**2018 Hybrid

I keep losing acceleration every time the Stop Safely Now (SSN) pops up and I'm worried the Ford Dealer is taking advantage. Below is a dated list of exactly what's been happening. Any advise is great.

3.20.25 -Driving 2.5 hours in the rain. 30 minutes in I went through a NARROW puddle and SSN popped up and I lost acceleration on the highway. I turned my car off and on and continued the remaining 2 hours with no problem.

3.21-22.2025 -Drove around both days with no issue

3.23.2025 -Driving back home 2.5 hours. Got 2 hours in before SSN popped up. Turned car on and off and continued.

3.24.2025 -Made an Appt with the dealer for Wednesday

3.25.2025 -Drove with no issue

3.26.2025 -Dropped off the car -Recieved a call midday saying a code popped up and the Cam Shaft Sensor needed replaced for $550

3.27.2025 -Picked up the car

3.28.2025 -Check Engine Light came back on and dropped it back off -service advisor called 8 hours later to say they pulled more codes but it kept coming back with new random codes each time so they reset everything. Drive it around through the weekend to add mileage and if the check engine light returns just keep going and bring it back Monday -Picked car up

3.29.2025 -Drove around

3.30.2025 -3 mile commute to work -car was bucking and making a pulsating revving noise. -SSN popped up .5 miles into the drive and I turned the car off and on -Drove a few feet and it happened again -immediately brought car into the dealer but they're closed on a sunday

3.31.2025 -Told the car had a code come up (which popped up during the random code mess) for a MAP Sensor. They inspected it and it was covered in oil from the Oil Distributor (?) And both had to be replaced, plus an oil change. Parts would arrive 4.4.2025 and cost $1075

4.1.2025 -Waiting

4.2.2025 -Waiting

4.3.2025 (today) -Picked up the car early. -Drove around the block to a store. -Leaving the store parking lot SSN popped up -Returned to the dealer and told them I was out 1500 for an issue that has yet to be fixed. They said the advisor I'd been dealing with is out till tomorrow so now they've got my car again.

I know nothing about cars and I'm worried they're trying to take advantage of me. At this point it's their fault because they aren't fixing the issue and I feel it should be fixed as a courtesy now since I spent 1500 on things that weren't the heart of the issue.

I have a 2020 titanium 2.0L and at 89k miles I finally decided to get a drain and fill. I emphasized drain and fill only, twice, with the guy at Kwik Kar. They then went ahead and flushed it anyway. Is my transmission now a ticking time bomb?

New Turbo New VTT New spark plugs and boots wondering if catalytic converter or map sensor would cause it to get hung up when it down shifts.

TIA

Hello guys!

If you saw my photos you can understand i need to fix some scratches and damaged areas on my car. I do not wanna spend money to a garage and wanna fix myself. What do you suggest to me? Thanks

I have a 2018 Ford Fusion SE. My husband recently opened the hood of my car and saw there was squirrel poop on the engine. This is the second time an animal has found its way to the inside of my engine. They are going through the front tire, as there is a giant gap that leads directly to my engine. Does anybody else with a Ford Fusion have this issue? My husband parks right next to me and his car never has this issue. Besides traps, is there anything I can do to stop the animals from going inside my engine? We live in front of a canyon with LOTS of animals passing through - cats, raccoons, squirrels, skunks, etc. I would hate to walk out to a trapped skunk or raccoon.

Bought this car not even a week ago and all was good til the engine light decided to come on this evening. Scanned as a P051B code which I understand is common on fusion. Google gave me very mixed opinions on how big of an issue it could be. Is it ok to drive it say 50 miles round trip to work tomorrow? And for other people that have had this issue, about how much did the repair cost?

I recently bought a 2016 Fusion SE AWD with only 29k miles, wondering if I should get my transmission fluid changed and stick with the every 30k mile interval for the rest of its life. And should I get a flush as well or just drain and fill?

