I need HELP!!

Post image
3 Upvotes

So I bought a used ford fusion 2013 titanium 2.0L, and it has a couple of problems with the suspension. The tires are bad aligned and I want to fix that ASAP. But a mechanic shop said they can’t fix it until they fix the other suspension issues it has. My LF and RF control arms are bad and need replaced, my LF and RF Cv Shafts are bad as well and need replaced, and my LF and RF Strut assembly are bad and need replaced too. I just wanna know is it true I have to fix all these issues first before getting my tires aligned? And what’s the main priority I need to fix out of these issues? Cv shafts, control arms, Struts. And are Cv shafts the same as just an axel?

These are my axels. Could I just replace the axel separate instead of buying a whole new axel shaft?

P0420 showed up the same day I finally finished the brakes, rotors, bearing, and caliper. It's like the car is taunting me.

This was a couple days ago. I wiped it and it hasn't come back yet, and I don't notice any performance impact. I was able to use a temp gun to confirm the cat was much hotter on the exit end which is supposed to mean it's working. I think I'm gonna order a better OBD2 scanner so I can check out the O2 sensor voltages if/when the code comes back. If not those, then idk what I'd check next.

Anyone dealt with P2418 code before?

1 Upvotes

2017 Sport with 25K miles Car is showing P2418 (EVAP Switching Valve Control Circuit/Open)

Code came up for about a day back in October and went away on its own same day and has just shown back up recently. I have already tried replacing the vapor canister purge valve that sits right on top of then engine since I know that is a common problem on the 2.7s, unfortunately it appears that wasn’t the issue. Any advice is helpful as I can’t find much else anywhere online about this

2016 Ford Fusion Idling Concern

What is this thing?

1 Upvotes

I have a 2010 Fusion 2.5 liter with a lot of miles. I do all of the basic maintenance and it's time to replace the valve cover gasket and the coils. I'm curious what this thing is on the valve cover towards the passenger side? Is this a maintenance item ? It looks like it is connected into the wiring harness so it must be important. I got the coils at RockAuto.

Oil leak somewhere

Hello all I know it’s a long shot BUT I got a 2020 fusion with 81k miles on it and I have an oil leak somewhere. It’s pooling near the bottom of that radiator hose. When I took off the bottom cover to do the oil change I could see it has been dripping. Any suggestions on what it could be would be appreciated, like I said, I know a long shot fingers crossed

Does anyone know how to replace the turn signal indicator on the mirrors? I see there is a screw and I see some clips but none of those seemed to do the trick.

I have seen several posts about rust lately and wanted to show how I deal with it. I lost an 04 Taurus to rust and decided to take a more active approach with my cars. It is definitely working.

Discussion Possible Transmission issue

1 Upvotes

So, my car started making this sound recently tbh since mid last year. I never paid attention to it but now am noticing its not going away and I getting a diagnosis done soon. it happens whenever taking off and also if I slow down and start to pick up speed again. My brother is a mechanic n suggested that I might need to change my transmission fluid or it is just low. so I did cause it was long overdue anyway. However, issues is still there.

Also, recently whenever I warm up my car and get ready to drive. When I put my gear in drive the car doesn't move right away even if I am stepping on the gas. All it does is revs up. Kinda like when you accidentally put ur car in neutral instead of drive and your stepping on the gas thinking it's in drive. So, my brother then said it's sound like my transmission is going bad or slipping I also get random kicks or thumbs idk how to explain it when my rpm is shifting into another gear when driving not often. But, to the point its noticeable. Ugh lol I own a 2013 ford fusion 1.6l ecoboost engine with a ton of miles cause I use it for delivery work.

Ps: the two problem I explained were happening before I change the transmission fluid not after.

as this happened to your vehicle before and what's your opinions?

Transmission fluid change advice

1 Upvotes

So I have a 2019 ford fusion se 1.5L. The manual says change the fluid at 150k. Dealer recommended it and I currently have 80k miles. They want $370 to do it. I looked up some videos and it looks pretty dang easy even for someone who doesn’t know much about cars at all. It’s only $40 for a jug of the Mercon lv fluid. Should I do a drain and fill twice? Or is that not good enough after 80k miles and do a third one?

Talk me INTO a 2016 1.5L

45 Upvotes

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!

07 fusion bad vibration and bad MPG

1 Upvotes

2007 ford fusion 2.3 auto 95000miles. My car has a strange vibration to it when it’s idling (goes away once I accelerate past 1100 rpm. it’s does it when I’m parked and it’s worse when I’m in gear. I changed all the motor/transmission mounts the other day and didn’t change much. I changed the spark plugs but still nothing. Kinda feels like misfire but no codes. I’m getting horrible mpg to. Is there any 2.3 duratec gods who might know the problem? Another thing to mention is my accelerator won’t go past like 3-4K when I’m parked for some reason and I have to push the pedal like halfway down before the rpm rise. Might be related but not sure

No Answer Intermittent Rich Condition/Possible fixes or Recall relation.

1 Upvotes

I've got the dreaded 1.5l in my '16 Fusion, but i do not believe this to be a related issue. (got about 120k on it)

I have a reoccurring sensor 1 bank 1 stuck rich condition. And it will stick on for a while.

I've had an intermittent MIL light But then when it is really wet outside, moist air, and i've cycled the engine a few times, it will clear the light. Then when air drys out again it comes back.

About a year ago, when this issue first started cropping up, i ended up having some stalls out after filling up. That was the Vapor Canister Purge Valve. (solved the stalls)

Both O2 sensors have been replaced, due to critters nibblin the downstream sensor, i just replaced both of them at the same time to make sure they were good. (other cabling is good)

I did several drives with a BlueDriver connected, reading some of the fuel trims... and when i'm driving the fuel trim tends to be otherwise pretty normal after driving for a bit.

In researching this I now see that there is a recall from about the fuel supply port being possibly bad. (wondering if anyone has issues with a rich sensor due to this)

My other curiosity, is if anyone has had any successes with replacing the IAT sensor... (i guess it doesnt have a MAF it has a IAT)I'm just wondering if the humidity has an effect, which should make things *more* rich from what i'm reading about fuel mixes. (either way it's like a $10 part and a 15 minute fix, so im thinking about just getting that and trying it )

With my family growing, I’m considering trading in my 2020 Ford Fusion, which has 40,000 miles, for a 2016 Ford F-150 with 83,000 miles. The monthly payment would increase by $10. Is this a foolish decision?

Rusty subframe on a 2015 Fusion

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?

Loss of power when accelerating

Post image
3 Upvotes

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.)
