Consumer Description
Hello, on Saturday May 27th, I took my car in for a regular oil change and thereafter, the rattling noise started the next day, continued rattle had me bring the vehicle back to the dealership on Monday, June 5th. I was informed that my fusion rattling sound was due to the engine flexplate being cracked causing damaging to the transmission oil pump and torque converter. Used chassis ears to pinpoint noise within the transmission bellhousing. Engine flexplat cracked causing out ot round rotation and damage to the transmission. Required transmission and engine flexpalate replacement with alignment due to subframe removal. I looked up online for recalls and found a Ford Customer Satisfaction Program 22N12 for 2019-2020 Fusion - Rattle Noise at the Transmission Bellhousing Area - Flexplate Cracks (dated 08-26-22). Here is the link to the online document found: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10218899-0001.pdf. I purchased this vehicle used in 2021. If this issue affects other Ford years, why is it not included in the recall for older Ford Fusion models especially if the issue is the same as that of the 2019-2022 models? Thank you
