NHTSA Complaint #10760978 — 2015 FORD EDGE

I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. I MERGED INTO THE FINAL LANE AND PUSHED THE GAS TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE JUST STARTED SLOWING DOWN. THE ENGINE HAD DIED COMPLETELY. NO WARNING LIGHTS OF ANY KIND BEFOREHAND. IT JUST STOPPED RUNNING. THE GREEN LIGHT ON THE IGNITION WAS FLASHING, AND AN ERROR CAME ON THE SCREEN SAYING THAT THE ACCESSORIES WERE POWERED. FORTUNATELY, SINCE I WAS IN CONSTRUCTION, I WASN'T MOVING VERY FAST. I WAS ABLE TO CRUISE A FEW YARDS, PUT IT INTO PARK AND SIT. I WAS STILL IN THE ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC, THOUGH. I TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES...NOTHING. FINALLY I LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, THEN WAS ABLE TO START IT AGAIN. I DROVE TO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT, CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAD IT TOWED TO MY DEALERSHIP. THANK GOD I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY, OR MOVING FASTER ON THE SURFACE STREET. THE DEALERSHIP HAS IT NOW, BUT AFTER READING HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE TWO MONTHS.
