NHTSA Complaint #10631336 — 2011 FORD EDGE

WAS DRIVING IN BUSY RESIDENTIAL AREA AND THE CAR STARTED TO SHUDDER AND EVENTUALLY LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE AND THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED A WRENCH SYMBOL. IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I THEN TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND UPON RESTARTING WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE SHORT DISTANCE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER PERFORMED A PCM REPROGRAM. PER THE DIAGNOSTIC NOTES, AFTER GETTING A CODE OF P260F THEY REPROGRAMMED THE CAR TO THE LATEST CALIBRATION, TEST DROVE IT (APPROX 9 MILES) AND NO SIGN OF THE PROBLEM. I PICKED THE CAR UP ON FRIDAY, SEPT 5. TODAY, SEPT 7, 2014, JUST 2 DAYS AFTER "FIXING" THE PROBLEM, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. SIMILAR SPEED, CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND UNRESPONSIVE TO ACCELERATOR. FORTUNATELY, I WAS AT NEARLY THE SAME LOCATION SO I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, THIS APPEARS TO A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE FORD EDGE OWNER COMMUNITY. HOWEVER, IF THIS ISSUE WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY, THE OUTCOME MIGHT BE VERY DIFFERENT. HOPING SOMEONE CAN HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. *TR
