Thanks for the video instruction. I bought my Fusion Energi Titanium on a Friday night. I did not know till the next day when I was looking through the trunk and could not find the spare tire. Ofciurse there was no jack either. Luckily for over 4 years now I have not had a puncture. This video makes me feel a littl easier about what to do if there is a problem.
Once I saw there was no jack at all in my 2020 fusion i went on ebay and found a jack and donut spare fron a 2017 fusion and put that in my car. Good video
thanks, man, I needed to learn this to return my rental ford that got a flat tire today, just a question, do I need to take the tire out to do the air as I don't have a jack to lift the car.
That tire only had 30PSI and not the 40 it needed to have, it's the standing pressure that matters not the pressure when the compressor is running. You can see the flat belly on the tire when he took out the inflator.
Yes and yes. Dollars those glues that are used in fix a flat materials are not washed off of the rim thoroughly they can bore microscopic holes through the wheel and you may experience air leakage in the future and not be able to pinpoint it. The glue dries out the rubber in the tire over a course of time. Thanks for watching
The tire shop should. Unless you are doing the repair yourself in which case you should Have the plug kit is kit there and ready to go with the plug already into the plunger and the airpump ready to pump air back into that way is that way it takes less time to fill the tire backup with air. Also you near impossible to see after you remove it.
Two comments: 1) There is more to properly injecting the sealant/glue and reinflating the tire than what is shown in the video. Read the instructions. 2) There is no need to remove the wheel from the vehicle. That is kind of the point, and why there is not jack/lug nut wrench.
Omg you must have totally missed the part where I said that we went to get the spare out and noticed there wasn't one. It's a rental car and the customer said it had a spare before I arrived. Because he was assuming it would have one. So I arrived and removed the flat before noticing the no spare tire deal. That's kinda the point of this video. Ya know to show all those who also may assume the vehicle has a spare. Thanks for watching.
Not when you have a leak and want to make it anywhere. In this situation the max the tire can hold is best. That way if any should leak you will have more. Thanks for watching.
Thanks on the comment about the lugnut wrench. i will grind it down to fit. i had the same problem on my 90 ford 150. Where is the mobilty kit located in my truck, the only part of the felt i haven't taken out is all the way up behind the backseat.
@@yardmandg54 Thanks for watching and commenting. Underneath your back seat on your truck you will find a black plastic wing nut under the seat you must unscrew that on the driver's side and also on the passenger side then you will remove Is the felt lining storage compartment. Underneath that felt lining is a black plastic case that looks like a gun case you will have to slide that out and then open it to find your tools.
biggest load of crap I've ever seen. not including a spare tire and instead using flat repair glue which pisses off most tire stores. Wow ford. Just wow.
The tire is punctured and just got repaired. It's going to lose some of the air I just put in. If I put the best ride psi I'm surely going to end up well below that psi recommendation before the sealant does it's job. Thanks for watching.
Why? I doubt people keep the same brand of stock tires throughout the life of the car. I rather go with what the tire says. The sticker is only correct for the tires it came with
If you wondered what happened to the TIRE INFLATOR that was in my trunk you haven't seen the news: Man threw gasoline on Tire Inflator and set it on fire. I have a 2017 Chevy Cruze. It came without spare. Luckily, with help from a Tire Shop I got an exact Match tire and wheel. I'm using it as my spare and YOU SHOULD DO THESAME, unless you like your silly ass electric car getting TOW!!
Ford says you'll need to replace the valve stem and tire pressure sensor if you use the fix a flat in the pump. so they dont give you a spare and make it cost you money out of pocket to fix your tire with their air pump...smh. also, PSI on this Car is 36.
Wasn't knocking the vid. I actually watched to make sure I was using my compressor right. I have the same car.. But u weren't filling a spare in this vid. U were filling the rear passenger tire. The tire wall said not to exceed 40 psi. The recommended PSI for stock tires on this car is 36. Just adding some additional info.
No spare, no jack, no lug wrench .............just a stupid inflation machine? What's this world coming to, just a bunch of sissies who call for assistance on their little phone? Maybe mommy can help these people. They cut corners when they came out with the small donut spare......now it's No Spare or even a jack ?...........WHAT A JOKE !
Exactly! I was fully prepared to change my tire, but couldn't find one! now me and my husband are stuck on the side of the highway waiting for a tow cause some dumbass at Ford thought taking the spare tire away was a good idea?!??!
@@pudgeUSAF it was a rental. Rentals should come with a spare regardless if the car type didn't. And I didn't know some cars didn't come with spares. Fuck off this is literally the first car I've ever driven without a spare.
You’re roadside and you are pumping up a tire by the sidewalk pressure?? WOW. You never do that EVER. You go by what the sticker says either on the door or door jam. Hahahahaha wow.
Yes, I'm Roadside and I'm using a sidewalk or maybe the sidewall to read the psi. 🤣🤣🤣 Why? Because the psi on the door is the manufacturer's best suggested psi level for most comfortable ride!!! Not max psi!!! Which is what my customer needs because he has a hole in his tire!!!! So perhaps the max instead of best for comfort would be best???!!!! What do you think Mr. Expert??? 🤣🤣🤣 Did that even cross your two brain cells??? Jeez, I just sit back and laugh when some idiot like you trolls one of my videos. Where is your channel? What videos you got? Who are you helping? What is your contribution?
LMFAO NO SPARE C'MON, NOT THAT I DRIVE FORD, found on road dead, fix or repair daily! I absolutely positively hate Ford. I never owned a Ford and I never will own crappy Ford! What the hell is wrong with these damn auto makers? No spare tire, not even a donut? Just some tire repair kit! Those shitty ass repair kit will NOT fix a blowout or punctured sidewall. Sidewall blowout due to smacking a curb or pothole CANNOT be repaired! The tire is trash, best thing to do if you own a fix and repair daily is push that peace of shit right off the edge of a cliff! The auto makers who give repair kits rather providing the much needed spare tire. But auto makers said the reason for ditching the tire and tools for just a crappy tire repair kit is to cut down on the weight of the car so the owner will save on gas. Oh so it has absolutely NOTHING to do with auto makers cutting corners to save money? A donut, tire iron and a damn jack weight all that mutch, atleast you or anybody else would NEVER notice the difference in gas savings at all, even if there were a difference in gas mileage it is totally worth that added extra 20 or so lbs to have a donut. Auto makers are getting really dirt down cheap. All cars used to come with a full size, there was no such thing as donuts. Then they started with this donut, and now these damned kids taking over are fucking things up really bad. On average, then auto maker charges the buyer $300-$400 for that spare. I drive only BMW and not only do they come with a full size spair tire, but they are mounted of orgional rims that are mounted on the car.

