Ford Fusion 2010: Check engine light and oil light come on - overheating and possible engine oil contamination

Hi buddy, I can well understand how you feel. I had a similar problem with my 2013 Ford Fiesta. In my case, it was the sporadic faulty communication between control units. The symptoms were similar to yours. It was definitely not a minor issue, but after the mechanic reprogrammed the ECU and cleared the fault memory, my car was running smoothly again. Don't forget to change the oil regularly to avoid future problems. Hope this helps you.

Hey, thanks for your quick reply and the helpful hints. Do you happen to remember roughly how much it cost you? And have you had any other problems with your Ford Fiesta since then? Your experience would help me a lot to decide whether it's worth keeping the car or whether it would be smarter to buy a new one. Many thanks in advance!

Hey, sure, no problem! I had to pay €955 to fix the problem with the sporadically faulty communication between the control units. It wasn't a bargain, but since then my car has been running like clockwork. And as for the engine oil contamination, which I forgot to mention: the mechanic got that under control too, so don't worry about that any more. I haven't had any more problems since then. I hope this helps you with your decision!

Wow, that sounds really reassuring. 955 € is of course a lot of money, but if I don't have to expect any further problems, I think I should consider it. You've really helped me a lot, thank you! I now have a better idea of what to expect and how best to proceed. It seems like it won't be necessary to give up my beloved Fusion after all. Thanks again!
