Having a senior moment....I did check the 08 VIN on Ford's website last year and there is/was campaign 21N11 for the HCU unit and ABS fault codes. Unfortunately the 15 year time period had expired and the one time replacement date December 31st 2022 was passed. Its interesting that the website still shows the campaign despite the car being out of date. Unfortunately the previous owner didn't have the campaign completed.

Checked the 2011 VIN number on the Ford "Support Recalls" websites, both USA and Canada, no recalls or campaigns for the 2011. Regardless, the brakes are working fine. The issue with the 08 was not a hydraulic failure due to a "sticky" HCU valve, rather an electrical fault (C1095) for the ABS pump motor circuit failure. I understand that the pump runs very very briefly when starting the car to ensure its electrical integrity. The 08 pump motor required a crack with a hammer handle to get the electric motor spinning. Unfortunately the motor is not replaceable separately, I picked up a complete module/HCU unit from a recycler, swapped the original module to the new/used HCU and bled the system several times using the scan tool and the old fashioned method at each wheel. The Ford recall 19S54 addresses the hydraulic portion for model years 2006 to 2010 which I find odd as the 2011 models use the same ABS module/HCU according to my local dealer. I'll run the 08 model VIN as there may be a recall to replace the fluid with DOT 4 and install a new DOT 4 labelled cap after bleeding. The 2011 model still uses the DOT 3 labelled cap. More to follow.

Hi gang. See the links below for the latest SYNC 3 NAV map update information, as listed on the Ford and Lincoln SYNC 3 NAV map update website: https://syncnavigation.com/lincoln/home https://syncnavigation.com/ford/home SYNC 3 NAV map updates are normally released later in the calendar year, but it seems the next one will be available earlier. Good luck.

Hi SuperD and welcome to the Ford Fusion Forum! Good luck. 🍻

2010 FFH is throwing Code: C0022 - Brake Booster Solenoid, Additional Fault Symptom (:14): - Circuit Short To Ground Or Open, in Forscan. Power brakes are out, Advancetrak is off, no regenerative braking. The hydraulic brakes work as expected. Have a new 12v battery, all fuses are good. My son drives the car, and noticed when the issue first happened the brake fluid reservoir was low. He added fluid and all was well for about a week. Reservoir hasn't dipped at all. Don't now if that is related or not to the C0022 fault. Code won't clear. Any ideas on how to approach? Replacing the brake booster looks like a PITA At 130K miles, this is my first real issue (other than resetting the battery date and replacing a wheel bearing). HELP!

What brand was it? Does it have a warranty? At the minimum, many auto parts stores will give some form of rebate/gift card when you turn in a battery.

It was the battery. Took the battery to the nearest parts store. It would not charge. Then had the alternator checked. It is OK. Never had lights flashing and head lights be on after turning off the head lights when a battery died. Thought I had electrical problem. Kept the old one to see if I could get anything back for it from the place I bought it two years ago.

Welcome to the FFF, SuperD. You'll find a wealth of information and helpful folks here.

Presumably, there was no vibration before the new tires. Is the vibration from 40 mph up, or just at 40? You indicate that the tires were high-speed balanced. As suggested by WKelley above, perhaps look for another shop that offers road-force balancing. Some dealers are so equipped.

Check for HCU recalls, both cars are likely under that recall.

FWD or AWD? Transmissions almost never cause vibrations at speed. I would be looking for a bent rim first. I'd also get the tire balanced checked at another shop. IF the axle was bent you'd have undriveable vibrations. Bent rims can sneak by even the best tire guy from time to time.

I’m getting a vibration at 40 mph consistently. I have all 4 new Michelin tires on my 20 Ford Fusion. They’ve been high speed balanced. I mention this because the dealership wants to associate this with the tires. I’ve been told it may be the axle, but I wonder if it’s a transmission issue? Thoughts or has anyone else had this issue?

After driving several miles and making five stops my Fusion decided not to start after the last stop. The wife decided to turn on accessories to charge her phone while I went to take care of something. Various lights flashed on the dashboard, the steering wheel and the interior lights came on. The headlights came on very dim. Turned the headlights switch from AUTO to OFF. This is not typical of a dead battery. Battery is not yet two years old. Wondering if the alternator has failed or there is a short or the electrical system has fried.

Used Motorcraft Mercon in my 2012 SE.

