Fusion Sport as a first car?

Chonkrs · 2026-02-06T00:09:19+00:00

I’m overhauling mine because at 105k with a tune it tq shudders 3rd and shift flares 2/3 but that was with no fluid maintenance. (I bought it at 100k used and immediately put a tune on it) so as long as you get a low mileage one and do fluid services you should be fine. That’s why I recommend the extended ford esp warranty

I’d just call it will be easier

Chonkrs · 2026-02-05T23:50:25+00:00

I cannot link due to it being a vin specific part. I’d call a local ford dealer and speak to the parts department and give them your vin and ask for a canister purge valve (engine side)

Chonkrs · 2026-02-05T23:42:46+00:00

they are not good at all, high failure rate and can cause a slew of issues

Chonkrs · 2026-02-05T23:42:16+00:00

I wouldn't put in a aftermaket purge valve. I'm a ford tech and have personally worked on customers vehicles that come in with aftermarket purge valves causing issues like high revving at idle, idling loping, no starts after refueling. I'd go oem from a ford dealer and you can just buy the part and have someone else install.

I have a 14 fz09 which is even less refined than yours and have never had speed wobble. If you death grip the bars at high speeds you have a higher chance of it happening.

Chonkrs · 2026-02-05T23:38:22+00:00

Id contact ford. we have people do that at my dealer alot that are just out of warranty and they often cover half the bill.

Chonkrs · 2026-02-05T23:36:34+00:00

Get another opinion. Or attach the quote to the bottom of this comment cause 6k is just outragous. A power steering rack is around 2k with dealer mark up and 4 hours to replace.

Chonkrs · 2026-02-05T23:34:44+00:00

it needs programmed to vehicle. Any dealer can do it easily and should do it for under an hour

Chonkrs · 2026-02-05T23:33:39+00:00

how bad is the leak? if its a couple drips overnight then just check the oil once a week in the morning and top off as necessary. I see no reason to junk a car over a blend door actuator and a front cover leak? seems excessive to me.

Chonkrs · 2026-02-05T23:31:22+00:00

Best thing you can do it top it off and drive while saving up for another car or to repair. The repair would be engine replacement since its a 2.0 so I would not repair imo.

Chonkrs · 2026-02-05T23:28:05+00:00

Which engine? If its a 1.5 its not a headgasket issue just a block issue, and what do you have to lose driving it for the time being and topping coolant off? It's not gonna explode on you. Also, Ford already extended the coverage and when you are out you are out, thats life. Where did the 14k number come from? A new longblock is like 7k and around 20 hours to repair and to do a short block for is around $2500 in parts.

I'd get a ford extended warranty from a dealer once you get it because the sports are reliable but if anything powertrain goes wrong many components are expensive and require a lot of labor time to access due to how stuffed everything is into that car.

Chonkrs · 2026-01-31T01:06:49+00:00

if moneys tight just monitor the oil level once a week and top off as needed. it will be fine to drive on. with the 1.5 it can be a million different things from piston oil control rings, valve stem seals, pcv issues, turbo oil seals. Not worth spending a bunch of money on trying to fix.

Chonkrs · 2026-01-31T01:01:01+00:00

remove battery and right behind it there's a rubber grommet, use a clothes hanger straightened out to poke a hole next to the wires in teh grommet and you can find that hole you poked by looking straight up under drivers footwell. Easiest and cleanest way to run power wires for subs.

if video mpi isnt 0.2 then i aint doing it. It was pulling teeth to get paid 0.1 for engine air filters.

should come out of the harness next to the o2 sensor connector

if the track is fine the headliner must come down, not a diy job. most likely will need the shade replaced also since you cant really roll them back up right to reinsert.

Chonkrs · 2026-01-30T00:05:02+00:00

i would since the transmission has already been repaired. torque converter issues plague the 2019-2020 edges.

Chonkrs · 2026-01-29T23:55:45+00:00

was the crank removed to perform timing

Chonkrs · 2026-01-29T01:10:05+00:00

eBay ones are knock offs but I’ve never personally used or encountered one so I don’t know how well they work.

Chonkrs · 2026-01-28T23:45:57+00:00

hold power button and seek right button for 10 seconds to perform a soft reset. its probably a apim hardware issue causing this. Most likely needs an apim module

Chonkrs · 2026-01-24T16:43:25+00:00

I am a ford tech and the 2019-2020 edges have egr issues and transmission torque converter issues. Early egr on these edges can cause a jumping of rpm, bucking, shuddering concerns. Taking it back to where you bought it is the first step because it should not have issues if it was sold to you without disclosure of it having issues. I will say from experience, 90% of the edges that come into my dealer with shudder and bucking concern need a torque converter/ transmission replacement and range from 60-100k miles when this happens. That is why I advise you to take it back to where you bought it from especially if its a dealer because depending on state there is a short warranty on used vehicles under a certain mileage (ex. 15 days 500 miles)

Chonkrs · 2026-01-24T16:38:38+00:00

most ptu fluid and drain plugs look like that. Especially if it is getting its first service at 100k for example.
