DaveNagy Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hi all, My wife and I are looking for a new (used) car, and we seem to be gravitating towards either the Fusion Hybrid/Energi, or the MKZ Hybrid. I've read that certain Fusions built in early 2013 and before can have some issues, and I was wondering if the same was true for the MKZ. Are there any MKZ build dates that I should attempt to avoid? I'd be looking at both 2013s and 2014s if I decided to buy. Thanks a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2D2 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I can only speak to the 2014 MKZh and can tell you it has been totally trouble free. I bielieve my build date was in July 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermans Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I have a job 1 MKZh and there have been very few issues. The power train is the same as the job 1 '13 FFH that I just sold, that did have some issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenZ Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Hi all, My wife and I are looking for a new (used) car, and we seem to be gravitating towards either the Fusion Hybrid/Energi, or the MKZ Hybrid.

I'd be looking at both 2013s and 2014s if I decided to buy. Thanks a ton. I got my 2013 MKZh in May 2013. The build date was the last week of April 2013. Roughly 20,000 miles. No problems. My service visits have been the 2 scheduled maintenance visits and/or a couple recalls. 42 MPG lifetime average, could not be happier.

cjsturtevant Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I have a 2013 MKZ. i have to say it is a lemon within a lemon. I have had nothing but problems and will be trading in for something else in the fall. Windshield wipers did not turn on, corrosion on the cheap chrome, brakes at 30,000, auto headlights stopped working, heated steering wheel stopped working, blew out 2 tires within the first year..need 2 more after only 30,000 miles, paint is bubbling on the hood. 4 recent recalls, trunk issues, door latch problems, etc.This is the worst car I have ever owned...stay away!

PatriotSunset Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) So cjs - the question was about build dates to avoid. Sounds like yours might be one of them, so what is it? Edited July 10, 2015 by PatriotSunset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermans Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I've had none of those issues and mine is a 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtsnake Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 There were a bunch of vehicles left outside with the windows down and a sandstorm hit the plant area. So there are some CD3xx vehicles out there with lots of issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
