- 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid
Hi everyone!
I purchased a used 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid in June of 2019. This car has been great to me, but now I have a problem that is concerning to me. I honestly can't begin to tell you when this problem started because I drive so little being only 5 minutes from my work. When my car is in EV and transition to the gas engine there is this loud whirling sound that comes from the engine area. If I am at a red light and my gas engine kicks in, it is very loud but as I begin to accelerate the sound gets softer. When I am running on the EV engine my car is silent you don't even know it's on. Anyways, today I was at Ford getting my automatic starter put in an oil change since it has been 5,000 miles since my last oil change, I asked them to check out the sound because it seems to be getting louder and they found a fluid leak in the transmission. They are not sure if this is the problem or if there is something further going on. So I figured I would reach out on here to see if anyone has any advice or a similar problem because I know people have been able to help my girlfriend on the Ford Escape Forum so I'm hoping to have some luck here also!
Thanks!
