NHTSA Complaint #10886232 — 2011 FORD EDGE

CAR WIL GRADUALLY SLOW DOWN LEADING TO A COMPLETE STOP. POWER TO THE ENGINE SEEMS TO DECREASE AND SPEED SLOWS. HAPPENED 4 TIMES OVER SEVERAL WEEKS. IT WOULD HAPPEN THEN AN HOUR LATER CAR WOULD BE COMPLETELY FINE AND DRIVE OK FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN HAPPEN AGAIN. HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS DRIVING AT 30-50 MPH ON NORMAL CITY STREETS (NOT HIGHWAY) WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, WHERE THEY IDENTIFIED THE THROTTLE BODY AS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. OUR VIN IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM THOUGH; WHICH WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND - MEETS THE YEAR/MAKE/MODEL AND CHARACTERISTICS OF ISSUE. EVER SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR WE HAVE ALSO HAD LINGERING ELECTRICAL ISSUES - SEPARATE OF THE THROTTLE BODY, THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY -- DRIVE DOOR LIGHT SAYS OPEN AND IT'S NOT, TAILLIGHTS RANDOMLY FLASH WHEN CAR IS OFF AND NO ONE IS IN CAR, ETC. WE ARE THINKING THIS ONE WAS JUST A DUD. WE ALSO OWN ANOTHER FORD EDGE 2014 MODEL - NO ISSUES. CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED FOR THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. WE CAN PROVIDE RECEIPTS / INFO ONCE WE PICK IT UP. CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THAT VEHICLES IDENTIFIED FOR THE RECALL WERE BASED ON DATE OF MANUFACTURE AND LOCATION - THEY MUST'VE MISSED US.
