Questions About 2018 Ford Fusion’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Ford's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Ford? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your Fusion towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Fusion's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Ford Fusion transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Ford's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Ford Fusion transmission fluid leak? Yes. Ford Fusion transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.

An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.

You might even experience transmission failure.
