2007 Ford Fusion — reported problems
CarFaultIQ holds 1,098 evidence records for the 2007 Ford Fusion, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.
What owners report: issue areas
Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 1,277 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

Other / uncategorized: 36 classifications (2.8%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.
These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.
What the records are about, by source
Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.
- Owner complaints (44,688 records, model years 2006–2020) are most frequently classified under: steering, engine and air bags (restraint system).
- Safety recalls (175 records, model years 2006–2020) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), powertrain (transmission & drivetrain) and steering.
- Transport Canada recalls (161 records, model years 2006–2020) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), powertrain (transmission & drivetrain) and seat belts.
- Manufacturer communications (2,166 records, model years 2006–2020) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and engine.
"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
Mileage reported when the issue occurred
- 558reports included a mileage
- 88,000average of those mileages
This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.

Diagnostic codes found in evidence for this vehicle
These codes appear by explicit identifier in official records matched to this exact model and year.
A code appearing in a record means the code was named in that document. It is not a diagnosis of this vehicle, not a fault this vehicle has, and not an indication of urgency. Diagnosis requires reading live data from the vehicle.
