I've had the car for about 8 months now. First the seats stopped moving back and forth. No warranty on the car so took it to my local Ford and they said it was off its track. A month later the same problem occurred and they said my seat stopped sending commands to the computer. Now three months later my car randomly started making a loud rattling noise. Got louder every time I started the car. So once again took it to my nearby Ford. They checked it out and said my flex plate has cracked all around and that it would be a $1600 repair. This car is still fairly new. Looked into it and it seems a lot of people are having the same experience and Ford is aware of the malfunction after many complaints but still has not made it a recall. Very upsetting that I will be without a car for a week and have to pay $1600 just to get it fixed when it seems to be a mass problem. Took it to a outside shop and they said they've heard about the problem before and it's more than just the flexplate but there's no one around that can do the job.

2016 Ford Fusion making loud rattling noise from engine. No check engine light ever came on, but Ford saying engine is catastrophic engine failure. Connecting rod in piston broke loose. How does no check engine light ever come on? this could have killed me on the highway. How does a 3 year old car with 128,000 (mostly highway) miles go into catastrophic engine failure? car has been meticulously maintained.
Car exhibits a drone/moan or rattle noise. The noise typically occurs while driving up a slight incline, under light throttle at 45-61 km/h (28-38 mph) at 1300-1400 rpm, in 5th gear. The noise may be present with the a/c on or off but is typically aggravated when the a/c compressor cycles on. This is the exact same issue at TSB 11-10-26, but that TSB only applies to escape and mariner vehicles even though the issue also applies to Fusions. This TSB should apply to all vehicles affected, not just some. . Read more...
