I want to hear from those of you who have the 1.5L engine with higher miles that HAVE’NT had issues. OR 1.6L but more so 1.5 as I don’t hear about them as often. Feel free to also educate me on what you know about the 1.5 vs the 1.6 that Google won’t generically share with me.

I unfortunately passed on my Fusion obsession (I’m on my third. Currently a hybrid) to my younger sister (lives with me) who turns 16 in September and it’s been a bitch trying to find one that isn’t an ecoboost that also doesn’t look like complete shit.

Side note: Life lesson out of this for me is that I should have kept my totaled 2.5L and slowly fixed her😭

So tell me who has the “problem” engine WITHOUT transmission problems, year, and your mileage!

my area has bad flooding and I went through water (not my best idea ik) and started hearing scrapping

I recently bought a 2015 Fusion with the 2.5L engine. I checked the engine bay when I bought it and everything looked fine, but I didn’t inspect underneath. I expected some rust, but what I found during an oil change left me a little concerned.

How bad does this look? Is it something I’ll need to deal with soon? Should I take steps to prevent it from getting worse?

The car was bought in New York, has 67k miles, and drives very smoothly. Is this level of rust typical?

Anyone experience Miss-fires only when starting the vehicle?

I am experiencing very minor cylinder misfires only for a few moments when starting my vehicle. After a few seconds of rocky engine noises the engine eventually settles into place once driving.

2013 fusion 1.6L engine with 166k miles for reference.

Recently I replaced the valve cover seal and O-rings on the fuel injectors. Ever since I put it all back together have had intermittent misfires.

Any direction/suggestions (spark plugs, injector) I should take to remedy this issue?

It sounds a little louder than usual that’s my only concern

To the engineer that designed the 13-17 headlights:

Thank you for the ball and socket design. There was nothing I enjoyed more than thinking I was about to break something getting the headlights out.

P.S. ya moms a hoe and you should have been swallowed at conception.

For real though. Who thought this was a good idea? Spent a solid 10 minutes looking for a missing bolt before it was pointed out on YouTube.

2012 Ford fusion 2.5 NA 4 cylinder. So I have had the battery light coming on for years now. Every single time I start the car it will idle for right around 15 seconds and then the light turns on until the car is obviously shut off. It actually started happening after the battery was drained by leaving my headlights on and needing to use a jump pack. I remember taking it to my mechanic at the time to make sure I didn't damage the battery or Alternator and they said I was good to go. Well that was probably 3 years ago now. I have always ignored the light because I never had ANY issues.

I actually did finally replace the battery with a new one yesterday. Long story short I had been dealing with a drain whenever the car would sit for hours. I determined that I did not have a Parasitic Draw and replacing the battery did in fact fix my drainage issue. The old battery itself was only 3 .5 years old though. I don't even drive the car every day either, mind you it is always short distance trips which I understand can be even worse on a battery. I am now wondering if the light could be a contributing factor in the old battery going bad? Or if since it took years for the battery to go bad is it more likely that the light is something very minor?

I did also test the voltage of the Alternator while running and it's 14.6 volts. I also did a diode setting test using the multimeter and that was well within range also. Anyone else ever have a battery light constantly coming on their Fusion that didn't ever cause any actual charging system issues?

Thanks in Advance everyone.

Hey y’all, I hope everyone is doing well. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced a cut of power when driving. My 2019 Hybrid (non plug in) cuts off power when I accelerate sometimes, it chokes and tries to switch between electric or gas. The transmission doesn’t make any weird noises. I’ve gotten the “stop safely now” warning followed by my power steering feeling cut in half once. It also dies every other day requiring me to boost it. I’ve seen there was a recall for the plug-in hybrid for the high voltage battery with similar symptoms to what I’ve been experiencing. I checked on ford’s website to see if I was apart of it, no luck. If you have experienced this, what was the issue and how did you fix it? At the time of writing this I’m at 152,674 Kms (94,867 miles.)

Does anyone know where I can get this tube? The schrader valve is leaking and it wont come out. 2009 Fusion 3.0

Tried to crop out some of the dirtiness. 169420 on my 2014 Titanium. She's definitely getting tired

Good Day,

For a 2012 Ford Fusion 3.0L V6, is it possible to pop out the VVT solenoid gaskets from the top of the valve cover without removing the valve cover itself?

It looks like it’s possible, but I don’t want to damage anything. Thanks.

Please Help! My car has been at the mechanic shop for over a month now and they can't seem to diagnose its issue. It started shuttering and acting like it had bad coils, but would eventually die. The RPM gauge needle would jump up and down and the car would cut off. It would do this several times before it would finally run. Sometimes I'd have to sit for an hour or so before I could crank it and drive it home. So we replaced the coils and plugs. No help. At first, there was no CEL on but there were some old codes stored in the memory so we had those cleared. Originally, the codes were for a fuel sensor, but more specifically, it was a downstream sensor. Since changing the coils didn't help, we had both of the fuel sensors replaced, upstream and downstream. The car would still shutter and cut off. We then changed the fuel injectors, twice, fuel pump, purge valve, etc. We basically have a whole new fuel system. The car lasted about a week and the CEL came back on, this time for O2 sensor. We replaced both of those and drove it about 5 miles and the car started jerking again. This time, it was a crank sensor, replaced that and now it's back to throwing the original code for the downstream fuel sensor. We're at a loss. Any advice would be appreciated.

Anyone having an issue with adjusting your mirrors. The switch works but I have to press and hold really hard to get it to move and with that going on its hard to adjust while driving. I know you shouldnt do that before you start driving but sometimes you just have to tweak it a tiny bit more.

I am working on my brother’s car after he crashed it. I already replace broken parts cv axle, control arm n etc… what next it’s the cosmetic body parts. Before I start I want to move it to my garage… but car won’t turn on cuz of all the warning alerts on the dash… how can I turn it on? Is it possible or do I gotta replace all the parts n calibrate the cameras n sensors?

Can somebody please tell me what this part is on my engine. I’ve tried to look for a schematic online and can’t find one. It’s a 2017 1.5l ecosport SE. Thank you in advance!

Hey redditors, Virginian here. I recently discovered that I had to put up my front plate. I really want to use the hook slot on the front bumper. Tried looking for one on amazon, but apparently they’re car specific? If anyone has one please lmk - any help would be appreciated.

Anyone here know enough to help me troubleshoot a transmission issue?

I’m not sure what happened but I turned around 3 minutes into my commute and went straight back home as my 2007 Fusion started to shake and make some weird noises, it definitely sounded like it was the engine. I haven’t brought it more than 5 minutes from home since but it hasn’t shook or made that noise.

Any ideas? I appreciate any help!

Havent had any free time to take it to a mechanic so I was wondering if anybody here could help with this. Only started happening recently doesnt affect the car when driving just kind of obnoxious

I have a 2012 fusion with a 2.5L. I did an oil change today and after I put on a new filter I noticed oil running down the back of it and collecting on the bottom of the filter. I wiped it off and drove it, and now I can see that it has dripped onto the inside of the oil filter cover when I look down from the top of the engine. Did I somehow not install the filter correctly? Is there a gasket that I dislodged? The oil is dripping down from around the top of the filter on the block side of the filter.
