Hello, @jsamp! Thank you for your reply, and I hope you DO get the ‘69 Cougar to 1,000,000! I’ve seen your posts and comments over the years when I’d just view the website, so it’s a bit of a trip to see your reply in the best way possible, haha. I don’t think it will make it to 1,000,000 miles either, at least on the stock parts. I do anticipate having to either have the EV or hybrid motor repaired or replaced, but I’m hoping it happens after 500,000 miles, haha! My mentality is to hopefully grow with the car to the point where I know what to expect in the sense of failures ahead of time. If it does make it to 500,000 miles on stock motors and the stock transmission, my modest math would be to assume I’ll have to replace them at least once every X miles. The “X” is 300,000 miles and counting, for now. I think weather, preventive measures(like never going below a 20% charge which I don’t), maintenance, and so on will lead to the concluding result, but time will tell most. I will run that test and get back to you here. Overall, I just hope it keeps chugging along.

Hello, Anybody out there? My name is Pheonix, and I own a 2014 Ford Fusion Energi Titanium with approximately 300,000 miles. The car is currently on its stock motors, transmission, spark plugs(12/2023, oops, but thanks, EV mode), and so on. I primarily requested to join this group as I I’ve always been a lurker of older posts and users through out the years, but I’ve noticed the ownership rating(in the sense or how many people still use them) of these cars has plummeted the last few years. It is evident I missed out on the prime eras for the vehicle. I have a dream and an ambition to get this car to 1,000,000 miles, and to give it to Ford or a Ford Museum or somewhere where it can sit as a positive reflection of Ford and the Ford Fusion Energi. They’re also incredibly cheap in California, and I have had thoughts about starting a fleet rental company with Energi or hybrid models. I am rebuilding the suspension with KONI STR. T shocks and struts, Steeda 7/8” lowering springs, and a few other suspension upgrades mostly provided by MOOG Suspension. I aspire to document everything as best as I can, and hopefully inspire some other people around this series from the Ford Fusion lineup. I have a representative from Steeda that is going to help find other applicable parts as well. I live in a hilly area in Southern California, so my EV range for the life of the car has said 41 miles. I’ve changed the 02 sensors, spark plugs, motor mounts, and a few other things within the last couple of months and I will post the upgrades accordingly on the website/thread categories. Best wishes to you all! 🙂
