I think you meant that it cranks but won't start. I can't believe a Ford dealer can't figure this out. Anyway, just spitballing but, if it's got fuel and spark, it sounds like the timing chain may have broken. Did they check for that possibility? What's your mileage?

Welcome to the FFF. Your question is being moved to a more appropriate section of the forum. The Welcome section is designated as the area for new members to introduce themselves and post pictures of their cars. Questions and comments about the Fusion go in one of the applicable subsections.

Glad to hear it.

The 6FXX series transaxles in 2010+ Fusions have a lifetime filter. The case has to be split open to access said filter. The only time this would be done is if the trans is removed from the car for major service. If the filter is clogged, the trans is toast anyway

The A/C drain is near the front firewall, so no, that can't be it. It drains condensation from the evaporator. Do you have a moonroof? The hose you reconnected is likely one of the 4 drains from the moonroof.

If we're talking about a Hybrid, the manual is clear:

There's no drain per se. You remove the hose from MEC pump from underneath. Did you watch the video referenced in the above post of 4/9/22?

It's hard enough to diagnose noises over the Internet, even with details. You haven't furnished any, and we can't drive your car to hear it. Under what conditions does the noise occur: slow-speed, high-speed? What kind of noise: scraping, clicking, squealing? If the wheel is turned, does it stop., get worse or not change at all? Do you feel any movement n the brake pedal when it occurs? Also, a video might help.

Traditionally, water pumps were externally mounted on the front of the engine and belt-driven along with other engine-mounted accessories such as, alternator, a/c compressor, power steering pump, emissions pumps and (non-electric) radiator fan. The 3.5/3.7 Ford engines, however, have the coolant pump mounted internally and driven by a (timing)chain. The problem is when the pump fails, it leaks coolant. With an external pump, coolant just leaks onto the ground. With the internal pump, coolant may leak into the engine oil, diluting it. The Ford internal pump is supposed to have provisions for a leak to drip onto the ground also, but that doesn't always happen. Since antifreeze is a poor lubricant, once enough gets into the oil, the latter is diluted to the point that it can no longer do its job and engine failure may result. It's not always the case, as this video will illustrate. Now, in your case, the fact that you saw any antifreeze on the ground at all could be a good sign. It's possible that antifreeze didn't get into your engine's oil. That's fairly easy to determine. When antifreeze mixes with oil, the result is a liquid that resembles a chocolate milkshake. See here. Has the shop told you this? Let them show you if that's the case. It's not a forgone conclusion in these cases. How did they come to the conclusion that you need a new engine? If you do need a new engine, where is it being sourced; junkyard, remanufactured? Will it have any kind of warranty? These are questions you need to be asking. When they replaced the transmission cooling lines, they should have noticed if coolant was leaking from the water pump. BTW, how many miles are on your Fusion? Even if all you need is a water pump, it's still a huge job on this car. Partial disassembly of the engine is required. The manual allows for 11½ hours of labor for a paying (non-warranty) customer. If the engine needs to be replaced, it's more hours of labor plus the cost of the replacement engine. Depending on the provenance of the replacement engine, $4G doesn't sound bad to me. But again, you need to get all the details. Get back to us when you know more.

This is for an MKX, but the principal is the same.

That part # is a for remanufactured engine. See: https://www.theoemparts.com/oem-parts/ford-engine-fp5z6006aarm Supposedly, the engines being used for replacement are an improved design.

Try a module reset first.

In addition to andyross's advice, check the steering coupler rag joint as well. If you can't determine the source of the noise on your own, I'd have it looked at by a pro sooner rather than later. Front-end noises, especially in the steering, could be a safety issue.

Welcome to the FFF. Some first-gen cars without Sync still had a phone button on the steering wheel. There's no functionality.

Here's the description from the official Ford Parts site. Apparently, the build date is key. Was yours built between 11/08/2011 - 07/29/2012?

According to Tasca Ford parts, the KA will fit your 2012 Fusion.

In that case, instead of creating a new thread, one would post in the original thread and ask if any updated information was available. However, the answer provided seems pretty clear to me. Furthermore: https://ford.oemdtc.com/3673/delete-engine-beauty-cover-2018-ford-fusion

Here are the Ford engine codes for 2014. The code is in position 8 of your VIN:

In order to get any kind of response, you'll need to furnish basic details. The 2014 (gasoline only) Fusion was available with 3 different engine choices. Which is yours?

Presumably, you've read about and watched Ford Tech Makuloco's videos on the subject. He has since updated the topic and made a video in which he demonstrates his method for cleaning intake valves on Ford EB DI engines. Click.

The posting showed only 2400 miles, but there's no way to know if that was put on before or after the build. A red flag is that there's no VIN, which generally means it can't be licensed for the street. It may not even be driveable. I agree that without serious upgrades, the stock powertrain would never hold up to 400 hp, especially a stock 6F35 transaxle. Back in the day, I was a Lincoln LS owner and member of the Lincoln LS Owner's Club (still am). In 2002 McLaren debuted a tricked out McLaren LSE, complete with an Eaton supercharger, 6-speed manual trans and lots of other goodies. I saw it at the NY Auto Show, and we were all excited. They promised to start taking orders. Well, that never happened, and we later found out that the Eaton supercharger was in the trunk! Moral of the story is that you never know with these awesome sounding show cars.