2 Fusions for the kids (not really kids any longer).. Searched and found a mint 08 Silver Birch (I think) SEL V6 last fall for our daughter with only 70,000km on it. Needed nothing for the safety and she's been driving it through the winter completely trouble free (see below). Last week picked up a really nice 2011 Tuxedo black Sport with just over 100,000km for my son who's Honda is on its last legs. Love the simplicity and the availability of inexpensive parts. Both cars have been regularly "Krowned" so the rockers are mint. They were looking for reliable transportation and no monthly payments. Both cars came with almost new snows, the 2011 came with them mounted on nice black mags probably from CTC. The 08 was owned by a 94 year old lady, the day I drove it home an ABS code popped up. I have a bi-directional scan tool, a trip to the wrecking yard and I replaced the HCU as the electric motor had died. Used one cost me $50. I bled over a litre of fresh fluid through the system to keep it clean. The 2011 had a very low pedal, I expected similar problems with the HCU as there were no codes and the brake fluid looked nasty. Bled it to death and still had a low pedal. Rear rotors and pads were new, whomever had done the brakes failed to investigate the fronts. The caliper pins were completely seized and the inboard pads were done. New rotors and pads, some time spent cleaning the pins and brackets and the brakes are now great. Only remaining issue on the 2011 is the passenger widow occasionally refuses to go down from either switch. No idea why, I'll have to check wiring diagrams to see how its supposed to operate. The original owner says it has been doing this for years and always goes up. Looking forward to the new forum. Dave in Ontario

Has anyone added the stock rear decklead speakers. From a fusion with the Sony system. I don't have them but it would be sweet to add them. Anyone know of pigtails that will work with these.

Hi , I have a 2016 fusion energi. The 12 volt battery died. I replaced it and a week or two later the battery light will come on sometimes. when it does the 12v battery is not charging, but after a bit the light will go out and the 12v battery is charging again. I can usually drive to work in the morning no problem (28 miles 5:30AM). on the way home about 3/4 of the way home the light will come on. It doesn't mater if I use air or not. the light will come on after about 3-5 mils the light will go out and the 12v battery is charging again and after 10 or so miles it will come back on. and the cycle will go over and over until I make it home. Does anyone have direction for me.

Ended up changing CV, slid right in back into position where original "WAS". Still no clue what happened nor why the OEM CV jumped out like that and decided to stretch but not willing to go back into place. Never see anything like it

Not much help, but I would try popping the end out of the transmission and get it all on a bench to see if you can fit it together. Aftermarket axle might be in order too.

Hello, I have a 2019 Ford Fusion SE 1.5l ecoboost engine. I have been getting the shift system fault and looks like I need the bushing replacement. Ford quoted me 240$ to change them which is 14$ parts and 226$ labor. I tried to find a video which shows how I can do it but my main issue is access. My hands are not small or flexible enough for the small opening. I am planning to take out the Engine Air filter box and see if that gives me enough space. Do you think this is a good approach or I should try any other approach? Thank you

Was doing front struts my son's 2014 SE. Easy job, done them many times on other vehicles. Passenger side as I was releasing top bolt to knuckle like jumped out at me as if it were spring loaded Tried to push the top of the knuckle and pivot it back up as you should be able to do (it should move freely when swinging up and down), but nothing. The wheel assembly (brakes, rotor etc) will not swing up now for me to be able to bolt strut to knuckled. Its almost like the CV popped completely out and now we're hitting a wall. Weirdest thing I've ever experienced when doin struts. even had bottom of control arm supported with a jack so we decided to cut the inner boot against tranny and remove the CV to see if maybe we goofed something. at that inside end of that cv are three wheels that go inside the cup. They will not go back in cup. any ideas? I've got two other close friends who also do lots of mechanic work dumbfounded by this as well.

I have a 2014 Ford Fusion SE Turbo 1.5l EcoBoost. I have change both 02 sensors, the MAP sensor, all the turbo boost sensors, replaced all the fuel injectors, all the spark plugs and all the coil packs. It still has a vibration when it’s idling and it is slow to speed up from idle. I am tired of part chasing based on someone’s advice. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this considering everything I have already changed????? I really need a solid lead on how to resolve this. Thanks ahead of time.

So too fix this POB24 code error is to replace the 12 volt battery at the back? In that little cubby?

Is there any way you could post a video?

Hello all, i have a 2010 fusion with the 3.0 and I'm trying to get my ac running before it gets hot here. My cousin said the ac ran fine but it has not come on since i had the car. i had to put in a new pcm due to the major issue of them failing. I plug my AUTEL MK808 in and i can see it is requesting but the command state is off. all the fuses are good, new lines, new pressure switch (near firewall behind manifold on pressure line). I'm taking it in on the first of may to a reliable mechanic but if i can save money, any help will be appreciated. im at a loss and i direly need it also considering i have leather seats
