1 Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problem of the 2011 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 04/09/2021

After having the takata airbag recall taken care of by franklin Ford Lincoln the engine oil light was on and the battery kept draining and had to be replaced today. Ford claims that they did nothing incorrect in the recall but prior to taking my car to Ford the battery and 02 sensor were in fine working order. After the recall they were not. After replacing the battery today the car still hesitates to start and the ac system keeps making a clicking noise. This was not happening before the recall was performed. I don't think that my car will ever be the same and it is all due to Ford Lincoln of franklin replacing the airbags.

8 Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problem of the 2009 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 03/08/2010

I was driving to the dealer to have them check a tapping sound coming from the engine that I had heard earlier that day. I made it about 5 miles from home, and the engine had blown, no warning lights, nothing other than the sound that had just occurred that morning. Now I had made it about 90k after the new engine was installed (now at 139000), and again the engine has blown. This time it was a little worse, the car had a sudden increase of power, and then all the sudden there was a loud bang, and a cloud of white smoke followed by smoke coming from the hood and the rear of the car. When I pulled onto the shoulder I looked under the car and saw a piece of the engine fall out and then all of the oil as well. I take very good care of every vehicle I own, the first time it happened the dealership told me it looked like I hadn't changed my oil ever. It was just a sludge.
