    No fluid loss. I had found those part numbers, too, but Ford was not able to supply the parts. I ended up finding them from Maktrans (a transmission repair shop in Eastern Europe) and got them shipped from Ukraine! But I got it all put back together and running. As far as the cause of the failure, best as I can tell, the bearings on the transfer motor wore out. So, if you have a 2.0L with the HF35 transmission (Fusion/Cmax/MKZ Hybrids) and you get a loud growling noise from your transmission, have it pulled and do a bearing replacement before something else breaks! It actually wasn't that hard of a job if you're mechanically inclined and you have an engine hoist. I did have to make a jig out of plywood and #10 stainless steel screws to be able to pull the core out of the electric motor (the service manual calls out a specialty tool that costs $1200 online).

    I'm lazier than that. I just google it 🙂

    Damn! Shoulda checked YouTube, huh? The panel with the Ford logo on it is the one I was questioning. My screwdriver was too small, tho. And I had no clue on the battery number. Thanks a ton!

    Started getting the low battery message today. Swapped in the spare so I could change the battery. Owners manual has nothing on HOW to do it, only that it should be done. Taking the bayonet key out, there is an area that allows access to the panel that is opposite the buttons. It was rather difficult so I stopped messing with it until I could find out stuff. Do I have to be raked over financial coals at a dealer for this? I have Intelligent Access - just so you know. Thanks!

  11. billford
    Did it run out of oil? Looks like a lot of metal missing. Before attempting a repair, are you sure you can find all the broken metal that may have circulated into the rotors, magnets, oil passages, cooler? What does the filter look like? Do you need #83 and #84? The basic part number to ask for is: 83 7D234 Sun gear thrust bearing 84 7A348 Sun gear

    Welcome to the forum. Try the CMAX forum. It might be more active. https://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/ I think they share the same engine and transmissions. Since you obviously have the skills you can always try pick your own junkyards junkyarddog.com Let us know how it goes. What do you think caused the problem? 2018 isn't that old but 195k is a lot of miles for a 5 year old car. 39,000 miles a year, yikes.

    Reviving an old thread. The camera from Amazon stopped working after 3 years. Got another one for $44 and will do the swap again. I still can't pay $287 for an OEM camera. I also don't want to risk one from the junk-yard.

    2018 Fusion Hybrid, 195k miles. I've had loud engine noise when at low speeds for maybe a year. About a month ago, it shut down on me on the highway. I was getting a P0E4E code (Engine lockup) and P088E (planetary failure). When I got it towed home, the engine was locked up. I dropped the transmission, and the engine would turn. So, I broke apart the transmission, and found the planetary gear assembly, ring gear, oil pump gear, the sun gear and it's thrust bearing all torn up. Everything else looks fine. Ford sells everything but the sun gear and its thrust bearing. They can't even supply the part number. From what I can find, the H4F45 transmission in the 2020+ escape Hybrid is the same, but still can't find the part number. Does anyone here know where I can order these from?
  16. Sky14FFH
    Oh no I am so sorry to read of that. There was no way to park it in high ground huh? Hope your insurance helps you. Crazy how the west side of Florida got hammered the most. How many miles did you have? Here's a nice white one that was listed before the hurricane. https://tampa.craigslist.org/psc/ctd/d/land-lakes-2018-ford-fusion-hybrid/7787933156.html

    Yes you can put the car into brake service or maintenance mode. Turn the key to accessories but don't turn the car on. Put the transmission in neutral> hold the accelerator pedal down all the way.> then hold the parking brake button down.> then turn the key off and then back on>then put the transmission in park and take the key out. (It is like an old video game cheat code) Set brakes into maintenance mode To undo it follow this. How to exit brake maintenance mode. Brake Maintenance mode with a push button start Also, Autozone has a brake caliper loaner tool which you can borrow for free with refundable deposit to compress the caliper pistons. https://www.autozone.com/brakes-and-traction-control/loaner-disc-brake-caliper-tool/p/oemtools-front-and-rear-disc-brake-pad-spreader-set/298604_0_0 I did my rear brake pads myself and it was the easiest brake job I ever did. You'll also notice the shocks and the springs are separate on the rear too making replacing them easy as well. I am happy Ford keeps some things simple.

