Note: Expert/Manufacturer recommended solutions are offered for problems encountered.
Misalignment of Camshaft Caps
Idling may be high [2k rpm] and may rev higher when clutch is depressed. Misalignment of camshaft caps may cause a ticking noise. Grinding or clicking noise may be heard from the front end under cold conditions. These can be set right by replacing axle shafts and camshaft caps.
Anti Theft Alarm
Rarely, the vehicle may fail to start, along with a glowing anti theft alarm. This is caused due to interference with the RF devices integrated to shopping carts. Leaks from the power steering column are caused due to the loose banjo bolt at the rack and pinion unit. Replacing the bolt should solve this problem. Transmission noise can be heard while accelerating at high speeds. Installing a damper with the shifter cable will reduce this noise.
In spite of these issues, 2006 Ford Fusion reliability is high and can strike a chord with its buyers.