Great to hear!

Bro my jaw dropped when i found out i was kind of upset
Where did you buy your tire iron? I have 2 and they don't fit the lug nuts, they strip them.
thanks for this...just got a new ford and was stumped....hope this works... no spare is crazy, but that's not your fault! Thanks again.
thanks, man, I needed to learn this to return my rental ford that got a flat tire today, just a question, do I need to take the tire out to do the air as I don't have a jack to lift the car.
No you can fill on the vehicle no need to remove it. Thanks for watching.
Do you need to take the tire off to fix with the pump/glue? You said it doesn't come with a jack but unsure if its needed. Thanks
No but you should face the hole down as you fill and then drive it to get glue to coat the tire.
Is those machine one time use?
Also, how long will that glue hold up…certain miles?
No you can reuse them but you have to get more glue. Also the glue ruins your tire so plan on replacing it.
How long depends on the puncture.
That tire only had 30PSI and not the 40 it needed to have, it's the standing pressure that matters not the pressure when the compressor is running. You can see the flat belly on the tire when he took out the inflator.
Thanks I didn't know that. Much appreciated. Thanks for watching.
Also, since the car doesn't come with a jack, a more realistic scenario would be going through the whole procedure with the tire still attached.
Does that ruin the tire or the rim? Thsnks for this video!
Yes and yes. Dollars those glues that are used in fix a flat materials are not washed off of the rim thoroughly they can bore microscopic holes through the wheel and you may experience air leakage in the future and not be able to pinpoint it. The glue dries out the rubber in the tire over a course of time. Thanks for watching
This is so helpful and made the process much easier. Thank you!!
When can you pull the metal piece out of the tire?
The tire shop should. Unless you are doing the repair yourself in which case you should Have the plug kit is kit there and ready to go with the plug already into the plunger and the airpump ready to pump air back into that way is that way it takes less time to fill the tire backup with air. Also you near impossible to see after you remove it.
repair kit is not like spare replacement of foam over $80 after and ford recommends you replace tire
Yeah except when the tire blows up the kit is useless
Awesome video. Thanks so much.
Thanks for watching.
Thank you!
Thanks, good video!

Get the correct tire pressure from the sticker on the door jamb. Never the tire.
Not when you have a leak and want to make it anywhere. In this situation the max the tire can hold is best. That way if any should leak you will have more. Thanks for watching.
I want to LKQ bought me a new spare for $45 and then got me a small Jack for $14. So now I have a Jack and a new spare
That's what I always recommend. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks on the comment about the lugnut wrench. i will grind it down to fit. i had the same problem on my 90 ford 150. Where is the mobilty kit located in my truck, the only part of the felt i haven't taken out is all the way up behind the backseat.

I don't have a truck. I have a 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid. I'm just trying to locate where the mobility kit is
You did not have to remove the tire to inflate and seal.
I know, but for me, it's easy. I have a floor jack and impact, so no biggie. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated.
Yea but what if you have a blow out
Must tow it then. Stupid odd Ford or ant manufacturers to not supply a spare. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated.
Thanks bro
Keystone cops comes to mind.
did u upgrade your log nut?
Please be more clear. Thank you.
biggest load of crap I've ever seen. not including a spare tire and instead using flat repair glue which pisses off most tire stores. Wow ford. Just wow.
Best to use psi on the inside of the driver's door or gas cap not the tire.
The tire is punctured and just got repaired. It's going to lose some of the air I just put in. If I put the best ride psi I'm surely going to end up well below that psi recommendation before the sealant does it's job. Thanks for watching.

Thank you. I just find out the hard way, my daughters car doesn't come with a spare tire. 😈
Thats so dumb then they cant patch it at the tire shop. Youd have to get a new tire. Just for one nail? Thats some bull
Exactly. Imagine spending money with a company that is willing to screw you before you even leave the dealership.

What do you do if you are 150 miles from anything and the tire is SHREDDED? we pay a high price to make useful idiots happy.

Well don't buy a Mercedes....or a Jeep....because they don't have a spare either.
There's volvo's and Cadillac's and more with this same system. I agree that it's terrible, the thing is expensive to replace also
