Hello all, just bought a 17 SE 1.5L a few months ago and hit 100K on it this morning. This same morning, I noticed some of the dreaded white smoke from the exhaust area immediately following a cold start. In addition, the orange wrench light has been popping on more and more lately, including this morning.
The light doesn’t throw any codes that my reader can read, so I assume it’s something I can only see with Forscan (which I don’t have the equipment for).
Assuming it is the coolant intrusion, is my best option to sell it to Carvana or something before it gets worse and more noticable?
I’ve also seen people mention tablets you can put in the coolant reservoir…. Any luck with these?
Thanks!

Good Afternoon, Fusion Owners.

I am the owner of a 2019 ford fusion SE with the 1.5 eco in it, I’m currently at 123,655 miles in the car and in the last 500 miles the Alternator, Serpentine Belt and the Water Pump where replaced due to a noise complaint I’ve brought up to my local ford dealer, fast forward to Monday I get the call that the car is ready. I’ve put on 300 miles since I’ve picked it up, it drives really nice and quiet, no complaints anymore besides one thing… when I go to turn off the air conditioning the vents make this huumm noise that lasts seconds to less. What could this be? Im not really worried about it, rather than getting an idea of what could be going on AC is ice cold, heat is well… hot… any suggestions whether or not what to tell ford when I take it in for an oil change at 124k? Thank you all.

It seems like I only see black fusions anymore. I may be looking because I own a black fusion, but it seems like the majority of them that I see on the road are black.

Is it just me?????

So about a week ago I hit a piece of a log after a bad storm. I had no way to avoid it. Since then I am fairly certain the rack and pinion were severely damaged. All the symptoms seem to point to that based on past experiences. I called a few local shops and the best quote I got was around $1700. Does that seem about right?

Hello, fellow car enthusiasts. I have a 2019 Ford Fusion SE. A known recall is coolant leak into engine. I had the dealer fix this 5+ years ago. A couple months ago, the engine light went on. A month or two later, the powertrain wrench light went on, and then the overheating light. This led to loss of power to the point of I couldn't go more than around 5 mph. Ford called me, because my app shows them my warnings. I went to the dealer, and they said the only fix is a new engine for $12,000. I told them there is no way that is happening. I had a local mechanic look at it, and he said a spark plug was broken and was replaced. They also did pressure tests on the coolant system and others, and they said it was good. Question: Do I need to worry about this due to a coolant leak into the engine being an issue, or should I be good? I am angry and confused by the dealership asking for me to pay half of what I paid for the car if all it needed was a spark plug.

Good afternoon, I am interested in buying a Ford Fusion as a car for every day, please tell me which years of manufacture and engines are better to buy, and which ones are better not to buy

I'm not sure what happened but last month I noticed that my driver side on my vehicle has stopped blowing hot air and only the passenger side does. It has dual climate and I saw a post about replacing the driver side blend door actuator and I just did that to no avail. I'm not sure if Im missing a step somewhere along the way or if theres another way I can troubleshoot/ fix the issue. I have a newborn and the car gets too hot for comfort and closing the left vents just blows that heat into the right side. Any ideas on what I can do?

Hi all, I have a 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid with about 91,000 miles.

Over the past month, my check engine light has come on twice. The first time it stayed on for around 3 days and then disappeared on its own. A few weeks later, it came back and again stayed on for about 3 days before going away.

I scanned it while the light was on and the only code was P013A. The car has been driving normally with no noticeable issues.

Has anyone with a Fusion Hybrid experienced this intermittent P013A code? What ended up being the cause, and did you have to replace anything?

Also, I'm at ~90k miles and, as far as I know, the transmission fluid has never been changed. Would you recommend changing the eCVT transmission fluid now? Should I just do a drain-and-fill and avoid a flush?

Thanks!

I recently bought a 2019 Ford Fusion, and it's been a nice car, I love the way it drives, and a huge upgrade from the beat up van I used to drive.

However, it seems to turn itself on in the morning. As in, with seemingly no input, the engine will start itself. It will also turn itself off eventually. Originally, I didn't believe this since the person who reported it to me was my crazy sister, but I recently verified that, yes, it turns itself on even when the keys are in a controlled environment and not being touched. Furthermore, I am unaware of a remote start feature.

I would like to know what could be causing this, if I need to call Ford, the dealership, or if I can fix this on my own. It's not as urgent of a problem since I park outside so I'm not concerned about fumes. Still, I would like to get this fixed sooner rather than later.

Please let me know if you need any information, any pictures of anything, any other subreddits that may be more on topic/helpful for this regard, etc. Thanks in advance.
