#30 of 67 Front Brake Clanking Noise by celticbloodlin Dec 17, 2007 (6:53 pm)
2006 Fusion (40,000 miles) is making a clanking noise the first time I press the brake pedal after changing directions. After the first brake pedal application, no more noise. Did some research and came up with some similar issues on other cars, seems like noise is caused by brake pad clips not holding brake pad firmly and the noise is the pad moving.   Took it to local dealer and dealer says the problem is after market brake pads. The problem is that I've never had the brakes serviced. Advisor says he looked at the pads and they are practically brand new...asks me if perhaps someone else drives the car that could have had new pads put on. Says only way to fix is do a complete brake job on front...new pads, turn rotors.   Has anyone else had this issue with the clanking noise, and is there any safety issue, or just an annoyance? Why the dealer can't just replace the pad clips, I don't know. Well, yes I do, that service would not generate much of a fee.   Look forward to thoughts.

Replying to: celticbloodlin (Dec 17, 2007 6:53 pm) Did you look at the pads and are they brand new? That would be a dead giveaway. But I've never agreed with the logic that you always replace the pads and turn the rotors every time. I've replaced pads only with no problems assuming the rotors aren't damaged and aren't vibrating when applying the brakes.
#32 of 67 had some problems by cjones6 Dec 20, 2007 (3:08 pm)
at 4800 miles had trans, flywheel and clutch replaced. the alignment pins from the flywheel had broken off and went through the trans, caused a nice oil leak on my friends driveway. (actually clutch fluid). talked with some ford engineers and said there had been only a few other cases of this happening with early fusions and that the cause was improper installation.   also noticed that the side airbags in the seat where not that great of fit, I can see the airbag itself   other than that the car is great, good quality, the body lines are good, Replies to this message: torquelover (Jan 08, 2009 11:44 am)

Dealers have to follow the service requirements from Ford. Ford says to turn the rotors when pads are replaced, dealers have to do so.   I was told that the rotors have to be turned so that they wear in the pad right?   Mark
#34 of 67 turning by cjones6 Dec 31, 2007 (9:33 pm)
well yes you turn a rotor to fix the out of round condition and the parallelism, plus it does help a new pad wear, and makes the rotor all smooth and a non-directional finish.   also its one of those things that if your doing pads then you should do rotors at the same time   Chris

#36 of 67 rodent bite wire under hood by chenlpu Mar 31, 2008 (11:49 am)
This is a brand new Fusion 08 SE and engine service and transmission service lights are on. We took car back to dealer and they said that some rodent just bite wires under the hood. Such thing is not covered by warranty and we have to pay it.   It is interesting that our neighbor's Fusion was attacked by squirrels too (told by the same dealer). I am wondering whether this is a design problem from Ford or not ?   3x Replies to this message: blumstein (Mar 31, 2008 12:50 pm)

Replying to: chenlpu (Mar 31, 2008 11:49 am) Yes, it is. Ford didn't realize at the time of the car's creation that the word "fusion" just happens to mean "diner" in rodent language.   You'll notice that there are no complaints from Milan owners on this problem.   Paul   {PS: This is an early April Fool's Day post}
