willyro24 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Hi everyone! I purchased a used 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid in June of 2019. This car has been great to me, but now I have a problem that is concerning to me. I honestly can't begin to tell you when this problem started because I drive so little being only 5 minutes from my work. When my car is in EV and transition to the gas engine there is this loud whirling sound that comes from the engine area. If I am at a red light and my gas engine kicks in, it is very loud but as I begin to accelerate the sound gets softer. When I am running on the EV engine my car is silent you don't even know it's on. Anyways, today I was at Ford getting my automatic starter put in an oil change since it has been 5,000 miles since my last oil change, I asked them to check out the sound because it seems to be getting louder and they found a fluid leak in the transmission. They are not sure if this is the problem or if there is something further going on. So I figured I would reach out on here to see if anyone has any advice or a similar problem because I know people have been able to help my girlfriend on the Ford Escape Forum so I'm hoping to have some luck here also! Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eGuru Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 By "whirling sound", I assume you mean it sounds like fan. Perhaps it is the ICE cooling fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolder Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 It should be covered by warranty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyro24 Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Thanks for the replies! The service side of Ford called and said to bring the car back immediately, so we did and the results are, I need a new transmission as well as a leak in my engine fixed. Luckily everything is covered by warranty, no idea how it happened or was missed during routine oil changes but in the end, at least it is covered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolder Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 So now the transmission oil leaks and failures are up to the 2018 models. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
