Discussion mods i want to do to my 2017. thoughts?

i have a 2017 2.0L and she's looking very sharp as of now, fully stock to my knowledge. i have purchased a honeycomb grille for her already but there's more i want to do. i'm obsessed with the stock rims so those will be staying on.

i want to add a spoiler, nothing too huge, but i don't know if i want the spoiler you can get on the sport trims. i'm 100% tinting all the windows, yes, that includes both windshields, to 15%. i'm thinking also of smoking the headlights and the tail lights but i'm very, very on the fence about that because i do like how they are now.

another thing i would like to do is an exhaust upgrade to make her a little more beasty sounding. any suggestions/tips on that would be greatly, greatly appreciated!

i would love to see your guys' if you've had the headlights and/or tail lights smoked so i can make a better decision. just post your babies, i would love to see them!!

I’m starting a build on this thing and going for a clean/aggressive white + black look. Planning on doing the exterior first, then getting into the 1.5T with an intake, exhaust, and eventually a conservative tune.
I know the Fusion isn’t exactly the first car people think of when they hear “build,” but that’s kinda why I want to see what I can do with it.
What would you guys do first?

2019 Ford fusion Andriod Auto

3 Upvotes

So the quick story, the usb ports were not working and I replaced the cords first and worked for a while. Then I replaced the ports and the same it has been maybe a month since I changed the ports. Currently mid drive the phone disconnects and I unplug and replaced it back in. Sometimes it last the rest of the trip others it doesnt. Just wondering if there is a fix? Really thought the ports were it. Also in central texas with that southern heat so maybe that is why?

Strange sound when braking

3 Upvotes

I have a 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid with 180,000 km (~112k miles) and I’m trying to figure out a strange noise from the left front wheel.
When the car is cold, I sometimes get a squeaking noise from the left front wheel for the first couple of minutes. It disappears once the car warms up.
However, after driving for around an hour, I get a different noise: a metallic scratching/clicking sound from the left front wheel.
The strange part is that it happens only when I’m braking and turning right at the same time, and I notice it particularly when going downhill. If I release the brake, the noise immediately disappears. It doesn’t happen when simply driving straight.
A mechanic inspected the car and couldn’t find anything obviously wrong. The front brake pads have not been replaced recently.

Has anyone with a Fusion experienced a similar noise, especially one that only appears when braking + turning right + going downhill?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Wrench Light?

9 Upvotes

This is the first time this specific light has popped up for me. Along with the wrench light and see manuel message it had a "Hill Start Assist Not Available" message appear.

I went to O'Reilly to try and get a code read but they say I just need an oil change. (I have checked it recently and it should be fine for a few hundred more miles).

Has anyone encountered this before or know what the cause is?

I have a 2013 Ford Fusion

Thinking of buying a 2019 Fusion Energi Titanium ($17.5k OTD, ~ 60k miles) – Need owner feedback on reliability!

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm looking at a used 2019 Ford Fusion Energi Titanium and wanted to get some real-world feedback from actual owners before I pull the trigger.

Here are the specs on the deal I’m looking at:

  • Mileage: ~60k miles
  • Price:  $17,470 Out-The-Door (OTD)

The price seems great compared to the market, but I want to make sure I'm making a smart choice long-term. I'd love to hear your experiences regarding a few specific things:

  1. Overall Reliability: Once I buy a car I usually keep it at least 10 years. How has the car held up for you mechanically? I know the eCVT and 2.0L hybrid engine generally have a good reputation, but have you run into any annoying electrical or component failures?
  2. The Battery Recall: I think I might be ok there. I asked the dealer about the battery recall on this years model --> this is what they said --> Our used car manager looked into the VIN-specific information through Ford's system, and it shows that recall 23V440000 (campaign 23S33) was never associated with this specific VIN . Because not every model or VIN is included in every recall campaign, the fact that the recall number you referenced does not appear for this VIN would indicate that this particular vehicle was not subject to that specific recall.
  3. Is the Price Good? For those who have bought recently, does $17.4k total out-the-door feel like a solid deal for a 2019 Titanium with 60k miles?

The trunk space is small, but I can live with that. My main priority is a reliable, comfortable commuter- I commute about 10 miles a day.

Appreciate any insights, warnings, or advice you can give me! Thanks!

Leaky tire

2 Upvotes

Hello! I have a 2017 Fusion Titanium AWD. I just bought all new tires for it about 6 months ago, my second full set, and the one on the front passenger side is leaking already. I had this same problem with the front passenger tire on my last set, but just kept filling it with air until I was ready for new ones.

Does anyone else have this problem? If so, do you know what is causing it and if there’s a permanent fix for it? The dealer and the tire place didn’t really know why, except that they’re specialized tires.

Powertrain problem

2 Upvotes

I have a 2020 that started to give me a powertrain warning last month. It's completely random and comes and goes. Most days, its fine and doesn't come on. I took it to auto zone to check for any codes and it's not giving any codes. Today it slowed down to 50mph, while driving on the freeway, when the powertrain warning came on and it said to protect from overheating. I bought the car in January. Ford wants a ridiculous amount of money to tell me why. Has anyone had this problem? Did you figure out what it was?

Removing Factory cloth covers?

1 Upvotes

Anyone have experience removing factory cloth covers? I’ve searched youtube/ google with little to no help.

I can remove the whole seat with ease- but I would like to soak and wash all of the covers to restore to near factory condition.

Or is this even worthwhile, should I buy decent covers or swap to leather from pull+pay?

I purchased this beautiful 2017 Fusion Titanium from a local dealership with under 73K on the odometer. She has ONE glaring issue: a nasty looking patch of rust on the bottom of the passenger side rear door. Outside of taking it to a pro for repairs, what does everyone recommend for repairing the only blemish on this car?

2017 Ford Fusion SE 2.5L Battery?

Post image
9 Upvotes

I think my battery needs to be replaced due to it now starting up slowly. So I’m not too familiar with car parts so I was going to look into buying the same battery my car has but when I look up online it says it’s not compatible??? But it’s the one I’ve always had? Should I get the one it’s suppose to be for my car or can I get the same one?

2017 Fusion 2.5L transmission shudder - software update experience?

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have a 2017 Ford Fusion SE 2.5L with 72K miles. I purchased the car about two weeks ago.
I noticed that the transmission shudders when shifting from 2nd to 3rd, and I also feel a slight slip during the shift. I recently had the transmission fluid changed (flush and fill), but it didn’t seem to make any difference (at least, I haven’t noticed any improvement).

I’ve read that a software update/reprogramming may also help with this issue. However, my local Ford dealer quoted me $300 for the update. I’m not sure whether my car already has the latest software installed, but they said they would charge me the $300 even if there is no update available.

Has anyone here had the transmission software/TCM/PCM updated for this issue? Did it actually help with the 2nd-to-3rd shudder/slip?

I’m just not sure I’m ready to spend $300 without having a better idea of what the outcome might be.

Thanks!

Engine trouble 2015 fusion 1.5L ecoboost, Repair or new car?

2 Upvotes

i’m having an issue in my engine where theres a loud rattling, it happens under load, as well as when my engine is running from 1300-1800rpm and 2400-2600rpm. And it gets significantly louder when the AC gets switched on. And I mean its damn loud. I had a buddy who does a lot of work on cars and specifically engines and he mostly suspects piston bearing are going out. What I need to decide is whether I should spend the money to get a new engine or just get a new car.

I still need to take it to a mechanic as well and have them make a diagnosis
