Sounds emanating from the Ford Fusion Hybrid's engine, like knocking, could be attributed to using improper fuel (with too low of an octane rating), a malfunctioning or damaged timing chain, or a blockage in the air filter. If you detect a clicking sound, it might indicate a problem with the valves or valve lifters. Hissing noises commonly result from a vacuum hose leak or an issue with the cooling system. Sudden noises appearing to come from various engine regions could be linked to a failing water pump, A/C compressor, or power steering pump. During startup troubles, a blockage in the fuel filter or catalytic converter, or issues with the spark plugs and wires could be the culprit.
There could be various reasons why a Ford Fusion Hybrid engine is producing strange noises, but the most probable explanation is a malfunctioning electric motor.
