NHTSA Complaint #10587571 — 2012 FORD EDGE

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS STARTING IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR MY CAR STARTED STALLING AND WOULD JUST CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. IT HAPPENED MANY TIMES AFTER THAT SO I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FIRESTONE BECAUSE MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY SUGGESTED IT MAY BE BAD GAS AND THEY DID A THROTTLE BODY FLUSH. SO BETWEEN THE FLUSH AND USING MID GRADE GAS FROM A DIFFERENT STATION IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 1,000 MILES THEN THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. MY CAR WOULD SHAKE AND REV AND ON MANY TIMES CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, THANK GOD IT NEVER CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY WITH MY 2YR OLD DAUGHTER BEING WITH ME MOST OF THE TIME. I TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER AND AFTER THE $100 DIAGNOSTIC THEY TOLD ME THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE AND FORD HAD RECALLED MANY THROTTLE BODIES RECENTLY JUST NOT FOR MY CAR YET AND THE THROTTLE BODY IS NOT PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN SO IT'S NOT COVERED. SO I HAD TO PAY $600 THAT I REALLY DIDN'T HAVE TO GET THIS ISSUE CORRECTED AFTER PAYING OVER $500 LATE LAST YEAR TO FIX THE BRAKE BOOSTER ON A 2012 VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THIS NEW THROTTLE BODY ISSUE IS THE LAST STRAW. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT AGAIN. *TR
