NHTSA Complaint #10633688 — 2011 FORD EDGE

I WAS DRIVING 25 MILES PER HOUR ON A MAJOR ROADWAY AND FOR NO REASON THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND GASP. AFTER I LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE I COULD ONLY DRIVE ONE MILE AN HOUR TO TRY TO GET OFF THE ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I DID NOT GET IN AN ACCIDENT BUT IT COULD HAVE EASILY HAPPENED. A YELLOW WARNING WRENCH ICON APPEARED. I TURNED OFF THE CAR. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY BECAUSE NO ERROR CODES WERE FOUND AND IT WAS DIRTY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ONE WEEK LATER WHEN I WAS TRAVELING 50 MILES PER HOUR. I TRIED TO DRIVE TO A DEALERSHIP TO KEEP THE WRENCH ICON ON BUT THE CAR STALLED. I RESTARTED AND THE PROBLEM RESOLVED BUT I CONTINUED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. ONCE AGAIN THERE WAS NO CODE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND IT IS HAPPENING TO OTHERS AS WELL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM LUCKY IT DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BY FORD. *TR
