  2. Okay I'm asking this only because it's racking my brain. I've heard metal shards on these transmission are normal. I just made a dipstick for my 2020 model and when I put it in my dipstick was coated with them is this normal will be getting a transmission service next time I get an oil change about 55k. I'm just curious what you guys think I'm also about to take to a 500 mile trip with it.
  3. Brake issue 2017 Fusion Hybrid SE so the big red Warning Low Brake Fluid display comes up when starting the car and also have the smaller brake warning light. Fluid is NOT low at all. Brakes work perfectly. Can engage and disengage the emergency brakes no issue (can hear them moving when doing this). This issues (warning light and message display) started after driving through approx axle deep water very slowly during one of Las Vegas’ infamous heavy seasonal rain deluges. Do not have any other warnings or error lights. Is it possible one (or more) brake sensors malfunctioned / shorted out when driving through the water (it was about 20 yards)? is there a way for me to reset the brake sensor system and see if error comes back or narrow down where in the braking system the fault it? Thanks in advance !! Jeff
  4. My files are for the small screen version. I don’t think it’s a good idea to try them on the large screen/Nav version.
  5. Does anyone know if the SYNC SW: B5U72006 is the v.4.6? Anyone have that SW version who is on the 4.6? I did an update a while back, but did not upload the log file to Ford website. Since I did not upload it, I am not sure which version I have right now..... Since the software version is not labeled 4.6 but some weird serial.
  6. I was just checking the Ford website and there a SYNC update available version 4.6 for my 2012 Ford Fusion SEL, but the link for download is missing. It says contact the dealership. I have the larger screen. The information below is from the Ford Website and the picture is the current SYNC on the vehicle. I did an update when I bought the car in 2021, but I don't think I upload the update log file to ford to acknowledge the update. I just recently updated my 2016 Ford Explorer that I recently bought and I did upload the log file. From the picture below I cannot tell what SW it is. I think I might be on the current software, but not sure B5U72006 is v4.6 or V4.0.2. If anyone has the 4.6 file that I can try and see if it will update or let me know if the SW:B5U72006 is the v.4.6 SYNC GenerationSYNC 1 SYNC Current Version4.0.2 SYNC Updates Update Available4.6
  7. Last week
  8. I have the larger screen. I have the 2012 Ford Fusion SEL version. It has the large screen with navigation. The information below is from the Ford Website. I have to verify the actual version from the car itself. I did an update when I bought the car in 2021, but I don't think I upload the update log file to ford to acknowledge the update. I jusr recently did to a 2016 Ford Explorer I recently bought and did upload the log file. From the picture below I cannot tell what SW it is.

  9. What version do you currently have installed and is it the large screen with Navigation or the small 2-line screen? Everything below applies to the small 2-line screen as I have no experience with the large screen: If you have 4.4, I would leave it alone. Version 4.6 takes away more than it gives you. If you have an iPhone, you will lose the ability to use Siri while connected to the car. I believe it also negatively affects similar functions on Android phones. The only positive thing I found about 4.6 is that it gives you a reboot function. So, if you have older than 4.4, I would look for 4.4 instead. Version 4.4 gives you song title and artist while streaming music as opposed to the generic “bluetooth streaming” on the display. I still have a download of 4.4 that I used in my former 2011 Mariner that should work. You are welcome to it if you want to give it a try. BE AWARE THAT IT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND THAT IF THERE IS ANY INCOMPATIBILITY OR OTHER ISSUE, YOU COULD BRICK YOUR SYSTEM. I have the 4.6 download too (same warning above apples).
  10. Will 2015 rims fit a 2016 Ford fusion?
  11. I was just checking the Ford website and also have the 4.6 for my 2012 Ford Fusion, but I don't see a link. It says contact the dealership. Did you find the update file?
  12. The quality of quick struts has fallen off a cliff. I would buy all the individual parts and have them built using quality parts. SUre it will be far more expensive, but you will regret quick struts when they crap out after a year.
