GSamkh Posted June 19, 2019 at 09:51 PM Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 at 09:51 PM Hello! I have a 2014 Fusion Energi Titanium. Several months ago noticed that, when I press on accelerator, a clicking/ticking sound comes form the lower passenger side, same happens when I release the accelerator. It feels like, when I accelerate, something turns on and when I release the accelerator, it turns off. Even if I am at a full stop and release the brake without pressing on accelerator itself, I can hear the sound. I think this might be normal. When the car needs a power to start moving, something turns on and when it does not need the power (when I release the accelerator) it turns off. Although, I do not think that it must be audible. Has anyone ever had this issue? And if so, should I be worried or is it normal? P.S. I found a video on Youtube and the sound I hear is similar, but only in cases I have mentioned above. Here is the video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5YmVKWUqoE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidoo Posted June 19, 2019 at 11:02 PM Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 at 11:02 PM Yes, I've had the issue in 2 different Fusions. First, I had a 2011 Hybrid and it made that noise. They said one of the front axles (probably called a half-shaft) was cracked. They fixed it and I never had the problem again. Drove the car probably another 30,000 miles and never heard the noise again. I traded that car with 100K miles in December 2016 for a 2017 Energi. After around 22,000 miles which occurred this year in April, I started hearing the noise in this vehicle. They said they checked and it wasn't the half-shaft this time. They kept my car and put me in a rental over a month and eventually installed a new transmission because they couldn't find what was causing it. I was shocked once during the repair as I had to go to the dealership to change cars they had given me, and I saw my car and the entire engine was out of the car. I finally got the car back and the noise was gone. Unfortunately, after about a week, the same clicking/ticking noise came back just as before. I haven't even gone back to the dealership. It drives fine and I just don't want to go through it again. My factory warranty is good through December of this year, plus I have the extended warranty as well. I'm beginning to think they just make this noise and maybe nothing is wrong. I will say throughout the time they had my car they took care of me with a rental or loaner the whole time. I bet they spend $10,000 or more. I just haven't felt like calling them to let them know it is making the same noise again. Mine is the same as yours as it only makes the noise when I first push on the accelerator, or let off of it. I don't have a constant noise like the video.

I will post the results here. kylem and Davidoo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
