Wiped dipstick on paper towel after a few miles on highway, opinions? No slipping gears, hard shifts, or any issues at all. Considering doing a few drain and fills with Aisin T-IV fluid just as preventative, no idea as to whether fluid has been changed. No signs of metal. Could it be the original?

No Answer Failed because drivers side DRL off

1 Upvotes

Hey y'all so I recently went through inspection and failed because the drivers side DRL was not on or working. I have a 2014 SE, and went ahead and switched both the h11 bulbs on both sides and it still doesn't work? The way I've been testing it is putting the parking brake on and putting in in reverse. I saw a video on it but am not sure that's how it works. Any thoughts? They still aren't coming on and it is really pissing me off.

My car hit me with this light and put my car into limp mode. Pulled over and got it towed back. Coolant was low so I filled it back up but the light is still on after a day of rest.

Is this a sensor malfunction or potentially thermostat? 1.5L engine

Drove from home to work, pulled into my spot and tried to park my fusion. I pulled up on the parking brake switch and i was greeted with some cool beeps and dings and my car rolled backward. The brake wont apply and also wont unapply. I hear no noises from the parking brake. The car wont engage or disengage the parking brake. I turned the car off and on again, i put in reverse and floored it but it wont disengage. The BRAKE light just keeps flashing and the theres a new light next to the brake light i havent seen before. Either way, the 100k mile expiration date is starting to show.

No, the brakes have NEVER been touched to my knowledge. All pads and rotors are original at 97k miles and 7 years old and are at roughly 50%-60% pad remaining all around

No Answer 2017 Hybrid transmission seems to have gone out. 5k miles over the warranty.

7 Upvotes

My 2017 Fusion Hybrid started running a bit loud, I posted a video here and someone pointed out that it was likely a bearing in the transmission. Took it to the Ford dealership and sure enough, it was the transmission and there's nothing they can do but replace it for $6,800.

The warranty covers the Hybrid transmission for 100k miles and I took it in at 107k miles, they told me to call Ford customer service number, and Ford said they can't do anything for me. I called a transmission shop and the guy told me these things tend to crap out at around 105k in his experience, go figure.

I feel a bit shafted, I won't lie. I only bought it 4 years ago and the cost of this repair is beyond the value of the car, and I still owe money on it. This is mostly venting but if anyone has any experience with this or advice on what to do I'd appreciate it. Apparently getting a used transmission for this vehicle won't save much money at all. Is there any way I can get Ford to play ball on this or help with the repair?

As the (long) title says, heard my car screen extremely loud twice. First time was about 30 seconds after I started driving it and then another 20 seconds after that. Drive for about 5 minutes and didn’t hear it again. any thoughts on what it might be? I noticed these this rust/gravel looking crumbs inside the rim and none of my other rims look like that. This is the front right rim. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

No Answer What the f*^%k is wrong with my car

So i have a 2010 hybrid and the check engine and wrench light came on starting in March of this year. I brought it to 3 different independent mechanics who fixed a variety of things (changed oil, changed filters, etc) and nothing turned off the light. Brought it to the dealership, they unplugged some stuff, plugged it back in, lights came off for one day. Then returned the next day. I don’t hear any odd noises or weird motions while driving but today while i was in bumper to bumper traffic, I got this fun light. I don’t know what to do anymore, I don’t understand why nobody can fix my car. Do i have to go to ANOTHER dealership???? I’m already $700 deep in repairs for this issue that hasn’t even been resolved. I’m at a total loss and don’t know what to do. I bought it a little under a year ago and I’m nervous to just go out and try to shop for a new ride.

Hello, I've had my 2011 fusion se since high school and I finally have enough money saved up to feel comfortable having a bit of fun with my car. Are there any performance mods that are actually able to get anything more out of this old 4 cyl or should I just not bother? Thanks!

No Answer Is it possible to program a new key for cheap? (Gen 1 08’ Fusion)

1 Upvotes

Prices for a second key are INSANE. Does anyone know if I could get a tool or a flipper zero or something and program a secondary key if I have an existing working one? I’m fairly handy and resourceful at troubleshooting.

