garfield123 Posted November 12, 2019 at 03:39 AM Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 at 03:39 AM Just bought the 2019 Fusion Energi and noticed that under the hood there is no normal soundproof insulator. Is this expected or I should go back to dealership to have a check? Picture attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsamp Posted November 12, 2019 at 05:42 AM Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 at 05:42 AM Older models had them. I doubt Ford eliminated that as one of the great selling features of the Energi is how quiet it is. But then, I don't know why anyone would have removed it either. Check with the dealer.

Ripper1 Posted November 12, 2019 at 12:37 PM Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 at 12:37 PM It looks like they missed it at the factory it's not only a sound deadner but a heat insulator to keep the paint from blistering from engine heat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murphy Posted November 12, 2019 at 10:58 PM Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 at 10:58 PM My 2019 doesn't have it either. Search the Hybrid forum. Ford saved a few pennies by deleting it for 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K22 Posted November 14, 2019 at 05:00 PM Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 at 05:00 PM Ford removed insulation on the hood and also the rear doors. Closing the read door sounds tinny, like from an entry level econo car door. The front door remains heavy and closes with a heavier thunk. I hear the previous years have heavier doors.
