NHTSA Complaint #10887879 — 2012 FORD EDGE

I WAS TAKING MY 91 YEAR OLD FATHER TO THE DOCTOR WHEN I LOST ALL POWER DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT WAS NOT REACTING WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO STEER TO THE SIDE. TURNED THE CAR OFF, RESTARTED AND ALL SEEMED TO DO WELL. TOOK TO THE SHOP. WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. I HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN WITH MY FORD FUSION. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO LOSE ALL POWER DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE NO INJURIES OCCURRED BUT FURIOUS TO LEARN THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTIES. VERY EXPENSIVE LESSON THE FIRST TIME. WILL BE EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE THIS TIME.