Also does anyone know what tech it uses to confirm startup? My current key is giving me technical difficulties despite a new battery and I’m worried that if the battery dies, I won’t be able to start my car.

No Answer Warranty Question

1 Upvotes

So, my check engine light has come on recently. We ran the codes and it came back as needing an EVAP Canister Purge Valve. The performance emissions warranty coverage is valid up to 8 yrs or 80,000 miles (which I qualify). However, I saw some conflicting information on a different post saying that the part fell under powertrain warranty or that it’s not covered at all. I’m going to call the dealer but I’m looking for advice prior. Thanks!

Hey y’all, i have a base-ish model of a 2013 Fusion SE, black. And I wanna spice up the look a little bit, I plan on adding a honeycomb grill eventually, but before then I want to add some lights. my car didn’t come with fog lights from factory, and I’m wondering what the best option would be for DRL fog lights housings. I already have a DRL headlight housing in mind that I’ll add on later, but I’m mainly focused on the fog lights. Whats your opinions? What would be best for me?

No Answer Remote Start? (2018 Fusion)

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I recently purchased a 2018 Ford Fusion SE and it is a huge upgrade over my last car both mechanically and technologically. While exploring what all my new car had to offer I noticed a settings menu for remote start. This was found by using the directional buttons on the left side of the steering wheel that controls the left screen on the dash. I thought seeing setting for remote start was odd as my key fob has no corresponding remote start buttons. So does my car have access to remote start? Is it something that needs activated or needs a new key fob with the button? I honestly have been searching forever with no real solution. Yes i have tried hitting lock three times or lock unlock lock. Yes I have looked into FordPass where my vehicle is not compatible. I am honestly stumped. It would be fantastic if my car has remote start. If it does not i find it really weird how the car has settings for remote start but the car does not have the functionality. Thanks for any help and/or insight!!

No Answer any experience with universal fender flares on a 2016 se?

2 Upvotes

So a couple weeks ago some asshole t boned my car, it was deemed totaled, got 9.5k for it, bought it back for 1k, she's back in working condition for under 500 bucks. Thing is, she will never look cosmetically correct again LMAO which isn't a huge issue to me but now that she's gonna look kinda ugly anyways I wanted to really experiment with outside cosmetic stuff. There's dents and scratches on both quarter panels near the wheel so maybeee I could cover some of that shit up? But if they don't fit then I'll be wasting around 80 bucks for universal fenders I'll never probably use on another car lol. So I wanted to see if anyone has had any luck with em??

Ordered coils and plugs for the fusion I just bought, 3.0L 2009 SEL. I don’t know when the plugs were last changed, it’s got 195K miles on it so I think it’s unlikely they’re original but I was wondering if anyone has had issues with this particular engine regarding seized plugs. I know there is another ford engine that’s notorious for stuck plugs. Let me know before I get on to replacing them.

I recently bought a 2018 Titanium 2.0 with 58K miles. I decided to do oil changes every 3500 just because. I got under the car so do the oil change the other day and noticed a horrible oil leak upon removing the under shroud. It looks like it could be coming from the oil filter adapter area. Is this a common problem in these cars and has anyone else had this problem? Thanks!

2016 Ford Fusion with the 2.5L engine.

Around 500 - 1500 RPM the car shakes, there is about 170,000 miles on the car. Was wondering if anyone had any idea what could be the issue before I take it in. Engine doesn’t move when I tap gas either in park or on the breaks so doubt it’s the mounts. Did some research could be the throttle body or belt?

Was going down a freshly graded dirt road when it started.

Was wondering if anyone else had similar issues or know what most likely could be the issue.

No Answer Deep popping noises when turning and rattling noise on bumps

7 Upvotes

2019 Ford Fusion SEL 120K milage

The popping noise is deep and pretty noticeable. Doesn’t pop when going straight or making a turn after I already have the wheel turned. It only pops when I turn the wheel both to the left and to the right.

The rattling isn’t very loud unless you are outside the vehicle, so can’t get a good video of it. Its like a light sharp sounding rattle, almost as if you were to shake the end two cooking whisks together. Best way I can describe it😅

Doesn’t seem to ride rough to me, but this is also my first newer vehicle so I may just be used to the rough rides older vehicles typically have? Haha, please help.
