Check Engine Light On problems of the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid

While driving at 65 mph yellow wrench light appeared and vehicle lost all power. This was on a busy highway. Pulled over and restarted car. Vehicle operated smoothly. Two days later same issue, now with yellow wrench and check engine light. Vehicle will not accelerate above 30 mph. I took my vehicle to local auto parts store and pulled codes myself (115) dollars cheaper then the dealership would have done it. Throttle body control failure. This is the same engine that has extended warranty for alot of VIN numbers but my car has this issue amd isnt covered.

Driving on highway w/ cruise control engaged at 65 mph speed. Suddenly car loses complete acceleration & propulsion ability, resulting in car to slow down rather suddenly. I was able to pull onto off ramp in my case, but if I was in a different location, I would have definitely been in a very dangerous situation/serious accident. I turned off vehicle and restarted the vehicle a few minutes later. Proceeded to the highway again, experienced the problem again, this time I was only able to pull over to the left shoulder, which was quite narrow to begin with. "wrench symbol" appeared the second time and stayed on with check engine light on. Car was unsafe to drive further. The check engine trouble shooting codes I had were p2111 and p2112. Cause of this issue is known to Ford motor but they refuse to include hybrid cars in their "consumer satisfaction program 13n03". Throttle body control module senor, including the entire assembly is defective as Ford has agreed to replace this on millions of cars across various model years, including the fusion 2010, but not Fusion Hybrid versions. Ford states they will not repair problem that I experienced recently under this established program which NHTSA was proponent for. The defective part in question is the throttle body assembly and sensor which is no different than the part in the non-hybrid version for the same model year. Real hazard to driver and I was lucky that I was not rear ended as a result or in a serious car accident from this known defective part. Ford motor must be required to notify all affected owners who will/have experienced this problem to have it repaired at their expense, as this is a serious safety issue that must be taken seriously given number of vehicles that are involved that will experience this. I experienced this at mileage of 75k but I have read that others have had this happen at much lower mileage.

When operating the car on the freeway, the car suddenly lost power and only could achieve 45 mph in spite of the accelerator being floored. When eventually stopped, the engine would surge and shudder periodically. The check engine light came on. Pulling the trouble code revealed p2112 which is a throttle body error.

On 2 different days, driving on freeway, my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid, did not respond to accelerator demand, I. E. Failed to speed up as commanded, the wrench light illuminated but no check engine light. This problem seems intermittent, dealer cannot pin point the problem but replacing the electronic throttle body(etb) fixed the problem. I found many similar complaints online. Nhtsa action no. Pe 13003 which identifies cars models affected includes my car, and the action resulted in a customer satisfaction program that extended the warranty on the etb. However, Ford claims my VIN is not included. I have found others in the same situation and have filed complaints, e. G. Nhtsa id number 10778131, and carcomplaints. Com.

I have had multiple incidents with my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid where I have been driving and the engine will suddenly lose power and the throttle becomes unresponsive. Some of these incidents occurred during freeway driving. When this happened, an orange wrench would appear on my dash display, sometimes accompanied by the check engine light. After doing some research, I found that this is a known electronic throttle body issue. Per NHTSA action number : pe13003, Ford had issued an extended warranty program to cover replacement of this defective part, but they elected to exclude the Fusion Hybrid. Upon contacting Ford customer service and speaking with a supervisor. I was advised that Ford was excluding the hybrid model because its 2. 5l engine is different than the 2. 5l engines in the non-hybrid models. While there may be differences in the engine, this is still the same defective part number that is in all of the other Ford vehicles that received the extended warranty, and according to the service manager at the dealership where I had the car serviced, the car incorrectly returned the same error code (p2112, "throttle body stuck closed") that the covered vehicles returned. The service manager advised that it makes no sense that my vehicle would be excluded and advised that I contact Ford customer service. I was advised by customer service that even though the part is defective when installed on some vehicles, it may not be defective when installed on others. That said, the part displayed the same pattern of failure, the same symptoms and the same error codes as the part covered under the extended warranty. It's the same defective part. It makes no sense that 1. 6 million throttle bodies may be faulty on non-hybrid vehicles, but the same part happens to be okay on all 60,000 Fusion Hybrids. I was forced to make the repair out of pocket.

During highway speeds, the car suddenly decelerated to around 20 mph and showed the check engine light which later scanned to be the dtc p2112 throttle actuator control system stuck closed. The NHTSA has action number pe13003 which is the same issue and was closed. Ford has issued a csp 13n03 but it does not include my VIN number but should. I called Ford and they confirmed that my VIN is not included but gave no reason why.

Gas engine sputtering and essentially no power when stepped on accelerator. Turned car off/on, still sputtering and the check engine light came on. Able to limp back to garage. Two hours later engine running but check engine light still on. Initially at mechanics running ok, but then sputtered for them as well. System check suggested issue with fuel injectors, though given other reports of throttle body problems will need to further investigate.

Driving down the highway at 55 mph, the car suddenly lost power and started decelerating. A wrench light came on in the dashboard. I pulled the car onto the shoulder of the road and turned it off for a few minutes. When I restarted the car it seemed fine so I continued to drive toward my destination. Almost fifteen miles later the car suddenly lost power again and this time I was traveling on a two lane road going about 40 mph. This time the wrench light came on as well as the check engine light. After pulling over and restarting the car this time the check engine light stayed on for the next day or two. We took the car to the Ford dealership a few days later after this occurred four times in two weeks. We learned there was a recall on the electronic throttle body that causes this problem for the Ford fusion but not for the hybrid version. This part is not part of the hybrid system and should be replaced on all hybrids as well as regular fusions. We paid $509 for the repair.
