You're a rockstar for posting this. Yes, there is virtually NO information in the forums or elsewhere. Thank you for this!

[@noahneutral7557]

Wish you were in AZ! A local ford dealer wants nearly $10k to fix this an a couple of other issues on my 2013 C-Max. The Transmission died after 102,000 miles.

[@timmymackay600]

I’ve been waiting so long for this content. Thank you!

[@Jster3334]

Literally was wondering what was happening with my car. Thanks for the help.

[@user-wk8yf8mt9s]

Great video & information - Thank You !🙂

[@srmatte1]

Exactly what my Fusion just started doing. 185K miles. So Ford must charge at least 4K to do this job. Time for a new car

[@kutayakcar7280]

Hi, thanks for the video. Does 2020 Ford Escape hybrid e-cvt have the similar problem?

[@geraldc867]

My local transmission shop says no one is rebuilding these HF35 transmissions, so good for you. They said Ford is asking $8.5k for a new one, just today. My 2014 FFE with 107k miles has a lot of whine while driving, especially with regen, but is mostly quiet at idle. I've just changed the ATF for the 2nd time in 15k miles, and this time added some Motorkote (7 oz) and now it is quieter, but not quiet.

[@richardwrynn824]

Do the previous years fusion 10-12 hybrids have the same transmission, and bearing problem?

[@geraldc867]

How well did the rebuilt transmission work out 4 months later. Is it quiet?

[@Dmytrikkk]

Thank You !!!

[@mmm4638]

Actually it's 12 total. The other side has 8 bearings that go bad as well depends 2 or 4s or 6s. These four in the back also need replaced but front is the problem all the time in my experience

[@performancerdllc2585]

Great video, My experience Is the Ford engineer required the wrong ATF. That roller bearing should never fail in proper fluid. Roller bearings just like that bearing will operate for years with small grease inserted. Great video.

[@warrens6479]

Anyone know what would happen if I did not get this bearing replaced? Would it cause catastrophic failure of the unit?

[@deontecooper6152]

I wish you was in Florida, this just took down my car New Years Eve.

[@hybridandelectriccarsales9703]

Only a few hours away near Nashville. We can have your car shipped in for only a few $100.

[@SBLLLC]

What was the cost and part numbers and names of the bearings that you replaced

[@randywardle4406]

Thanks for the video! My 2017 ford fusion hybrid is having a transmission bearing noise from 30 to 50 mph and not at a park position you were showing. Where do you get the bearings and races from ? I have been unable to find those parts anywhere.

[@hybridandelectriccarsales9703]

You get the bearings directly from Ford.

[@vic619SD]

Yeah my ford fusion hybrid 2014 makes the same noise. There are 2 problems one are bearings and the other is the generator. The bearings got replaced and still makes that squeaking noise. They told me the right way to get it fix is to replace the transmission. There is no parts for the generator. It’s a bad transmission design by ford. By the way, even thou You replace the transmission it will still have the same problem eventually.

[@SBLLLC]

My 2014 ford fusion hybrid has the same issue. How much do you charge to transport from Lithonia, Ga for this repair for $2,995?

[@SBLLLC]

Would this issue cause you to need a new transmission

[@ephremeyasu7188]

Thank you for sharing this video,I have similar issues 2017 ford fusion hybrid so how much is it to fix

[@pjleash]

Same here, 2017 FF Hybrid SE, and it just started at 178K miles. I believe he said $3450 at the end of the video.

[@ronaldpaxton6627]

Do you have a part number for the bearings

[@vivianorios2637]

How many Miles?

[@piercer2]

Do the energi plug in hybrid aux oil pumps go bad? My wife’s 2014 charges normal but over the last month or so the EV mode doesn’t stay on, meaning the engine kicks on, and I’m curious if the aux oil pump is failing , forcing the engine turn on to keep the transaxle lubricated. The Ford dealer says it’s the BECM…

[@hybridandelectriccarsales9703]

Not the pump. Ford dealer is probably correct.

[@user-pr4ec9sd5e]

Здравствуйте, я живу в России мой форд тоже издаёт такие звуки. Можете написать какие подшибник вы поставили и номер детали. Буду благодарен Спасибо

[@sanjusanjay1617]

My car makes the same noise as well, can anyone please suggest me what to do, how to do. It just travelled 118k miles and before broke down it had gave 42 miles per gallon.

[@Bonkeyable]

Is this the same transmission as a C-MAX.. if so are both the energi version and regular hybrid version the same. Or do they have different gear ratios or anything

[@hybridandelectriccarsales9703]

The Hybrid versions of both the Fusion and Cmax share the same transmission. The Energi versions share the same transmissions. And yes different gear ratios, 2.5 vs 2.9. Parts are not compatible between the transmissions.

