03reptile Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 As a result of the previous post about our 2010 I-4s sometimes continuing to crank W/O starting, (2010 4 cly. keeps turning over), I spoke with my service manager at Ford. There is a TSB (technical service bulletin) out on this problem. It is TSB 09-19-1. Apparently there is a ground strap near the engine that is causing the problem. They replace it with an up-dated version and that is supposed to eliminate the no start issue. Mine is on order. This is warranty work and therefore it is of no cost to the owner. Just call your dealer, refer them to the TSB number, they will order the part, and install it under warranty. It doesn't take long ( 0.4 hr.) and you could probably wait while they install it. The reason for the no start issue is a little technical, but suffice it to say that the new grounding strap is supposed to eliminate the issue. Hope this settles this concern. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this pertain to the 2010 only? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03reptile Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Does this pertain to the 2010 only? The TSB indicates 2010 Ford Fusion 2.5L four cylinder. No mention of other years or engines. It also covers the 2010 Mercury Milan w/ same engine. The TSB does indicate that it supersedes TSB 9-15-10. I don't know what that TSB specifically says but one can assume it is basically the same. Your dealer can tell you what 9-15-10 refers to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartmanea Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Can somebody post the TSB or email it to me? Email is my username @gmail.com. I have a 2010 that is out of warranty (91k) so I'd rather not just take it in. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6SpeedJunkie Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 This is warranty work and therefore it is of no cost to the owner. Just to kinda clear that up...TSB's are not a warranty issue. They're kinda like a quick reference for a tech. It's like Ford enginers know about this problem is this is how you fix it. Yes, it is covered under your 3yr/36k warranty, but that's all. I would hate for anyone to get false hope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TanK203 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I had this problem since like 2 months after purchasing the car. I brought it in time and time again to fix it and they could never replicate the issue. When I did the research myself I came across that TSB and brought it up to the dealership. They fought with me about it a little but I pushed and eventually called corporate to have them covere it (since I was slightly outside my 36K warranty, but had records of complaining of this issue since 4K miles) Corporate covered it and it has not been an issue since it was fixed which was about 6 months ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
