Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 FORD EDGE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IT SUDDENLY LOSS ALL ACCELERATION DROPPING DOWN TO A CRAWL. THIS LOSS OF SPEED ALMOST CAUSED THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO CRASH INTO MY REAR END. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN MY CAR OFF AND THEN RESTART. IT TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WHICH THEY ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH. IT IS BEING RECALLED ON SOME FORD MODELS BUT NOT ON THE EDGE. I THINK THAT THIS IS CRAZY. IF THEY KNOW THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WHY NOT FIX IT ON ALL MODELS. THANK GOODNESS I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH THAT THE DRIVER BEHIND ME WAS PAYING ATTENTION. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE IT COULD HAD SERIOUSLY INJURED SOMEBODY. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSB LOOKS INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
