Common Problems with the
2020 Ford Fusion (Europe)
The 2020 Ford Fusion (Europe) has an excellent reliability record with no widely reported common faults for this model year period.
Buying Tips for 2020 Ford Fusion (Europe)
- Inspect the passenger footwell carpets for dampness; water regularly leaks past the pollen filter housing seal beneath the windscreen scuttle.
- Avoid the Durashift EST automated manual gearbox; the clutch actuator motors and transmission control unit are prone to failure and costly to repair.
- On 1.4 TDCi diesel models, listen for a rhythmic chuffing noise and smell for exhaust fumes under the bonnet, indicating blown injector copper sealing washers.
- Check the front coil springs; like the contemporary Fiesta Mk6, lower spring coils can fracture over UK speed cushions, damaging tyres if dislodged.
- Test the electric tailgate release button on the dashboard and the key fob; broken wiring in the tailgate rubber gaiter frequently disables electronic opening.
