NHTSA Complaint #10884294 — 2008 FORD EDGE

ON APPROXIMATELY 7/6/2016, WHILE IN MOTION, TRAVELING NORTH ON RIVERSIDE DRIVE -I-55 NORTH, ON THE 2-LANE OVERPASS AT I-55 & MCLEMORE, 18 WHEELER WAS TO THE RIGHT AND I WAS BEHIND ANOTHER MOTORIST IN LINE AND TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH WITH A LINE OF VEHICLES BEHIND, IT WAS AFTER WORK RUSH HOUR 4:45PM; WHEN AS I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS, SEEMED TO IT LOSE POWER, DECELERATES IN THE MIDDLE OF ON GOING TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED AND THEN STAYED ILLUMINATED, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE IN ORDER GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND TRAFFIC WAS AT A VERY FAST FLOW. MY SYNC SYSTEM SURGED, A-C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR, THE VEHICLE STARTED "MISSING" BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHUT OFF. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ADVANCE AUTO PARTS STORE AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A MISFIRE IN 3 OF THE IGNITION COILS, BOUGHT REPLACEMENT COILS AND HAD ALL 6 OF THEM REPLACED. START THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS CLEARED BUT CAME RIGHT BACK, THE VEHICLE IS STILL MISS FIRING ON THE EXACT SAME COILS THIS TIME ALONG WITH THE PCM. OUT OF HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AT THE MOMENT AND IT LOOKS LIKE I WILL BE OUT OF $3000 TO FORD FOR AN ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW IS FAULTY WITHIN THE DESIGN OF THE COMPUTER. WE'VE ALREADY PAID $30,000 FOR THE VEHICLE, WHY WOULD FORD NOT RECALL AND REPAIR THESE ISSUES IF THEY ARE AWARE OF IT????
