NHTSA Complaint #10743394 — 2013 FORD EDGE

WHILE COMING OFF AN ON RAMP FROM ONE HIGHWAY TO ANOTHER DOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH MY 2013 FORD EDGE JERKED, A WRENCH POPPED UP ON MY DASH, AND IT LOST POWER. THE ACCELERATOR DID NOT WORK BUT THE CAR WAS STILL IDLING. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AND THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY LANE ON THE LEFT SO I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP. WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK, TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON IT WAS LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE ACCELERATOR WORKED AND THE WRENCH WAS GONE. HOWEVER, THIS HAVE SINCE HAPPENED TO BE TWO MORE TIMES AND LOWER SPEEDS. BOTH TIMES LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AND WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON EVERYTHING WORKED. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER DRIVERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!
