DEFEAT! A Ford Fusion Hybrid HF35 transmission we could not fix! 

So most of these were due to a leak, lack of fluids. I know 2013-2016 had some bearing issues.

Hi Chip, this was wild to see how the bearing just completely disintegrated. Then of course the alignment of parts is compromised and the gears fail. Question for you, I have a 2016 Mkz Hybrid with 119k on the clock. It drives and runs fantastically and has been well maintained overall. However over the last few months I have noticed a slight groaning noise when going through right hand curves at say 50+ MPH coming from the drivers side front wheel area. No similar noise when going through left hand curves or when driving in straight lines. Do you think this could be as simple as a wheel bearing starting to go bad, or would an HF-35 make this kind of noise if the internal bearings were starting to go out? - Thanks!
