NHTSA Complaint #10864538 — 2011 FORD EDGE

CAR HAS STALLED TWO TIMES, ONE TIME WAS WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR WAS GOING FULL SPEED 55MPH , HAD NO ISSUES LEADING UP TO IT, I SLOWED DOWN TO RUN AND IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN - NO POWER STEERING, NO ACCELERATION IT WAS DEAD, THE ENGINE WAS OFF BUT THE CAR WAS STILL ON. OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS A HORRIBLE TIME FOR IT TO DIE. I WAS ABLE TO, BARELY, MAKE THE TURN WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND PULL OVER. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. THE OTHER TIME IT HAPPENED WAS MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAD JUST STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT IN REVERSE, AGAIN THE CAR ON BUT NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. THE ISSUE I HAVE HERE IS JUDGING BY THE ONLINE POSTS THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF FORD SUV'S BUT BECAUSE THIS ISN'T A RECALL THE SERVICE PEOPLE HAVE TO SEE IT ACTUALLY HAPPENING, SO IT NEVER CAN GET FIXED, BECAUSE IT IS VERY INTERMITTENT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD AND NOT ISSUING A RECALL, PUTTING LIVES IN DANGER - I WILL BE SELLING ALL OF OUR FORDS ( WE HAVE 3).
