Hi Kman937,
My name is Penny
I know it's been years since your query.
I am curious to now inquire if, your 2012 Fusion Sport, that you bought in 2016, was sold with an engine/beauty cover, which may have been light gray/silver with your engine size in red letters?
I bought my 2012 Ford Fusion Sport 3.5 V6 new, from Ford Dealership & I had, until recently a light gray/silver color engine cover(*per son who's a mechanic they call cover a "beauty" cover), with red lettering of 3.5 of engine size.
Sadly, I just noticed last Sunday 6/4/23 my emgine/beauty cover, for some odd reason, is now missing.
The last time my car was worked on at Ford, by their tech, was ONLY to change my oil, test battery, fluid check/top off & tire rotate last on 6/2/22.
I say all this bc, 'they' the Ford Service Dude & his Service Mgr, had some legit issues, with my inquiring, why their tech, would need to remove my cover, for Only an oil change.
Obviously, I was told that tech, had no literally reason to remove my engine cover last yr. Duh.. that is a 'no brainer'.
I ALSO have had no reason either, to touch my engine cover, let alone pop my hood since last June 2022.
I of course was questioned if, I have had any other work done on car at Ford or elsewhere.
Stated..nope I only allow Ford, (now sadly), to do ALL work & ALL printed proof is in my glovebox if, you need to check. I have no reason to lie or make this cover up.
Long story shortened..I'm told I never had one, by Service dude bc, he stated he looked it up..
I stated you're wrong bc, your other Service Co-worker pointed out to your Service Mgr in front of me, there are 3 screw holes, where engine cover would have, been attached on my engine.
Service Mgr having a look of disgust, stated he would now need, to go inquire with his tech. (Come on dude..it's a year later. Tech wouldn't tell you the truth either)
Problem is Service Dude can't, won't or don't want, to find a cover now.
I truly hope they are not obsolete now as it's 2023, which will always bother me if so.
Service Mgr came back, stating he had found & ordered a cover, out of his OWN CURIOSITY, bcz I'm a good customer..mmmkay..whatever dude.
To then find out yesterday 6/7/23, when ALL work on car was finished, for me to retrieve, the other dealer, had sent over a Lincoln printed 'black cover'..wowww.
All that to again to say.. I just need someone like yourself, or anyone else, that knows abt this engine/beauty cover.
If possible to send me confirmation byva picture or a part# of the cover existing, to my email address penny62grutz@gmail.com.
I never thought I would need, to take a picture of the engine for proof.
All I know is my engine cover is gone & cover don't/can't, remove itself while parked in my garage 24/7.
I'm also concerned, that tech did other shady things, to my engine's well last year, once he removed cover & kept/trashed my engine cover. I noticed my car had been running & idling a little rough.
However, once I got car yesterday it seemed to be running smooth. I do not trust them now. I only has 9,200K actual miles. Car is only driven 1 to 2 times a month since purchased.
I am desperate to find the existence of a 3.5 engine cover, for my 2012 Ford Fusion Sport 3.5 V6, l to prove him wrong.
Plus, hopefully someone can tell me where, to find a replacement cover.
Service dude stated if, I can now find a cover off eBay???
He stated they will reimburse me cost & put it on my car no charge. Jeez thanks for...
I hope you see my question & frustrated story.
I don't mind if someone else has knowledge & steers me in the correct direction, as well as sends me proof cover exists(ed). I know it did.
Service dude stated maybe one of sales guys decided, to add it on for addtl looks back then..please..stop the garage bs.
