Locked up

My steering wheel on 2016 Ford fusion just locked up for apparently no reason. Anyone else ever dealt with this?

My 2020 fusion rpm fluctuates while maintaining speed

So, like the title says, my rpm fluctuates while maintaining speed, and I’m planning to get it looked at, I’ve just been a bit busy… I was wondering if a transmission flush or fluid change would help with this? Also it takes a while to shift from 1st to 2nd gear and from 2nd to 3rd gear, but I think I’ve heard that that’s somewhat common due to the build quality of Ford transmissions or something, I forget exactly.

Reprogram transmission

Hey everyone. I have a 2012 SEL 2.5. I’m replacing the transmission, I’m told after I do so it needs to be reprogrammed. Is this something I can do through forscan? Or will I need to go to a dealership?

Do I need to replace the headlight?

I have a 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid. On my driver's side headlight, the daytime running light works fine and is always on, but neither the dim or bright bulbs work. I've tried to replace the bulbs with the bulbs that are recommended for some 2019 Ford Fusions, but apparently I have special LED headlights that can't be replaced. The only solution is to replace the whole headlight assembly at a cost of $1000 minimum, and money is very tight for me. Am I stuck, or is there another way? I do rideshare driving, and I need to renew my inspection in a week, so it is becoming rather urgent that I correct this issue.

For full disclosure, I was in a minor car accident in spring of last year with some slight damage to my front driver's side. However, beyond a couple small cracks in the front bumper cover and in the grille as well as some slight displacement of panels in the front, the car seems to be aesthetically and structurally fine. I've given probably more than a thousand rides in the last year, and not once has a passenger commented on the damage.

Anyway, the headlight worked fine for months after the accident until August when we had some torrential rains here. I'm not sure if it was just a coincidence or not, but after having rain cascading on my car all night and driving through some standing water on the main roads that was borderline too deep to drive through (even parts of the interstates were nearly impassable), my headlight flickered a bit later that evening before finally going out, and it's been out since then. Thankfully the running light keeps it looking somewhat acceptable, but I really need to get this fixed for inspection and safety purposes. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Brake fluid low notification

My fusion 2012 sport 3.5 had a notification with brake fluid low level. When I checked the engine bay it's empty 💀

What could be the cost of this and how much in estimate will it be?

Hard shift going into 3rd gear

I have a 2020 ford fusion SE AWD. Engine is a 4-cyl ecoboost turbo 2.0 L. I’ve noticed that it shifts hard into 3rd gear more often than not. There is a slight delay in the shift and it jerks forward. This only happens going into 3rd. I’ve had the transmission fluid changed as well as the valve body replaced but it’s still doing it. Any ideas what it could be?

My 2015 Fusion went reverse when it was in drive 😭

I turned my engine on and the yellow check engine light was on. I had my park brake up when I switched to Drive but then put it back in Park to put down my park brake. Switched to Drive again and it went in reverse. I put it in Park again and turned off the engine. Turned it back on and the yellow light was gone and everything was working fine.

Thinking of buying 2015 Fusion SE

I'm in the market for a car under 10k and I found a deal for a fusion with cosmetic dents. 2.0L engine and EcoBoost which apparently are both bad?? I dunno which is why I'm here. $9900, clean title, 47000 miles. Should I buy it or will it just be ruined at 100k? Thanks in advance

Headlight issue

2015 Ford fusion - have replaced the headlights multiple times and thought I have always been able to see both patterns. I had noticed while driving that the left light seems to be angled off to the right. I took the bulb out and put back in and pretty sure it’s in correctly. Could something have happened to the projector?

2010 fusion roof rack needed

So I just bought a 2010 ford fusion for a great price from my wifes grandpa who can no longer drive and since I couldn't justify three vehicles I had to sell my Volvo SUV. I do a lot of camping and need as much storage space as possible so I'm in need of a good quality roof rack. I bought a generic roof rack off eBay and it was laughable. I wouldn't trust it driving to the end of my neighborhood. So I'm looking for recommendations on a sturdy roof rack. Would anyone have any they'd like to suggest?

AC blower motor

I have a 19 hybrid SE with 61k miles. This morning the blower for the AC didn’t come on but I felt cold air come through the vents when I was driving so the AC works fine. I parked and the car sat for an hour. Went to drive it again and the blower works just fine… a software glitch perhaps? Anything I should worry about? Btw it was the first time it’s happened.

Fuel consumption

Hello fusioners,

I own a 2017 ford fusion titanium 2.0 ecoboost. My fuel tank will only go for approx 400-450 in a best case scenario my way to work is 25 kms almost highway with a moderate traffic.

Is it normal ? I own a 2017 explorer which is a v6 and the fuel consumption is almost the same.

Thanks Edit: unit is km no mile sorry

Touch screen update for 2010 SES

Hi redditors, I was wondering If someone has experience replacing the head unit, with a touch screen with carplay/android auto, without affecting the original Sony speakers and the steering wheel controls, I saw this on eBay but no clue if is a good idea, or is just better to get the double din adapter and get a new head unit, also the wiring I don't want to mess with it, would love something that is plug n play, a recommended kit, any help, hint, would be appreciated. Thx

What's the best move for selling my 2016? Engine is shot.

So my 2016 Ford Fusion has been great to me, but as of December the engine took a dive and it's not worth repairing due to needing a brand new engine for around 4.5-5k. I was curious if anyone on this board could help me make some educated decisions on what would be the best way to get money for it. I know it won't be much, but I am moving out of the area I'm located in, in about 30 days. It has 123k miles on it and it's never had an issue before minus the brake line which was an open recall that has been fixed. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Best Fusion models between 2018-2020?

My current girl is getting old, 2011 SE manual with 250k KM.

The market in my area is pretty decent for Fusions, $16k-$22k CAD for pre-owned with KM’s ranging from 30k-60k.

I know there’s a few models with coolant intrusion and other issues, but I don’t recall which ones to avoid when looking.

What’s everyone’s experience with which models are the most reliable?

Low engine oil pressure

I drive a 2020 ford fusion and it started popping up a low engine oil pressure alert on my dash. I can’t get in to the dealership for a few weeks, so will not be driving it. I guess my question is, what would be causing this and are all the outcomes bad?

Coolant Temperature

My car hit me with this light and put my car into limp mode. Pulled over and got it towed back. Coolant was low so I filled it back up but the light is still on after a day of rest.

Is this a sensor malfunction or potentially thermostat? 1.5L engine

Considering buying a 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid SEL 2.0 Liter

I went to look at it today and I almost got it. However, I called my mechanic last minute and he said that the 2.0 liter engines commonly have head gasket leaks after 100,000 miles. It has 83,000 miles on it currently. He did say he doesn’t like hybrids that much so there may be a bit of a bias. I was hoping to get some more opinions. It has been in an accident and one of the tire pressure sensors is out on it and didn’t find that out till I got there.
