  1. Thanks for the replies folks. Yes the overflow was empty - it took 3 quarts to fill the radiator/overflow to where it needed to be.

     

    I originally had planned to go to the Quick Lane, and despite not needing an appointment I was told they had a 2hr wait and were not taking any more cars. Unfortunately this happens often - would rather have a dealer work on it.

     

    As I mentioned previously, will just keep a very close eye on it and see what happens....

  2. Hi Folks -

     

    Took my 2014 2.0L Titanium with 16,500 miles on it to the local Valvoline Oil Change today (Ford dealer had a 2hr wait) and they noticed the coolant was low. Since it was a drive through service, I was able to see they didn't do anything and verify it was low... there are no leaks on my garage floor, and according to the service tech it was low ~3 Quarts.

     

    Any thoughts? Temp gauge is right where it should be - no warning lights or anything. According to the guy at the Oil change facility, he sees this sometimes with Turbos - Does that seem correct?

     

    Any insight that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. Will just monitor the levels for the next few weeks to see if it goes down again.

  3. Hi Folks -

     

    I have a 2014 Titanium FWD with approximately 12k on the odometer. Owned it nearly 18 mos without a single issue or regret - and unlike many of the complaints my gas mileage has been fantastic, averaging ~34mpg highway and ~26 city.

     

    Over the last few months, though, I've noticed that the transmission has started shifting really hard. It doesn't appear to be slamming or slipping however you can feel a jolt each time it goes into/out of gear. More so I've found in the 3-4 shift and sometimes on other gears. It doesn't appear to be limited to when the transmission is cold/warm or anything else. I have an 04 Jeep Liberty that shifts smoother if that tells you something!!!!

     

    I made an appointment at my dealer to get the steering bolt taken care of in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone else had come across this as well as if there were any thoughts on what to expect with the dealer since I did tell them and they are supposed to take a look

     

    Thanks in advance -

  5. Hi Folks -

     

    Question - just picked up my 2nd Fusion - spouse took the 2011 Sport which I used to drive and I got a 2014 2.0L Titanium for myself. I know the Oil changes on the 3.5L sport were supposed to be 5,000 miles but the Titanium is telling me 10,000 miles on the service reminder. Does that seem right? Does it use more or a special oil to get that long out of it?

     

    Last Turbo I had was an 80's Chrysler product with repeatedly blew up - Just want to make sure I service this one appropriately.

     

    Thanks in advance -

  6. Hey Folks -



    I currently own a 2012 Ford Fusion Sport with 13,000 miles on it. It's only dealer maintained and never been in an accident.



    I've recently started started having problems, and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen the same issue. Over the fall and winter, I've started noticing moisture building up on the inside of the car when it rains or snow melts. As the temperatures have dropped, things have now started freezing on the inside of the car - (windows frosting up on the inside when there's no frost on the outside) as well as the display on the center stack (which shows the radio station etc...) freezing from the inside (which is now cloudy from the frost). After it rains, the windows will fog up on the inside.



    I tore the car apart and could not find water anywhere.... but the windows continue to fog/freeze on the inside and now it smells musty.



    I brought the car into the dealer who has informed me that there was a leak on the seal from the rear window which needed fixing. I then got another call from the dealer yesterday afternoon stating that they found a second leak somewhere in the front of the car and needed to keep it longer to further investigate.



    Recently, I've started having electrical gremlins (Blind spot sensors not working and giving me errors on the dash that they were not available) as well as the Sync turn by turn directions (which I use often) freezing and not wanting to download/or cannot find my location (Problems which I've never had) - and I'm wondering if this is the result of this water/moisture, and now thinking about long-term what this is going to-do to all the electrical wiring/connections in the car.



    Anyone ever have problems like this? I'm rather concerned as I do travel long distance for work a few times/month (spent 8 1/2 hrs in the car on Monday) and with my allergies and the musty smell - now I know why I was all stuffed up etc... after being in the car. The dealer has been absolutely wonderful - giving me a new Taurus as a rental and I could not have a negative thing to say about them - very very accommodating in every way possible -



    I'm just wondering if I should get rid of the car - I can only imagine what this moisture has done to it... Anyone have any thoughts - I'm really torn here... and frankly not sure I'd go with another Ford product if this is the sort of factory defects I'm finding....



    Thanks in advance everyone!!!
