On my 2020, whenever the camera loses a line for too much time, such as passing a wide driveway, interstate exit, or construction, it will ring and say it cancelled, turning the missing line orange. It really never cancels the lane centering, but instead turns it off temporarily until it...

I think it depends on when the 2020 was manufactured. The first few months off the assembly line I'm sure were plagued with problems. That is the way with any first model year of any brand new design with any company. I bought 2020 a couple years ago with a tad over 80,000 miles. It is a...

I pretty much exclusively use a USB stick. Put all my music on one stick and leave in the USB port. When I rip music from a CD, I typically use the selection for the best quality. Don't worry about file size. I would think that would be the best quality you could get. The only time I...

2nd that on replacing all. One of mine went dead. A few weeks later another. Around the 5 year mark too.

My sister put them on her Fusion, only because that was the only model Michelin made for her car. She says they are good in the snow, but as they've aged there is quite a bit of road noise. They were quiet when new. Handling seems decent and they ride fine. When she was looking for a 2nd...

Why not just use Motorcraft 5W-30 oil as recommended by Ford. It is readily available and priced affordably.

Weird things start happening when the batteries start dying on these new vehicles. On my Dad's 2018 Fusion Sport, one of the first glitches with a bad battery is that the passive entry will not work on all doors except the drivers. Also affects the seat memory. On his 2018 and my 2019, if the...

I bet it comes down to the installer. Took my wheels off and took my takeoffs to Sam's Club for new tires. Big mistake. Luckily they did not scratch the outside of the wheel, which is pristine, but did scratch up the backside some which I had to touch up. I went to put them on and noticed...

My windshield had been replaced before I got, and luckily they installed the heated windshield. To see if it is heated, take a flashlight and shine it along the bottom edge of the windshield around the windshield wiper in the dark area. If heated, you will be able to see the heater grids. I'm...

Not so. My Dad's 2018 Fusion Sport and my 2019 have never had a recall. Recalls get blown out of proportion sometimes. While some are big safety concerns, such as air bags, brake, or major engine problems, others are just minor or problems that most cars won't have. Preventative recalls. My...

That is the way it is working now. When I did the configurator last week and changed the 2nd row seat, it said the bench required 4WD and the captain's required RWD. It would not let me select captain's chairs with 4WD (or bench with RWD). Must have been a glitch in the configurator they have...

Was messing around with the ST build on the Ford side and saw a couple interesting facts. First there is a discount for the Panoramic Fixed Glass Roof if the Sun and Sound package is chosen. Doesn't say what it is. Why? And second, 2nd row captain's chairs are only available with RWD. If...

Last weekend one of the sensors came up with a fault and stopped sensing on my 2020. It is 6 years old. Glad to hear that it is likely the battery dead in the sensor and not some other issue. Surprised they only last around 5 years. My 2019 Fusion sensors are still working fine, though I...

The brake shields are also different, but have read the ones for the smaller brakes can be modified to fit. They are not simple to swap from what I've read.

One other change: Active Park Assist was deleted in 2025 as either standard or an option. Was available from 2020-2024.