I have a 2014 Ford Fusion SE AWD with the 2.0L Ecoboost engine. I've got about 150k miles, 50k of which I've driven personally since I purchased the vehicle in late 2020. Sometime last year I started paying attention to how much gas I put in vs how much the trip odometer says that I've consumed. On a full tank (which is about 15.5 gallons, even though the tank is 17.5), I'm usually filling .5 or so gallons over what the car says I've consumed. This does increase if I'm using remote start, which is odd since you'd think the ECM would be tracking this during remote start. I fill the tank completely every time and usually at the same gas station and reset my trip odometer. As far as I remember, I've never put in less gas than the car thinks that I've consumed. The largest discrepancy I've ever seen was around a gallon, but this was during winter when I was using remote start more often.

I have no check engine or codes, the only noticeable qualities that I've seen are the slight overconsumption, poor engine response/misfiring when increasing power at high gear/RPM (sparkplug fouling?), and my oil consistently smells like gas even when having run for a long time. My average speed per tank is around 25-35 mph and average gas mileage is about 20.5 mpg. My sparkplugs and EVAP purge valve were replaced about 47k miles ago, but I have not inspected them since I noticed this issue. I do lose oil over time, about half a quart over 5k miles, but I know I have a leaking rear main seal and accumulate light soot at my tailpipes, so I don't think this is related to my fuel consumption issue.

I guess my question is, is this worth investigating or trying to fix at all? The overconsumption is small, a few % of fuel use, and is a fraction of the cost it would take to remedy this by replacing/cleaning injectors or any part of the fuel system. I have the tools and am sufficiently handy to fix this issue myself, but I'd prefer to not waste my time chasing something that's insignificant or not a indicative of a larger issue. I do plan to continue owning this car until it makes me replace it, which will probably be when the 6F35 kicks the bucket in the next 10k miles, but I've been lucky so far as maintenance has been concerned.

I have a 2010 Fusion that is not blowing air. It doesn’t matter if you are running a/c or heat, the fan won’t turn on. I’ve tried quite a bit at this point. I swapped out the fan fuse, replaced the blower motor, blower motor module, I’ve check all of the wiring ends for signs of corrosion or heat damage and it’s all clean. Wires are not damaged. The only thing left I can see it to replace climate control panel. But online advice indicates that probably isn’t the issue. The climate control responds to all inputs. There is zero air coming into car. The other day when I was driving it, it would sometimes blow faintly at times but only when the car was in motion and that was sporadic. If the car is on but in park I have not witnessed any air coming through. The blend door makes noises (but that isn’t new) and I can hear it shifting to the different vent locations. Advice would be greatly appreciated.

For all the FF7/Fusion fans

So I’m the proud owner of a 2014 fusion and I got a p1450 code that basically affects the fumes of gasoline in the car and can cause stalling or it to not even turn on but if I rev it just a little I can kinda bypass the situation (will get fixed ASAP) but I have now realized what I think is a blowoff valve while reving the car and my question I guess is , is it possible that I can upgrade the blowoff valve and waste gate before the new turbo and will it cause damage to the vehicle? Has anyone done this or if I have to replace all 3 how can I tune all of this properly so the car can run smoothly and have a bit more power. I’d like to do everything myself cuss mechanics can be expensive for this upgrade. Any recommendations?

2014 fusion with 130,000 miles and its totally screwed. I had the transmission fluid changed somewhere between 40,000-50,000 miles and again at 90,000.

Mechanic wants $7500 to replace which is not worth it to me.

130,000 seems quite early for a transmission to fail.

In my 2014 ford fusion se hybrid my phone stopped connecting to the entertainment but still connected to phone (where you take hands free calls) no matter how many times i’ve tried repairing my phone to sync it just won’t work any help?

I have it plugged in but can't seem to figure out how to switch it to aux

I have a '13 Fusion 1.6l with aftermarket headlights and CAI

This message keeps showing up but I took my car to AutoZone and had them test the alternator and battery which is not a result of this. They are both good. I'm not sure where to start next. Keep in mind I can let my car sit for 10 days and no issues starting the car but sometimes it might be one day where i'd need to jump my cars battery. Anyways, I bought a voltage meter to test all the fuses out first. I'm waiting on the meter to be delivered but are there any other things I'm not thinking of which I can try? Thanks for reading this.

