Transmission Reprogramming 2010 Fusion

• Re: New visit to dealer for Trans. [babbs3]

  Written by: winter2 on Apr 17, 2011 5:21:16 PM

  I have a 2010 Mercury Milan and when cold, in the twenties or colder, the trans does shift hard/firmly until it warms up. I asked my local dealer about this and they informed me that the trans fluid is not a synthetic but a petroleum based item. When my Milan reaches 15,000 miles, I am going to dump the Ford fluid and replace it with a synthetic. Amsoil has one that ... Read More

Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan Maintenance & Repair

• Transmission Behavior

  Written by: winter2 on Feb 21, 2011 7:23:13 AM

  I purchased a 2010 Mercury Milan in early January of this year. I am generally satisfied with this car except with the transmission. When it is cold, it shifts harshly for the first few miles and then settles down. I have made a comment to the dealer and they have told me it is due to the fact that the trans fluid is a non-synthetic. That kind of makes sense. At ... Read More

  Mercury has $1500 in dealer cash available now. But they're not going to build a bunch of them so they won't be piled up on dealer lots so I don't expect the deals to get much better except maybe on a few oddball leftovers.

  Since Mercury is going bye bye, wont be long when you will be able to get great deals on that line. I doubt it. The market system will not allow the Milan's price to drop below that of a comparably equipped Fusion, since the two are functionally identical. Right now there's only a couple hundred dollars difference in most cases anyway. So don't expect to pick up a Milan Premier for ... Read More

• 2010 Milan passenger seat to table conversion

  Written by: pod on Aug 30, 2010 6:47:21 PM

  One nice feature of the 2010 Milan is that the passenger seatback folds forward flat as can be (and level). It essentially converts to a flat table like surface. When I have no passengers, I fold it and move it as far forward as I can and it presents a surface for whatever. It also takes the seatback and headrest out of sight lines and opens the interior of the car ... Read More

  Same goes for Lincoln really. They seem to just be gussied up Ford's as well with all too often over done styling that comes off somewhat unattractive. If there are any cost savings from dumping Mercury, Ford should put all that money into improving Lincoln. I don't understand why people pay another 10 grand for essentially the same car and drive train as a Ford? I think that's going to be ... Read More

  I needed to lease a new car and was tempted by the Fusion ad for $167.00 a month. Of course it was for 24 months, 10,000 miles a year and I needed 36 months, 20,000 miles a year. My Ford/Lincoln/Mercury dealer gave me a price of $282.00/month for a loaded 2010 Milan.

  Well, I stopped and looked the the threads listed under "Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan", and there isn't one there about the Hybrid brake issue, so you have a good point on that issue. I frequent several Fusion forums, and I'm so used to seeing them, I assumed there would be one here, too. I'm real suprised it isn't. Maybe it's a good idea for you to post your link in an appropriately ... Read More

Consumer Reports withdrew the Camry as a Recommended car. Their Best Buys include the Chevrolet Malibu, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Mazda 6, Mercury Milan, and Toyota Prius.

  Written by: Car_man on Aug 20, 2009 3:56:52 AM

  Hi Brian. It really doesn't make sense to lease a Fusion or Milan Hybrid or right now. Ford is not currently providing lease support on these cars. As a result, if you were to lease one through Ford Credit, you would have to pay a very high interest rate. Ford Credit's current 36 month, 15,000 mile per year residual value for a 2010 Milan Hybrid 2WD is 44%. Combine this with ... Read More

  Remember they're bringing over some of the European brands and I'm sure some of those will end up as Mercury's. With the shift towards fuel economy it will now be viable to offer premium versions of smaller cars (B and C size) that would not have worked before. You should check out the 2010 Fusion I4 - best in class fuel economy for both the regular and hybrid version, according to ... Read More

  I'm very curious about which engines will be offered on the 2010 Ford Fusion (and Mercury Milan if it's still around). The current 2.3L I-4 will be replaced by the same 2.5L being introduced in the 2009 Mazda6. But what about the V6? It seems unlikely that the V6 from the Mazda6 will also make it to the Fusion. Currently, the only Ford using that 3.7L V6 is the Lincoln MKS. ... Read More

Another thing they wrote is that new Taurus may be based on CD3 platform whichis in all due respoct I cannot imagine. Are they smoking or it was April 1st?

Inside or outside, you instantly know which is a Toyota and which is a Honda product. The same is true, but to a lesser extent, with the Nissan products, as the Infiniti ... Read More
