NHTSA Complaint #10777835 — 2011 FORD EDGE

I WAS DRIVING, AT 40 MILES PER HOUR, ON A CITY STREET. THE YELLOW/GOLD INDICATOR (A WRENCH) APPEARED. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER, GOING FROM 40 TO 20 MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAPPENED IN LESS THAN ONE MINUTE. I PULLED ON TO A SIDE STREET, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND CHECKED TO OWNER'S MANUAL. IT SAID :POWER TRAIN MALFUNCTION". THE INSTRUCTIONS SAID TO STOP DRIVING AND CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. I DID THIS. I CALLED FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. I WANTED TO KNOW IF IT WAS SAFE TO TURN ON THE CAR'S AIR CONDITIONING. I WAS TOLD, "YES" THIS IS SAFE. THE TOW ARRIVED 65 MINUTES LATER AND TOOK THE CAR DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER THREE DAYS OF GOING OVER THE CAR, DRIVING IT, CONTACTING FORD, THE (FORD) DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE THE CAR AND IF THIS HAPPENED AGAIN, TO BRING THE CAR DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND DO NOT TURN OFF THE ENGINE. HOW AM I TO DRIVE THE CAR WHEN THE CAR IS IN THIS CONDITION? HOW CAN I DRIVE ON A CITY HIGHWAY OR AN INTERSTATE, WHERE THE SPEED IS HIGH AND HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN? HOW CAN I SAFELY DRIVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THIS CAR? I CALLED FORD, BUT OF COURSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING. I WANT THE CEO MARK FIELDS AND THE EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN, WILLIAM CLAY FORD, JR. TO TELL ME: 1. WOULD YOU FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR; 2. HOW CAN YOU EMPLOYEE SO MANY ENGINEERS (PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, ETC.) AND NOT HAVE SOLVED THIS PROBLEM?