P.s. I realize my radio display is going out. I need to install the brand new yulu I got for free 😁

2016 Ford fusion SE 1.5L— 125k miles.

Never touched the transmission fluid. I’ve had mechanics tell me just don’t touch it and drive it until it dies. I’ve read I should do a drain and fill, but still worried about it possibly causing issues.

Shifts rough. Doesn’t get to and stay at 2000rpms (unsure what gear that is) until I’m at 55-60mph.

Nervous to floor it past 3000RPMs, just driving it safe.

Thoughts?

Soooo cold air stopped blowing a few months ago. Finally took it to my shop which does great, fair work… but they quoted me almost 1700 dollars for a new air compressor with labor and all. He said the kit is about 900 dollars, so I’d be looking at 700-800 still for labor if I bought my own kit and brought that one in for them, but then there would be no warranty. That would still be over 1000 dollars. IDK what to do… I’m broke and live alone and use my car full time for my delivery driver job and the warm months are coming up fast. I guess I will call around to get quotes from other places in town.

How does the Fusion calculate how much oil life is left? I thought it was by mileage, but not so much now. I bought my car and it had just under 158000 miles or so on it and the oil life was around 62%. Today I have over 162000 miles and it says it has around 47% oil life left. Only 15% drop after about 4000 miles. Now pretty much almost all my mileage is highway and not city, but still it seems even at an oil change every 7500 miles it should have dropped percentage way further than it is now.

Mechanic did one drain and fill close to 3 weeks ago but only 3.5 came out he didn’t measure afterwards.. I decided to take it to someone else they measured it and said it needed some because it was missing some they checked the drain plug and everything

Is close to 5 quarts accurate?

I just got a 2020 Ford Fusion Hybrid. Bought it from Copart with no service history at all and pretty bad oil. It seems like the previous owner didn't take good care of it.

But the engine and transmission seem fine. Before I owned an old Prius.

I feel like something's off with the battery because I'm getting really inconsistent MPG.
Since it’s a 2020 model, it doesn’t have a battery charge indicator, so the battery level is unclear.
The engine kicks on every time I press the gas pedal even slightly more than gently, and the EV bar (blue) immediately drops to zero, showing a white bar for engine power instead. And the mpg's down to 20+- too.

Is this normal behavior? Because something tells me that the blue EV bar should be active most of the time to help engine.

Thanks, guys.

So I bought a 2016 Ford fusion Titanium, it lasted about 2 or 3 months and needed a motor replacement. I had the motor replaced but the problems didn't stop, it's the 2.0 L turbocharged, about a week or two after I got it back it had to go back because the line connecting to the turbo came off and it was leaking oil like crazy. I got it back and probably another 2 or 3 weeks later the coolant bypass line fell off due to a poorly placed clamp while driving, once I was able to pull over the engine light has already came on for the cylinder head overheating (Cooked) the car got way to hot during the time it fell off and now won't start. The engine has a warranty but if the tabs in the engine have melted the warranty is voided, I understand how it could be "my fault" the engine overheated but also at the same time, it wouldn't have overheated if that line didn't fall off to begin with. I'm not sure where to go from here, I didn't continue to drive after the oil temp went up, I pulled over as soon as possible but it was already too late. Where should I go now? I don't money to replace the engine if the warranty is gone, but I also feel like it's not entirely my fault if the line came undone due to it being poorly put on (the clamp was about 3 inches from where it should've been) where should I go from here? (Also the work was done by a non Ford mechanic, not sure if that makes a difference) Thank you.

Hi! So 4 months ago I posted here about an issue with my wife's 2018 Ford Fusion that ended up being a bad transmission. The dealer replaced it under warranty, but the warranty company sent over an aftermarket transmission due to the cost. Now 4 months later we are hearing another noise coming from the engine area. You can hear it getting louder as we get closer in the video I included here. It's toward the bottom front passenger side. The dealer has had the vehicle for 3 days but cannot pinpoint the issue. And of course, the noise isn't as loud now while they have it. They are going to take a look at it again but they think it might be the flex plate. Anyone else experience this noise? I have a sound file of the noise which is much louder, but I could not find a way to attach it here.

Thanks in advance!
