2006 Ford Fusion Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Ford's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Ford? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Fusion towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Fusion is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Fusion's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Ford Fusion’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Ford, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Ford Fusion? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Ford Fusion, potentially causing transmission problems.
