Every Fusion Hybrid model year from 2010 to 2020, scored on reported failures weighted against how many were sold — and ranked against every other Mid-Size Passenger Car of the same year.
Scored separately as its own vehicle: Fusion (2006–2020).
Across 11 scored model years the Fusion Hybrid needs fixing less often than its class, and repairs cost about what you would expect. The spread between years is what matters: 2018 is its strongest, 2010 its weakest.
Longer bar is better. Rank is against every Mid-Size Passenger Car sold that same model year.

The line held a weak position through 2013, ran middling in 2014–2016, and has been strong from 2017 on. This 2020 car falls in a strong stretch.
All 12 systems, measured against the class average for each model year.
Every Fusion Hybrid model year is scored across 12 separate systems — engine, transmission, brakes, electrical, steering and suspension, structure, interior, and five more. Each system is compared against how often that same system fails on the average Mid-Size Passenger Car of the same year, so a common failure is judged against how common it is everywhere else.
Across the last three model years (2018–2020), the trouble concentrates in one place: tires & wheels. That system draws issue reports more often than the same system on the average Mid-Size Passenger Car of its year — which changes what you should be inspecting before you buy.
