Can Ford drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Noises toward the back of your Ford Fusion, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Ford Fusion differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Can you reset your Fusion’s malfunction warning light at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended.

Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

All About 2006 Ford Fusion Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Fusion's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Ford, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Fusion and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2006 Ford Fusion to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Ford's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Ford Fusion Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2006 Ford Fusion drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Ford Fusion may need driveshaft attention if you feel vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Ford Fusion doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2006 Ford Fusion? Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
