NHTSA Complaint #10876550 — 2011 FORD EDGE

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLES ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY KIND OF WARNING. THE "AWD LIGHT" WILL COME ON AND THE "WRENCH LIGHT" WILL START FLASHING THE VEHICLE WILL START TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS. ONCE IN EARLY APRIL 2016 AND AGAIN ON 6/24/16, AND THE NEXT DAY (TODAY) ON 6/25/16. ALL TIMES THE ROAD WAS DRY AND TEMPS WERE BETWEEN 70-80 DEGREES. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX. 55 MPH IN TRAFFIC ON ROADS WITHOUT A SHOULDER. ONCE SAFELY PULLED OVER THE START BUTTON (KEYLESS START) IS TURNED OFF AND AFTER THE VEHICLE SITS FOR MINUTE IT IS ABLE TO STARTED AGAIN WITHOUT THE LIGHTS COMING ON. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON-LINE AND THERE ARE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING ON HIGHWAYS WHERE ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN NARROWLY AVOIDED. TRAVELING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT HIGH SPEEDS WHEN THIS HAPPENS COULD BE A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. PLEASE FORCE FORD TO ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES DUE TO THIS ISSUE.
