NHTSA Complaint #10726522 — 2011 FORD EDGE

6/4/2015 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 70 MPH AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT JOLT, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL ACCELERATION. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK. I WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THERE WAS NOTHING. THE CAR WOULD IDLE VERY ROUGH. AFTER I WOULD TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT COULD JUST BE BAD GAS. THEY SAID UNLESS ANOTHER LIGHT COMES ON OTHER THAN THE WRENCH THERE WOULD BE NOTHING THEY CAN DO IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS WOULD PERIODICALLY HAPPEN EVERY OTHER DAY UNTIL THIS WEEKEND IT HAPPENED TO ME 14 TIMES JUST THIS WEEKEND... 3 OF THESE TIMES WERE THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON MY WAY TO WORK. I WAS DRIVING DOWNHILL AND NO ACCELERATOR AND LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND THERE WAS AN 18 WHEELER BEHIND ME WHO JACKKNIFED AROUND MY CAR SINCE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER TO PULL OVER ON. THIS IS A VERY VERY BIG PROBLEM! TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND THEY CAN'T GET ME IN FOR 4 DAYS. THEY SAID REGARDLESS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALLS. I'M FINDING THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY FORD EDGES...
