Throttle Body stuck shut 2010 FFH

[dougw]

I just reported this problem to Ford too (I have a 2010 FFH) and opened a case, and I hope other hybrid owners who hit this will too. I have now had this problem twice - 10,000 miles apart! The first time, it happened going 65 MPH on an interstate. Lost power going up hill. Very scary. Was able to "limp home". It happened a couple more times, but by the time I got it to the dealer, the problem had stopped, and the codes were gone. So, they said there was nothing they could do unless I could come in with the codes still there.

 

That was 10,000 miles ago, but it happened again today. This time, I drove to the dealer in a rain storm, dropping to 15 MPH up a hill on a 55 MPH road. Again, scary and nerve racking, but I got there with the car running and they were able to pull the P2112 throttle stuck closed codes.

 

Now, they can fix the car, but they will charge me because the hybrids aren't currently covered by the customer satisfaction recall. I have reported this, as I'm sure having what reads like the identical problem to what is covered for the non-hybrid Fusions. From reading this forum, it certainly appears other hybrid owners are also experiencing the same issue. Please take the time to report the problem if you have it.

 

Thanks.
