Yesterday, I purchased a 2018 Fusion Titanium from Carmax for my 24 year old autistic son. He’s already in love with it. It has 52,000 miles on it. The problem is the check engine light came on yesterday afternoon and Autozone’s diagnostic said cylinder 1 is misfiring. The light was off this morning and hasn’t come back on.

I’ve heard about the coolant intrusion issue, and I advised my son to return the car, but he REALLY wants to keep it and see if Carmax will fix it. I do know about Carmax’s 10 day return guarantee and 30 day warranty. I’m calling the service department in the morning. Any special advice?

I have a 2013 ford fusion SE 2.5 and wondering what gas mileage y’all get. I get about two weeks depending on how much I drive which is to work and back most days but I average 250-300 every time I fill up.

What about you?

I recently installed a dash cam in my 2020 fusion. Unfortunately the fuse I tapped to provide power appears to have been a bad choice. It is only powered when the ignition is on, which is what I wanted. However the engine automatic shut off at traffic lights causes the camera to reboot every time the engine starts back up. Can anyone identify a better circuit for me to tap? Or better yet, tell me a way to permanently shut off that damned auto-stop feature? TIA

Cannot find info online for the life of me that has guides on how to do it. Im relatively new to working on vehicles (only replaces basic things, Starters, sparkplugs, stuff like that). Would it be worth just paying someone or can I do it myself?

Hey guys, a few days ago I test-drove a 2017 Ford Fusion Energi Titanium with 105,000 miles. It was listed for $13,500 which is lower than what we’ve found in our area. It was also in GREAT condition, even before the dealer’s detailing. It had complete service records and had all the upgrades we wanted. We noticed the EV modes were “unavailable” and the battery percentage went up and down VERY fast when driving (Fifteen or more percent gained braking from 40mph). I’ll add that the vehicle still got 40+ mpg on our drives.

When they got to the inspection, they found out “the battery’s lifespan is expired”. They offered the car to us as-is for $7,500.
Shopping around for replacement batteries, I found a local mechanic that would replace it for $4000 plus $500 labor. Their replacement batteries are remanufactured and have 10-13 miles of range, plus a 12 month warranty.
We are planning on getting a pre-purchase inspection, and are also looking at aftermarket powertrain warranties.

Opinions? Should I buy this car and replace the battery or wait for better options? I absolutely need the car within two months, but we can wait to see if any others come up.

Hello everyone. I recently purchased a Sync 1 to Sync 3 kit for my 2017 Ford Fusion SE. This kit was purchased off of eBay and was pre-programmed with my VIN. Everything works great except I hear no audio from my phone when I connect it via phone call, BT audio, and Android audio. I have normal function with regular radio, however no sound with anything to do with my phone. I was instructed by the seller to change the first line of the ACM module to 9800 instead of 5800, which had no effect. I have also tried disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes and removing fuses 32 and 33. I am very frustrated as this is my main source of audio, and I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations. Thank you!

I have a 2012 Fusion Sport. I had it overheat one summer while idling outside. I took it in to get fixed. On hotter days the temp gauge will go up when idling. Ive taken it in several times and they can't find the issue. I am reminded every summer since when I have my first idle on a hot day. It does not do this on cool days. And if I see the temp gauge go up, even when its almost maxed, I will start driving and it will come down, in some cases almost immediately. I've been wondering if this could be as simple as a stuck thermostat issue? That would be the dream.

Hi guys. I’m looking to buy a 2016 ford fusion 2.5L with 127K miles. Is this worth the purchase? Are these type of cars reliable and last a long time?

I really don’t want to make a dumb purchase. Thank you!!!
