NHTSA Complaint #10553279 — 2011 FORD EDGE

WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR, THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED, ALTHOUGH IT WOULD MOVE AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AT A ROUGH IDLE, MAYBE 1 MILE PER HOUR, NO MATTER HOW HARD THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED. SIMULTANEOUSLY, A YELLOW WRENCH WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND LET THE ENGINE RUN, IT REMAINED RUNNING ROUGH AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. I CONTINUED FOR ABOUT A MINUTE, THEN SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. AFTER RESTART, THE CAR RAN NORMALLY WITH NO WARNING INDICATORS. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALER WHERE THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE I SHUT THE CAR OFF, ANY ERROR CODES WERE CLEARED. THEY COULD ALSO NOT PERFORM A REPAIR IF THEY DID NOT KNOW THE CAUSE, ALTHOUGH THEY SAID IT IS PROBABLY THE THROTTLE BODY. WITHOUT ERROR CODES, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM, I WAS FORTUNATE TO NOT BE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60 MILES PER HOUR. *TR
