NHTSA Complaint #10461959 — 2007 FORD EDGE

WHILE DRIVING MY '07 FORD EDGE ON THE EXPRESSWAY I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 60 MPH AND BEGAN STALLING. I EXITED THE EXPRESSWAY TO NOTICE THIS BURNING SMELL COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF MY CAR. I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT TO A SAFE PLACE TO PARK WHEN IT JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A WELL KNOW AUTO SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT AN IGNITION COIL WAS BURNED AND THE REASON MY CAR STALLED. I HAD THE IGNITION COIL REPLACED AND THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD IT TOWED TO ANOTHER SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE CRANK SHAFT AND CAM SHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I PAID FOR THESE SERVICES AND FINALLY WAS TOLD THE COMPUTER ON THE CAR WAS BURNED AND THIS IS THE REASON THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT START. FINALLY MY CAR HAS BEEN TOWED TO FORD AND I AM AWAITING ITS FATE. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO YEARS AND THIS IS THE SECOND ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WITH THIS VEHICLE. AT FIRST, I WAS CHANGING REAR TURN SIGNALS ALMOST 1-2 A WEEK. I PURCHASED MY EDGE JANUARY 2010 AND HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY JULY 2010. AFTER READING OTHER FORUMS I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL FIRES THAT THIS SUV COULD PRODUCE.
