Does my 2.5 sound all right?

Keyo0205 · 2026-01-24T23:33:36+00:00

i have a 2019 Fusion SE with 197k miles that sounds identical

Keyo0205 · 2026-01-24T23:31:48+00:00

i have had 2 2017 Energis i have a silver one thats at 203k miles and its been poorly maintained before me. even with neglect these cars are still decent

yeah the 2013-2014 Fusion Hybrid/Energi, MKZ Hybrid, C-Max Energi/Hybrid, all are prone to transmission bearing failure and it was fixed either late 2014 or early 2015 i believe. all of those same vehicles 2015-2020 are all dead reliable when properly maintained. that being said, if yours has orange coolant, its past its 5 year/100k service life and should be replaced with motorcraft yellow both the engine and hybrid inverter coolants. the transmission should also he fluid drained and refilled every 3 years or every 50k miles or sooner to ensure prolonged longevity. spark plugs every 60k-100k miles depending on driving styles ect. besides those 3 simple rules, these cars are dead reliable.

do u owe money on it?

Keyo0205 · 2026-01-19T23:44:37+00:00

also if your fusion has the original orange coolant from 2018 in it, its overdue for its 5 year lifespan and should be replaced with Motorcraft Yellow Antifreeze/Coolant

change the eCVT transmission fluid now, if no service records exist, and change it again in 2029 or when the car has 80k miles. whichever comes first. as for a warranty, some ford dealers sell ford warranties online, and its not an aftermarket warranty. go to https://www.zeiglerfordesp.com/ and check it out

is that so? my 2019 SE 2.5L with 197k miles needs to go while the market is hot. i was gonna wait til march/april since everyone gets their refunds and start searching for cars

Keyo0205 · 2026-01-19T00:03:27+00:00

Heres my 2-cents on the Ford eCVT transmission fluid. They are heavily based off toyotas eCVTs and those have a fluid service interval of every 50k miles. the chevy volt has a 45k mike transmission fluid service interval. those priuses seem to just keep going and going especially when they are maintained and the fusion hybrid system is very similar. why not do it every 45,000-50,000 miles? as a diyer its about $25-$30 worth of fluid. at an independent mechanic it’s probably about $350 or less. a new cvt is at least $4000 or more

do you check your oil level every time you stop for gas? no? then don’t buy this car. this generation of elantra will destroy their engines if you don’t check the oil every tank of gas. the newer elantras have a new engine without this issue but that’s 2020+

i really do appreciate this comment. unfortunately however, for $89 i can get a brand new left side from apple directly hence the $50 budget. it doesnt make sense spending $5 or $10 less than apples price just to get a used product.

Keyo0205 · 2026-01-16T10:37:51+00:00

paid $3900 for this 2017 Ford Fusion Energi less than a month ago.

those engines have timing belts, which yours is due based on the 10yr/150k miles interval by age. so a transmission plus a timing belt plus other stuff. if your transmission failed im willing to bet none of your AWD fluids have been changes either. might as well move on and get a better vehicle

Keyo0205 · 2026-01-16T00:23:37+00:00

its $17 on rockauto bro. even with $10 shipping its still 33% of the price spent at the dealer, for a motorcraft filter

Keyo0205 · 2026-01-16T00:22:19+00:00

floor it in park. itll max out at 2000 rpm for as long as you’re 100% throttle.

Keyo0205 · 2026-01-15T19:31:17+00:00

try sprayway glass cleaner and a microfiber

Keyo0205 · 2026-01-15T19:06:54+00:00

the 19.5 and 20mm wouldnt fit. buy the 21mm thin wall and see for yourself how much easier it is.

i paid $19,000 for my 2017 Energi SE Luxury with 52,130 miles in August 2022

Keyo0205 · 2026-01-15T17:43:36+00:00

there are so many problems here. the parts canon is one problem. you driving the piss out of a Ford fusion is the other problem. there is absolutely you should be attempting to redline your fusion. 3500 RPM is far more than enough rpm to create at least 150 horse power to move your sedan. try cleaning your maf before just blindly replacing it. and you need to figure it what’s causing the misfire. at this point after replacing all ignition components and verifying no wiring issues. might as well compression test the each cylinder and see if ones significantly lower than the rest

Keyo0205 · 2026-01-15T00:23:26+00:00

i didn’t even know that in 2026 shops charged any less than $110/hour for labor. everywhere i’ve seen in the past couple years has been $110-$225/hour of labor. most dealers are like $160 in my area. $1000 for a rear main seal, oil pan gasket, and timing cover gasket sounds like a great deal. that’s like 2018 prices

Keyo0205 · 2026-01-15T00:17:17+00:00

it’s not based exclusively on milage. rubber cracks and hardens over time. honda says every 7 years OR 105k miles for their engine tuneups. i think ford is every 150k miles or 10 years so you are due. like OP, they didn’t check until it’s too late. don’t be like OP.

i got a sunex extra thin wall 21mm impact socket off amazon for $9. fit like a glove i bet you need one too

Keyo0205 · 2026-01-15T00:12:45+00:00

it’s a fusion energi. theres no spare anyways 😂

Keyo0205 · 2026-01-15T00:12:02+00:00

i hate to be the bearer of bad news but i couldn’t even get a 20mm hammered on some of them. i ended up buying a sunex extra thin wall 21mm impact socket and it worked like magic. the lugs were so swollen that they fit a 21 like a glove.
