1. Engine check light and telltale "wrench" light illuminate. While driving in hot whether the above occurred 5 times in a 54 mile trip. Once illuminated, the car has no throttle response and idles at 1000 RPM (limp mode as described by ford). The 'limp mode' does not provide enough power to pull over and stop safely out of traffic. In odor to have the eprom reset, the operator must place the car in park; turn off the engine for approx. 2 minutes. I found that turning off the AC, thereby reducing the ambient temperature in the engine compartment, that the condition resolved itself long enough to deliver the car to the dealership for diagnostics. Dealership found that the 'throttle body" unit was faulty. Initially, I was informed that this would be covered by warranty. Now ford has changed the stated 'covered under warranty" statement. Subsequently, the 'throttle body' units are on back order for 10-12 days. Sounds like this occurring frequently to "throttle bodies" with no stock and back ordered. Bottom line ford may need to investigate and prepare for a recall.
2010 Ford Fusion fuel system complaints
Page 25 of 25: complaints 701 to 705 of 705, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My 2010 fusion has experienced multiple issues with the check engine light. It is always the same PCM code of p0456 which deals with evaporative emissions system. The servicing dealer does not know where the problem is nor how to fix it- even after calling tech support and having a field service engineer assigned. While the light is on, making left hand turns is downright frightful as the engine loses power and the car feels as if it does not want to go. One would think that after five repair attempts in 14 months the issue would be corrected. This last time it took less than three days and 122 miles for the issue to reappear. There is a tsb for the issue but apparently that did not fix my vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion hybrid. The contact stated that she noticed gas pouring out of her gas tank. She had the vehicle towed to the dealership and there was a hole in the tank about the size of a quarter. The fire department had to be called out due to the fuel leakage. She did not know how the puncture could have happened. She called the manufacturer and was told that they would compile a report but offered no further assistance at the time. The current and failure mileages were approximately 20,000.
Trouble starting like the starter is defective, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. Automatic transmission that jerks when shifting.
