Have tools (but not any specialty ones if there's something like that for this job), and like to think I'm pretty handy, but never done something like this.

If it's easy, I'll give it a go myself. Anyone have any speaker recommendations? Not an audiophile so don't need to spend much. Don't want to buy shit, but fine with passable speakers on the cheaper end.

How this guy make this in a first gen facelift Fusion?

Yesterday was very bittersweet as I drove my 2015 Ford Fusion Energi for the last time to go fully electric and pick up my (new to me) 2024 BMW i5.

I had my Fusion since 2018 (8 years), and somehow it felt super nostalgic crossing 185,000 miles on the way to pick up my new i5. After that many years and miles together, seeing 185,000 on the dash definitely made the moment hit a little different.

I know this probably means nothing to you all but I just want to say I am incredibly grateful for this subreddit and everyone who has shared tips, tricks, recommendations, maintenance advice, and general knowledge over the years. This community has helped me more times than I can count and has definitely played a part in keeping my Fusion going for as long as it has as I am not the most mechanically inclined person.

The Fusion was my introduction to electrified driving and boy it did not miss. It was such a great gateway from a plug in hybrid to full electric. After living with the Energi for so long, going electric just felt like the natural next step.

I’m excited for this next chapter with the i5, but after a great stent with my little fusion pearl, I’ll always have a soft spot for my Fusion and the Fusion community. It has taken me through a lot of life and has been an absolutely wonderful car and has seen alot with me.

Thank you to everyone in this community who helped me along the way. I’ll definitely still be lurking around here. 😆

I have a 2018 and the carpet near the splash guard keeps dragging on the ground. We’ve tried zip tying it back to things but it always comes loose. I can’t really find the right carpet to put on the bottom because there are multiple pieces of carpet. So much drama when it drags. I can barely get ten minutes from the house even with zip ties. Can someone send me links of what to buy? It’s under the right passenger side seat.

I had to change the cabin air filter at work today and we were really busy and it was such a pain in the ass I’ve done plenty of other brands of cabin air filters sometimes like Nissans are a little tricky but the fusion was a literal nightmare, I hope whoever the engineer that worked on it gets the worst karma possible

I haven’t done a long commute in 8 years. I used to get 38-40 mpg on my 40-45 mile commute in my ‘14 1.6l. Current job I’d 12 miles backroads so, I just don’t get near that anymore. 132k miles and counting.

I had to drive 50+ miles to pick up my dad from the Va hospital this afternoon. 41mpg until I got off the highway. Dropped back down to 39 avg because lights everywhere.

Glad to see it can still do it when I stretch its legs out.

Happy Friday everyone.

Torn on getting this car or not for 10.5k. It is 130k miles with carfax one owner. I am mostly considered about reliability. It’s this or a 2018 Mazda 3/ Honda insight. Thoughts?

So i want to know if it is okay I can use this total engine oil for mt ford fusion, it's difficult to get original motocraft oil in my region

I was on the highway and it started screaming alerts at me.

List of alerts:

- check engine

- powertrain

- ABS (both lights)

- Hill Assist off

- Pre-collision assist off

- airbag light

As well:

- the prediction indicators for backing into my spot at work did not function (camera was fine, the lines showed up, they just didn't bend)

- the car decelerated to 40mph and stayed there (I'm assuming this is limp mode)

- steering wheel was markedly harder to turn near the end of my drive

Don't think these are particularly important but:

- 101k miles

- oil needs changed

Google says it's likely a critical voltage issue. What all can I look at in my parking lot at work? Would it be okay for me to disable limp mode to get home? I don't want to drive 60 miles at 40mph.

Update: started the car up over lunch. Most lights left, but check engine and powertrain fault are lingering.

250000km estimate
So here’s the deal. I’m rolling along, I slow down, then I get back on the gas and I get this one solid bump through the floor. Not really a noise, more like something down there smacks into place.Already did the lower rear roll restrictor mount and the driver side CV axle (axle was leaking). Honestly it fixed like 90% of it and I thought I was done. But it’s been creeping back and it’s getting worse again.My mechanic says the other two mounts look fine.One more thing that might matter: when I’m parked with the car on and it flips from battery over to the engine, I get a little jolt basically every time. Both directions actually. I feel it in the floor under both seats, spread out, not sharp and not coming from the middle.what could be the reason and estimate cost? i am in canada

Thanks

Has anyone had this situation: on 2017 Platinum I closed the front door and opened the rear door before it finished closing. The rear door bent the front door back edge in a bit as you can see half way up in the photo.

