FredERob22 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I have a 2008 Fusion SEL and recently I've started having a problem where when accelerating to get onto the freeway I encounter some jerking/hesitation/stumbling combined with the check engine light flashing and even the A/C starts blowing hot air. Waiting to get it into my mechanic to have it diagnosed, but was curious if anyone else encountered this and what the fix was Thank you in advance for your input. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirtanon Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 While a Check Engine Light is a concern, a FLASHING CEL is an urgent issue and should definitely get looked at ASAP. You mentioned in another thread that you work at a Ford dealership. I'd suggest taking it in and asking a tech if they can quickly get a code and tell you the issue, etc.. You also mentioned in your other thread that you're getting "17+ MPG" in that car. I wouldn't consider that terribly good mileage for that car with that engine. I'd be expecting at least 22-25MPG, depending on driving habits. I suspect the CEL is related to that. My gut says perhaps a trans issue.. but it could also be bad plugs, valves or multiple other things. You need to pull that code and get a better idea. You mention it's a 2008. Do you know when the last time was the trans fluid was drained and refilled, the plugs replaced, etc...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