[@Bonkeyable]

Thank you very much. I fixed this today same exact noise if it wasn't for your video I don't know what I would have done. I had a donor transmission from a regular CMAX and I thought I could put it in a CMAX energi I realized right off the bat it wasn't compatible because of a lower transmission fluid line. Thanks to you I was able to make a split decision to use the bearing instead. All is well it runs and sounds great. However now I wish I could just buy that same bearing so I can put the donor transmission back together and keep it as a spare . Where could I buy the bearing by itself?

[@Sohjiboi]

I am getting a noise when the ICE is running that is kinda loud and whine, but it does not do it when the electric motor is on. Would that be a separate problem from this?

[@hybridandelectriccarsales9703]

Same problem. Gas engine must be running to hear the bad bearing. You need a rebuild

[@oluskloc]

Why this happens? Not enough lubrication/not changing oil? Too small bearing to hold the load? Overheat?

[@YOutubewatcher-fo5xg]

Probably because of the oil velocity goes thinner after time if you dont change out the fluid?

[@8jordan]

Where did you source the bearings from? And could you get back to me about prices for sending one In for repair so I can weigh my options? Also what tool did you use to pull and press the bearings on and off? Does it work well? Planning this repair for spring if it doesn't explode before then

[@hybridandelectriccarsales9703]

You get the bearings directly from Ford. We charge $2995 to pull and rebuild. I sell the rebuild kit for $995. If you brought me the transmission I would charge $600 in labor for the rebuild + $995 the rebuild kit. I will not install your parts.

[@progressivehouseclusive3835]

where's your location?

[@boanh1149]

Excellent post. Can you please provide more information about the full bearing kit you are selling - price, List of parts in the kit, phone number, contact name, special tool needed to pull bearings etc. Thank you

[@artdeco7091]

Any news? My car have the sane issue i have no ideas where to start 😢

[@zira_fluff4105]

Thanks for posting as it was very informative. I do all my own repairs typically, but this one seems beyond my capability ATM. From your experience, at what mileage does the owner expect transmission bearing failure ?

[@hybridandelectriccarsales9703]

100,000 if the fluid has never been changed.

[@YOutubewatcher-fo5xg]

How often should the tranny fluid be changed on the fusion hybrids? Is it a tranny flush and fill? Or drain and fill? THank you for your information!@@hybridandelectriccarsales9703

[@juliapedroza3982]

How much does it cost to get this fixed? I have a 2013 Ford Fusion SE Hybrid and my transmission makes a weird noise which I’m now sure it’s the bearings?

[@dakotaschultz2058]

Dude if you find out let me know because I have the exact same care and the exact same issue!

[@liteflexin8129]

It sounds like it’s still making the same noise after the fix

[@thomasmica2856]

what cars use the same gearbox?

[@hybridandelectriccarsales9703]

Fusion, Cmax, Hybrid and Energi. All 4 cars use the same case. gear ratios differ.

[@franciscotellez564]

Dude thank you for the content this cars are trash. Been waiting forever for this. Thanks. How much do you think a job like this will cost?

[@hybridandelectriccarsales9703]

KZbin special: We charge $3495 for the pull and rebuild.

[@pjleash]

Has anyone tried to get these bearings from Ford yet? Do they sell them?

[@Stark81766]

Those are rotor bearings, not stator. The rotor as in the name rotates, that stator as in the name is stationary.

[@LuisLeon-xs6hw]

Same page here .. where did you got the bearings pls???

[@hybridandelectriccarsales9703]

I get the bearings directly from Ford. You need your use the parts catalog. I also sell the full bearing kit for $995 which includes everything that needs to be replaced.

[@wladik911]

what is the repair price?

[@hybridandelectriccarsales9703]

$2995

[@ostafon1]

Why wouldn’t you just post or mentioned part number that you used ?? You want everyone to call you to figure this out ?? Crazy …

[@Twinjeremy]

Damn.... $3,495 to fix this?? My Fusion Energei is probably only worth 6,000.... Welp, if I hear that noise I guess I'll consider it basically totaled.

[@MikeMik86]

Mine started at about 75k and I'm currently at 153k, with a $6,000 bb value I'll probably just run it till it dies with a $3k repair bill

[@hivn58]

do you have the energi or regulat hybrid

[@MikeMik86]

@@hivn58 Just a regular 2017 SE hybrid

[@DanielHoffmann-tg1kg]

Have you flushed or change the fluid to help you keep plugging along? I have a 2015 Hybrid w 110,000 and wondering how long it could last.

[@MikeMik86]

@@DanielHoffmann-tg1kg Just changed it at about 125k when the left front cv shaft seal and right CV shaft went bad. I will add that I drive mostly on the highway with a bit of idling in the winter. If I remember I'll come back and note when it dies, I might get ambitious and pull it myself.

[@maghrib1234]

Hey Mike, i am having the same problem, so you put another 78k with the noise, or have you replaced the transmission?