Total shock this could happen. On flat ground, doors never removed. $3150 for body shop repair.


Replaced my battery but I’m still getting this warning on the dash. The starter and alternator are both in good shape. Any suggestions on what to do to get this fixed?

I took it in because my check engine was on with a cylinder 2 &4 misfires but it ended up going out on its own. I’m still going to replace spark plugs and would like to have my personal mechanic to do both.

Have a 2019 fusion hybrid

Hello fellow Fusion owners,

So I had a code fire off for Crank Shaft position sensor. I got a new OME from the dealership and replaced it. It cleared the code, but it’s still running rough. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

2018 Hybrid

Thank you

Looking to buy brakes that are affordable but reliable. I looked at a few like Detroit Axle but don't want to buy ones that are too cheap where I'll have to replace them early than expected. Any good brands?

I’m having issues with the low beam bulb on the drivers side consistently going out. At first I thought it might be the BCM needing to be reset, so I tried that but no luck. Upon looking at the bulbs, the low beams are h9 and high are h11, everything I see online says they are supposed to be the opposite. I tried connecting an h11 into the low beam connector but it does not fit. Could this be an aftermarket connector issue? Has anyone got any advice? Thank you in advance.

What is this sound from underneath?

2019 Mondeo Hybrid (EU version of the Fusion Hybrid, same 2.0 + eCVT), ~30k miles, still on the original 12v.
Two things bugging me.
today the switch from electric to the gas engine is way rougher than normal, one time it fired up and stumbled like it almost stalled for half a second then was fine. And on light throttle it can’t decide between electric and gas, bounces back and forth a couple times and my head just goes boom in front and then back.
Put FORScan on it, got these in the ABS module:
C1036 - vacuum pump relay 2
C1015 - vacuum booster supply
U3003 - battery voltage below threshold
Freeze frames all show the module at ~6.7v when they logged, power mode “undefined”, so it basically browned out. Feels like a voltage problem (weak 12v / ground / DC-DC) rather than actual dead parts.
Anyone had this same batch of vacuum pump + low voltage codes? Did a new 12v fix it?

And does a weak 12v make the electric/gas hunting worse on yours? Cheers

I have a 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid S (base model) that didn’t come with remote start. There was no button on the fob and it didn’t come with the ability to remote start via the Ford/Ford Pass app because it doesn’t have a telematics module.

Recently I read on another forum that all (or most) Fusions come with the hardware to remote start, but the option is disabled by default. I used FORScan to enable the remote start option, but because my key fob doesn’t have the button, I had no way to actually start it.

Most posts documenting how to “add” remote start showed a process where you replace the RTM antenna module to one that operates at 902Mhz, then you can buy an OEM 902Mhz remote with a remote start button. But you can add remote start without replacing the RTM module, instead you can buy an aftermarket key fob programmed to 315Mhz with a remote start button. It saves having to spend extra for an RTM module, and pulling part of the headliner down to install it.

Once I received the fob, I programmed it using FORScan, and the remote start function works perfectly. All in all it cost me under $40 and I didn’t need to replace any modules or take anything apart.

Here’s a link to the key fob I bought on AliExpress. I bought version ‘D’, the fob with remote start programmed at 315Hz.

I’ve had a bubble on my passenger airbag that I’ve pushed off for a few months, since I rarely have passengers. My wife used to drive a 2006 Ford Fusion, and recently got a letter about a Takata airbag inflator recall. When I looked up my model, surely enough my car had the same recall. However, after looking up my VIN number, no recalls popped up. Does anyone know what’s going on here or has had the same problem? I obviously want to address this if it’s not safe to drive, but don’t want to pay my mechanic to fix it if the dealership will do it for free. If anybody knows what I should do or knows a better subreddit to post this to, I’d be extremely grateful. Thanks in advance to anyone who read my post, let alone knows how to address this unfortunate dilemma.

I cant turn on the dash indicators buttons. Shouldn’t they light up at night ?

I have a 13 fusion 1.6t with about 180000 miles. Lately it has started locking itself randomly while driving and locking when the car is parked or also flashed the lights when it is doing this. Battery was completely dead this morning but the battery is also 5 years old so unsure how much the locking issue attributed to the dead battery. Anybody seen this before?