  13. You've already posted this in another sub-forum. Please don't start another, separate thread for the same topic. This thread is now closed.
  14. From what I’ve seen online my best bet might be to try to take the fitting off this hose and put it on a new piece of hose. This is just ridiculous how difficult this is.
  15. OK sorry to be that guy that signs up for Foreman just because he’s desperately seeking help but I don’t know what to do. My car is been down for over two months now he needs a replacement transmission oil cooler hose. I tried ordering one from Ford parts dealer it was gonna take nine days and I got canceled literally the day before it was supposed to show up. From what I’ve read online some places will fabricate them for you but I haven’t been able to find any thing. Let’s just seems ridiculous they wanted me to buy $170 assembly for one 3 inch piece of hose. There’s gotta be another way??? is there?? thank you for anyone that tries to help me on this into the moderator I hope that I posted this in the right spot
  16. Ok so little bit of a back story. My son has a 2012 Fusion SE. I told him he needed to get the rear brakes done ASAP because pads were almost gone. He didn't listen and blew out the rear driver side caliper. During that event he sucked air into the master cylinder and likely ABS module. We have since done a full rear brake job and replaced the damaged caliper. We pulled the master cylinder and replaced with a new one after bench bleeding. Prior to installation of new master cylinder we plugged the outlet ports and confirmed internal seals were good as we had absolutely no movement in the piston with outlet ports plugged. We have installed the new master cylinder and manually bleed at the caliper at least 4 times time now including running the ABS bleed with Forscan 4 times and bleeding at each caliper. We have gotten some air of the system but no major pockets of air that I can see. Even after all these bleeds we still have zero brake pedal and no brakes at all. Prior to blowing out the caliper the braking system was working perfectly. Am I missing something, is there still just air trapped in the system somewhere and I need to keep at it with the bleeding? Any tips/advise would be greatly apricated.
  17. Looking to replace front struts on 2014 Fusion Titanium Hybrid with 18" wheels. Interesting in replicating factory like ride, (i.e. smooth, quiet ride), yet with responsive handling. Would like to go with Bilsteins, (22-250315 ft lt, 22-250322 ft rt), B4 OE replacement. However, without access to spring compressor would rather go with the quick strut assemblies. I've been unable to locate Bilstein Quick Strut Assemblies. What recommendations would you make based on positive experiences on the front strut, spring replacements? Thank you, TKell
  18. Either an EVAP valve or the cannister itself is no good. The cap is only responsible for sealing, not venting.
  19. I am currently looking for a QuickStrut recommendation for a 2014 Ford Fusion Titanium Hybrid 18" rims. I'm interested in original ride height and the original ride quality. From my research neither Bilstein or KYB provide the QuickStrut for the Fusion. Recommendations are appreciated.
  20. Earlier
  21. Hey friends, my gas cap seems to be trapping air in the tank at the moment. Whenever I go to fill up, it starts and stops and every time it stops I hear the air whistle out. This hasn't caused any driving issues but it has made filling the tank obnoxious in the winter. My first thought and the mechanics first thought was that the purge valve needs to be replaced, however I noticed it doesn't have any issues whatsoever when the car is on, even in just electric mode (car not fully on). Could this be a software bug that needs to be fixed? How could it be the purge valve if it only happens when the car is off? Additionally, the button to release the cap hasn't been working, I've been using the manual release in the trunk. My guess is the actuator needs to be replaced. Could that be related to the issue? Thanks to anyone who can offer some help!
  22. Did you ever figure the noise out. Mine is doing the exact same thing!
  23. Did you ever pinpoint the issue? I have the same in first and second when accelerating. Hoping it’s motor mounts and not a full trans rehab.
  24. If the turbo comes apart while driving you'll sure wish you didn't drive it.
  25. I cannot find anything on the code, you need to get someone with a higher level scan tool to get in there, probably something in the ABS module, but that is a pure guess.
