transmission (CVT) is prone to failure. Many owners also report frequent issues with reliability, lowering its value as a daily commuter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ford_Fusion_2013-2019\"><\/span><strong>Ford Fusion<\/strong> (2013-2019)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2014-Ford-Fusion.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2014-Ford-Fusion.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2014-Ford-Fusion-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2014-Ford-Fusion-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Ford Fusion may look appealing, but it has suffered from transmission problems and less-than-ideal fuel economy for a midsize sedan.
