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

HI Eli23569 and welcome to the Fusion Forums. Blind Internet diagnosis is tricky at best, even with photos. And it is not the wheel itself. You sustained left front end damage. The messages you are receiving would lead one to believe either the AdvanceTrac sensors/wiring or other components, or other AdvanceTrac related/connected suspension components were at least partially damaged. Did you have Collision coverage on your Insurance policy? Are you having the vehicle repaired? The way to have this properly diagnosed would be to have the vehicle looked at by a Collision/body shop or a Lincoln Dealer or independent shop you trust. Anything else is educated but still blind guessing. I am sure others will jump in with more help and advice, so keep us updated and good luck.

Hi Roxas. No, they are not snap cushions (if they are still factory). In the past, I used Woolite Fabric Cleaner foam for vehicles I had with cloth seats. I followed the directions and it did an excellent job. I am sure others will jump in to help, so keep us updated and good luck.

Hi RobertG. Are you pressing the lock button twice? The 2011 models should only honk when you press the lock button twice. First press, lights flash. Second press (within a second or two) and the horn honks once. Two horn honks on either press means a door, the trunk or hood is open. Let us know how you make out and good luck.

Hi Reggieros. As drolds1 mentioned, you are dragging up old threads. And now you are quoting and thanking yourself.

Hi chris. Check the Index in your Owners Manual under "Changing the 12v battery". It is page 251 of the "3rd printing" . On earlier Fusions there is an Idle and Fuel Trim Strategy relearn procedure which needs to be performed when the battery has been replaced. That procedure was replaced by the BMS reset in later model years. For a full explanation, see your Owners Manual. In the meantime, here is the Idle and Fuel Trim relearn procedure: "1. With the vehicle at a complete stop, set the parking brake. 2. Shift the transmission into P. 3. Turn off all accessories. 4. Step on the brake pedal and start the vehicle. 5. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. While the engine is warming up, complete the following: Reset the clock. See Audio System (page 105). Reset the power windows bounce-back feature. See Windows and Mirrors (page 72). Reset the radio station presets. See Audio System (page 105). 6. Allow the engine to idle for at least one minute. If the engine turns off, step on the accelerator to start the engine. 7. While the engine is running, step on the brake pedal and shift the transmission to N. 8. Allow the engine to run for at least one minute by pressing on the accelerator pedal. 9. Drive the vehicle at least 10 miles (16 kilometers) to completely relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy. Note: If you do not allow the engine to relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy, the idle quality of your vehicle may be adversely affected until the engine computer eventually relearns the idle trim and fuel trim strategy." Check the Index in your copy for the correct pages and the full explanation. Let us know how you make out and good luck.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! 🎄

Hi cdygalloway. Yes, as WKelley stated, it can be considered "normal". In addition, you may want to check your power steering fluid for correct level, if you have not already done so. And if it has never been flushed/changed, you may also want to have that work performed. Keep us updated and good luck.

Hi Amnon and welcome to the Ford Fusion Forum. You may get a better response if you start your own new thread, instead of hopping on an already existing and older thread about O2 sensor locations. Good luck.

Hi Lorene and welcome to the Ford Fusion Forum. As you can see in this thread, there are others who have experienced this issue. It seems to be more of an issue with some 2020 models and a few 2019's. Blind Internet diagnosis seems to point to some batches of the material being sub-standard/defective, but that is just a guess. How to resolve it depends on the situation. If the vehicle is still within the 3 year/36,000 mile New Vehicle Warranty, scheduling a service appointment and having your Ford Dealership replace it under warranty would be the answer. One member did just that and had it replaced under warranty. Unfortunately, as in your case, most Fusions will now be outside that New Vehicle Warranty period. In that case, scheduling a service appointment and seeing if your Ford Dealership can perform an accommodation such as customer satisfaction type of extended warranty would be the next step. This would be a decision made by the Dealership on a case-by-case basis, or by them contacting Ford. You can also contact Ford Customer Relations directly to ask if there is something they may be able to do to help. In most cases, an ESP Plan/extended warranty would not cover an issue like this. But do not take my word for it, see what the Service Manager at your Dealership tells you. Unfortunately, in addition...Most members who have posted in this thread have been a "one and done" type of thing. They have come here, registered, posted once to complain, then never come back to offer any more information as to what they did, what the final outcome was etc. Your best course of action would be to schedule a service appointment and see what your Dealership can do, if anything. And also contact Ford Customer Relations. Let us know how you make out and good luck.

Hi tkeener and welcome to the Ford Fusion Forum. Here is a link to help with the P0741 DTC code: https://www.obd-codes.com/p0741 Unfortunately, since it relates to "Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance or Stuck off", it does not seem to explain the ticking/knocking you are experiencing. Take a look at the code/troubleshooting explanation, and see if you feel you may need a professional shop/tech/mechanic for further assistance. Oh, one question: Is there any chance your Fusion is still within the 5 year/60,000 mile Powertrain Warranty? Keep us updated and good luck.

Hi wmbeckham. The tires need to be removed from the wheels in order to replace the TPMS sensors. Most people I know, including myself, do not have the tools necessary for that. Do you have the tools and ability to dismount all 4 tires from the wheels and remount them yourself? If not, you will need to have this work performed by a shop. This was why I also mentioned it may make sense just to wait until you need to replace your tires, if it will not be too long from now. In that way, the sensors can simply be replaced as part of the work when they install the new tires and saving you quite a bit of money. After all, you have been living with the TPMS warning light for a year now anyway. Keep us updated and good luck.

Hi wmbeckham. My recommendation would be this: You will need to dismount the tires from the wheels in order to replace the sensors anyway. Therefore, instead of trying to save a few dollars purchasing sensors on your own, find a tire shop you trust and have them supply, replace and retrain them. Do you belong to Costco or another warehouse club that installs tires? If yes, that would be a good place to go. Also...if you will need to be replacing your tires soon anyway, wait until then, replace the TPMS sensors when you replace the tires, and save a good chunk of money. Concerning whether there could be another issue besides TPMS batteries? Yes, it is possible. However, if the sensors on your Fusion are the factory originals, then as you surmised, the batteries are long overdue for replacement. I am sure others will jump in with more advice, so keep us updated and good luck.

Hi NealT. Is the following Ford SYNC 3 update website link the one you stated was/is broken? https://www.ford.com/support/sync-maps-updates/ If not, try that one. And hopefully the Ford representatives you are speaking with will be able to assist you. Keep us updated and good luck.