    Remember what I said above about hurricanes? Well Helene got me, car is totaled. Salt water got up inside and fried lots of little things. WHen I opened the door it smelled like melted insulation and electronics were wacky. Couldn’t figure out how to get it into Neutral for the tow truck and the guy just dragged it up onto the flatbed. It was a good car, will miss it. Since they haven’t made any since 2020, I’ll probably be getting a 2-3 tear old Camry Hybrid now.
  20. Suncoast Hybrid
    I’ve never done it, but see the post from Sky14FFH - says it’s pretty easy.

    Probably blew the 50 amp or 15 amp fuse under the hood. The 50 amp is hot all the time, so it doesn't matter if the key was off. Real bad idea cutting wires. Could have also fried the engine computer as one of the circuits is also in that connector. If you don't splice in the wires properly, you will end up wire corrosion which shows up later. At least disconnect the battery next time

    I bought my FFH at 125K miles. The throttle body was very black and dirty and so I cleaned it with carburetor cleaner. I also removed the MAP sensor and cleaned it with mass air flow sensor cleaner. DO NOT USE carburetor cleaner on the MAP sensor! I have read that the atkinson engine in the FFH causes the throttle body to become dirty. That makes sense to me because the intake valves remain open a short time into the compression cycle.

    Did you remember to unplug the HV at the traction battery before working on the water pump?

    The dealer troubleshooted the problem. The bottom seat fan (each seat has two and no electric seat pad/element) needs to be replaced. Has anyone done this replacement? Does the seat have to be removed or can it be done with the seat installed? Thanks
  27. Sky14FFH
    Oh it always had a corporate mediated experience vibe to it, unlike a former car website I was on where people were hacking the temperature sensors to get more power out of the car. There was very little tweaking allowed on this site, Paul T. Jones was probably the best "hot rodder" here who could improve his fuel economy the most. He was constantly shouted down by the engineer brains and eventually chased out, which sucks big time. Compared to my old car which I did loads of home modifications on (and it is still running well I might say - never burnt down like the guys who had no clue at the dealership 20 years ago) I've done very little on the FFH outside of make a polycarbonate grill block and do a couple maintenance things myself: oil, brakes, air filter, cabin air filter, repair glove box gear from junk yard parts.
  28. Sky14FFH
    Yeah I'd get that hub checked. For now jack up the corner it is coming from and check the movement of the wheel with your hands, first right and left then top and bottom. Then check underneath see if there is any play in the ball joint.

    What I'm hearing is almost certainly coming from wheels or tires. I'd bet Tires. I wish there was some instrumentation to monitor vibration levels on the wheels Or maybe just vivbrations detected at each cormer of the car, which could hint at the cause by which was higher/lower. Super neat if it would record the velocity in real time, throttle position, along with the vibration dfata, so you could tell if it rose/fell with rpms or with speed over ground
  30. ffe
    LOL Definitely not Ford. Not a chance. OEMs have no interest in owner community and self help. Are you okay?
  31. Sky14FFH
    Did you get rid of your CMax?
  32. Sky14FFH
    Who started these forums? Was it Ford or are they independent? Sure hope we don't lose them.
  33. Sky14FFH
    Many of us have been struggling to identify the vibration coming from the glovebox/right passenger door area. It's not a loud vibration though, just a mild one that happens around 2200rpms for me. It's an annoyance related to the interior trim or something. The frequency of it happening reduced somewhat when I switched to Mobil 1 oil but it still happens. Some have discovered it was coming from within the speaker area. I haven't bothered to mess around with it as it doesn't bother me that much. There are a couple threads on it but I don't think that is what you are referring to?
