NHTSA Complaint #10701507 — 2007 FORD EDGE

LET ME FIRST START OF BY SAYING THAT I GET MY CAR SERVICED ON TIME, EVERY TIME. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN SHAKING BADLY. NOTICED THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER RIGHT AWAY AND LOOKED IT UP IN THE OWNER MANUAL. BASED ON THE INFO, I CALLED TO SCHEDULE TO TAKE MY CAR IN THE NEXT MORNING. I PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND EXITED THE HIGHWAY. I DROVE LOCAL SO I COULD KEEP MY SPEED TO 20 MILES. THEN WHEN 4 MINUTES FROM HOME, WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, THE CAR WENT DEAD. I TRIED TO START IT, BUT NOTHING. WHEN I NOTICE A BURNING TYPE OF SMELL I STOPPED AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT ALL 6 COILS HAD MELTED ONTO THE MAIN PC OF THE CAR. HE FOUND IT EXTREMELY ODD THAT ALL 6 BURNED AT THE SAME TIME. HE SAID IT'S USUALLY 1, 2 OR 3, BUT NEVER HEARD OF ALL 6. *TR
