The vehicle no longer operates in electric mode, using the high voltage battery to power the electric motor. This is a major safety concern since there is no assist from the electric drive motor. When accelerating from a dead stop, there is a significant lag before the gasoline motor engages and provides enough power to move the car. This is especially pronounced when making a left turn against traffic.

While driving in heavy traffic on a hot (90 degree) day in phoenix az a red triangle warning light came on and said to stop immediately, then the engine quit. I was fortunate to have a place to coast to and stop. I turned off the ignition and re-started the car. It ran fine for a few miles, then it stopped again. When troubleshooting, the code, poa7c came up. (motor electric overtemp) the water pump for cooling the electric drive motor was replaced approximately a year ago because of the same code, but the engine didn't quit at that time. I noticed online that this is a very common and dangerous problem with ford hybrid cars. I called a ford dealer, and they told me that there is no recall for this problem on my vehicle.

My car lost power while traversing a busy intersection and I had to pull over. Could restart, but then it happened again. Towed to dealers, $500 to replace throttle body and purge valve. Drove 1 day and similar events occurred. Dealer unable to get help from ford company. Very dangerous to have a car just quit while driving. On a highway this could have been catastrophic. There are many complaints on line of a similar nature with ford fusions from multiple years and I am very frustrated that ford has not addressed a potentially disastrous safety issue. And I still don't have a car!

Throttle body defect. Vehicle lost power on highway and would not go over 50 MPH. The vehicle went into safety mode, also known as "limp home mode". Dealer replaced throttle body, which solved the problem. The ford "customer satisfaction program" involving the defective throttle body does not cover hybrid vehicles like mine, even though it has the same defective part. I complained to ford and they created case #cas15334188.

The 2010 ford fusion hybrid keeps going into "limp" mode even on the highway. This causes power loss and loss of acceleration. This can be at anytime. This keeps happening more and more and ford does not know the cause or resolve.

The car stopped while driving through the free way@55 MPH. Do not accelerate. The engine vibrate and car shaking. After turn off and turned on the engine few times, the car was performing fine. The dealer checked. No malfunction code was detected. They told that 95% it is due to the clogging of electronic throttle valve. So replaced. I asked and they showed the old one. I observed no clogging or grease on the valve. It was clean. This parts/or throttle valve system was functioning. The car has 85,000 mile.I spoke to ford about this safety issue. They don't do any because the warranty expire.
