NHTSA Complaint #10788103 — 2007 FORD EDGE

SINCE I PURCHASED VEHICLE, WILL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN NO POWER, CAR DOES NOT DIE OUT. IT IS STILL RUNNING, BUT YOU CANNOT GO ANYWHERE, WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. IT'S DONE IT AT RANDOM, DEAL NEVER FINDS ISSUE. IT IS NOW HAPPENING EVERY DAY AND WILL THROW A THROTTLE BODY CODE, SAME ISSUE AS WITH OTHER FORDS. COMPLAINTS ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET, DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THEY'VE SEEN IT WITH ALMOST ALL FORD EDGES. IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDING TO BE RECALLED. THERE IS A FORD TSB ON OTHER MODELS OF FORD WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. THIS CAN CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT AS THE CAR JUST STOPS ACCELERATING SO IT SLOWS DOWN QUICKLY. THE ONLY RESOLUTION IS TO SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS ALSO CLEARS THE CODE SO THAT'S WHY IT'S HARD TO TROUBLESHOOT AT THE DEALER. FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I JUST DON'T DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY ANY LONGER BECAUSE I'M AFRAID OF BEING REAR ENDED AT HIGH SPEEDS BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENCE ON FORD'S PART.
