NHTSA Complaint #10662921 — 2013 FORD EDGE

THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES AND ALL THREE TIMES WERE DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND I WAS LUCKY TO NOT BE HIT FROM BEHIND. I WILL BE DRIVING AND I SUDDENLY GET A WRENCH LIGHT ON MY DASH BOARD AND THEN LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE MY CAR AND IT BASICALLY COASTS TO A STOP AND I CAN FEEL A SHAKING/RUMBLING FROM THE ENGINE. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF, I CAN TURN IT BACK ON AND IT IS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED AND THE LIGHT GOES AWAY AND I CAN CONTINUE DRIVING HOME. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CAN ONLY FIX IT IF THEY SEE THE WRENCH LIGHT ON SO THEY CAN PULL THE CODE, MEANING I HAVE TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHILE STILL ON. ONLY PROBLEM IS EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED HAS BEEN AFTER WORK AT NIGHT WHEN THE DEALERS ARE ALREADY CLOSED. I AM NOW NERVOUS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND AM AFRAID TO GET ON HIGHWAYS. *TR
